"I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car." Nigel Mansell |
One of the all-time driving greats, Sir Stirling Moss. Clicking on the image below will take you to his web site.
Here are a few cars from my current fleet. If I'm popping down to the shops I usually take the Alfa as it annoys everybody at the supermarket car park when I use two spaces. The Maserati is nice on the motorway if it's dry. The Tyrell goes like stink.

You can select from one of the following makes of car: Brabham, BRM, Coventry, Eagle, Ferrari, Lotus and Murasama. The driving model is extremely advanced, probably the best currently available.
A few tips which you may find useful:
turn off some of the textures in the mirrors if you're short of processor power;
the Lotus is probably the fastest but the Eagle is slightly easier to drive;
Monza is the easiest track to learn and a good place to start;
use headphones and turn the volume up; and
turn off all driver aids.
