This game is great, specially with the USB adapter. I'm not very good at it, but it's a bunch of fun.

All you need is to make the USB adapter smell like nitro, and you'd think you were trackside...

I downloaded this a few months ago and have never gone through so many transmitter batteries in my life (or charge cycles) LOL. I get 3 mid week race meets in the comfort of my home. The USB controller is a must and with very very quick shipping to get you up to speed.

I've enjoyed using it so much, I'm actually shopping around to get back into racing again.

SO much for a free program, it's going to cost me thousands!!

The file size must be 24.4mb before it can be unzipped.
I had a problem where the file would download and said it was completed, but it only downloaded 1mb and it wouldn't open it untill i managed to get it to fully download the full 24.4mb but i also downloaded the 'add proxy password' patch from the downloads section. I don't know if that assisted or not in the operation of the set up.

I cant believe what a lazy lazy world we have (or i have) become! How cool is that, no need to spend another stinking hot day out at EC or another friday night (better spent at the pub) at castle hill, i'll just click my mouse a few times and Voila! im racing again!!

Now all i need is the gucci usb adapter and i can atleast be a bit competitive!

Anyone know how long it takes to get sent and how much it costs?

Cheers, Alan.

They're US$30 and it takes about a week to get here.

I'm looking at getting some in for people to buy locally.
