This new game looks to be one of the best auto racing sims forthe PC around with super graphics and fast paced action like you were actully behind the wheel of a sprint car sliding sideways and if you happen to roll the car your in for a ride and the tracks are all so real such as KNOXVILLE,Iowa where the Amoco Knoxville Sprint Car Nationals are held in August and the game also has the famed Eldora Speedway in Ohio and 20+ other great tracks to try your skills at...

If you like sprint cars and play computer games, this is a match made in heaven. The only thing I didn't like is that Manzanita is a quarter mile track in the game. I'm from Arizona, home of Manzanita, and it's a half mile! Outlaws get 15 second times here, not too bad, when they actually come, which is not too much any more, and Western World has lots of history. Manzy has history.

Knoxville, Eldora, Terre Haute, Williams Grove, Lernerville, and more are all there.

If you find yourself "mastering" racing games to the point it's boring, just try that with this one hard setting on "quick race" mode. If you take a turn too wide, they WILL pass you. You mess up, you lose. You try as hard as you can and don't make a mistake, you may keep up. No "running away" in that mode. If you have the original DTR game, you can race on the tracks in both games.

The graphics are decent for me, I have to set graphics on regular, otherwise the computer runs too slow. Graphics are okay, but if you have a fast computer you can set graphics on high and it will almost be like watching sprints on T.V.

For those who complain steering and driving is unrealistic, set your car up right and it will be. Put the shocks on "tie-down" on the left side, and "tie-up" on the right side, you will get the real effect of leaning to the left entering the turns, due to wind resistance on the wing. Set your wing forward on small tracks, so your front wheels will grip, and set it back on big tracks so you don't powerslide too much and rear tires will grip. Put too much stagger in, and you can't get out of a powerslide. Too little stagger, and you will head straight to the wall on sharp corners. Setting tires on "wear" will make tires blow out when you hit other cars. Use a low ("tall") final gears on big tracks, high gears (like 5.40) on small tracks to pick up out of the corners. No, parts don't fly off in crashes like in real life, they just stay on the car and bend. Not too big a deal.

The cusion is non-existent, that's about the only unrealistic thing I have seen in this game. Don't bother with the cusion, it doesn't hold you back or stop you from sliding.

The wait is over

Just like the rest of you, I to have anxiously awaited this game! Not only this game, but a sprint car game in genera. Having played the demo, I can assure you all not only the game, but the wait is well worth it! Graphics are great, gameplay is wonderful, and I was acting like a 4 year old playing it! (And that was only the demo). The holdup was in liscening with the WoO! Enjoy the game all! By the way, the pricing is another plus! Where else can you get a reusable right rear Goodyear for 20 bucks!

When the hell will this game come out?

I have played NASCAR, F1 and Sports Car games on the PC. DTRSC is by far THE BEST racing game you can get your hands on. Don't let the low price fool you. I would gladly pay more for a game of this caliber. I have had this game for almost a year now and I have been playing it more than any other game. Its realism and game play are simply outstanding and I have encountered almost no glitches. There are many many tracks in the game so the scenery will never get old.

I have been in sprint car racing ever since I was 5 years old. I not only watched it on t.v. but my dad had his own car on the Outlaw tour, maybe some of you now who he is by the number of his car or who drove for my dad. 32u was my dad's car and a number of drivers raced for him: Jac Haudenschild, Johnny Herrera, Keith Kauffman, Rocky Hodges, Joe Gearte, Lee Brewer Jr. , and many other drivers. So what I am really writting about is that I want too buy this game, but my bank card will not work over the internet, so I was wondering if Amazon.com would consider doing money orders.

Sincerely, Derrick Layton 32u

I do not know when the game will be out. I do know that all the trubble with the game is that all the copywrite stuff is not done with. Ratbag is done with the game it is all in WIZARD WORKS hands now. I got an e-mail from Ratbag and they said the demo should be out the 4th of October. We will all just have to wait and see.

Dirt Track Racing is a very good game.

Very solid game, very good graphics,cars drives quiet well, even though we all know you have to keep turning the steering, left and right, when going around turns. For the price , someone did a good job on this game.

One of the Best Ever!

Dirt track racing is one of the best racing games I have ever had. I have been playing it for over a year and still find the professional levels very challenging. I would highly recomend this for anyone with medium to high skills in the computer racing arena!
