It's really nice to see people take on these older games with a wheel and drive like they actually know what racing is. Not all over the place, actually running the racing line, not taking out all competitors. This was fun to watch!

This was a fantastic game. It was the first ever serious racing I played. I had it on my Windows 95 in DOS mode. I wish they made more racing games with AI like this game had for today's major racing games. I just remember having to play this on keyboard, nowhere near as good as you race in this video.

I played this game like in 95 or 96 on a Pentium 100 MHz and it felt so real back then. Good memories.

One thing I noticed that I remember back when I spent hours on the sim... On a full fuel load, you really can't go flat through the corners unless you have so much wing that you'll get killed on the straight. If you roll out as you enter the corner, the car is a lot better behaved through the corner. It looks like the car is trying to push, which you're trying to correct with the bars, and it looks like the car is "pushy-loose"--it pushes going in, then once enough speed is scrubbed off, the car gets loose. Getting out of the throttle on entry helps fix that. The bonus is that at the end of the run when you can run flat all the way around, your tires are still in good shape.

When I really got into racing, all I wanted to play was Papyrus Racing games, because even back when this game came out, they tried to think of everything. The physics, for the time period, were extraordinary. I've never played a Papy game (on PC) that I didn't have hours of fun playing. This one came out when I was 8, so I wasn't good or anything, but 25 years later I still love racing and I still sim race. I wanted to leave that reply to your comment because I can tell you know how to race and you got to experience the incredible sims I did as a youth. Who would have thought in 1995 you'd need to think about tire life or fuel weight in a racing "game"? If not for these experiences I wouldn't have the confidence I have behind the wheel of anything.

@@JReaLBiz86 Those games from Papyrus were extremely realistic. Each circuit was different and a very precised and accurate car setting was necessary in order to perform well...and just finishing a race was a good performance. The user's manual was extremely helpful, it was actually a kind of racing book where everything was well explained. The key in those ovals was to adjust properly the wings, tyre pressure (particularly the left front tyre), shocks and adjusting the weight transfer throughout the race. That's why you had to spend hours testing before attempting to race a single race.

I played ICR2 for Years, I really loved the way you can update the cars and drivers to newer seasons than 95. It was a good time of my early years and I know I drove with 98% AI and random weather.

This was the only track I ever delved into going 100% realism. Full laps too. I had to really learn about keeping track of fuel and tires, balancing fuel vs weight, etc. It was a fun ride. I almost crashed 4 laps before the last one, due to lack of focus. Ended up on the grass with an intact car, somehow. Paused the game to take a deep breath and go for a piss, and then did the last laps carefully. :) I had a blast with this game. Usually I had fun fine tuning the car for Laguna Seca, or crashing it against the walls lol.

Damn i used to love this game... one of the reasons i failed my exams as a teenager...

i spent so many hours playing this amazing game!!! awesome!

Nice engine sound mod. The engine sounds are from Cart Precision Racing (1997).

The racing game I had the most fun with, can't remember when that was but like to remember a lot.

For me, the best part was having to try and find the right balance of tire compound, fuel, acceleration, top speed, boost, and number of stops.

what a great game. my favourite racing game of all time.

i used to play this game too! BUT I LOVED CRASHING!!!! ANYONE can race going the same direction as all the other cars, TRY DOING IT going the opposite way!!!! ITS FUN!!! and turning on the damage to full!!! I have crashed cars up so bad all that was left was the main pod where the driver sits!!! LOL

What controller did you use in this game?

Amazing AI. I don't think a game exists today where you can race the number 2 car the way that guy did lap after lap.

Nice Job at 4:00. You are very good

anyone have a legit download link to this game? I can't find my CD and I've been itching to play this game again

Great, close racing! Opponent strength?

@kammak128512 I managed to get the sound to work and got the res looking much better. Although I feel it can be slightly better. With that being said thanks for the tips youtube community for the win. Do you have any advice to get better fps mine doesn't seem to be constant. It def goes up and down a bit

I used to play this game a LOT back in 1997 when I was a kid, although I wasn't too good at it. What controller did you use when playing this video?

I doubt you'll respond but how exactly did you get everything working. The game, the sound, the mods, etc. I've tried installing it but have only had it work on incredibly low res with no sound. Dosbox is incredibly annoying to deal with might you have any suggestions?

I used to play that. awesome...

It's exactly as seen on abc.

How do I run this absolutely legendary game in 2018 - but not DOS? The Windows 95 version And is there a paint kit download???

There is a seller on Ebay, allvideo, who has hundreds of old games for sale, including this one. He has to sell you one of the original disks or it would be copyright infringement, but what he also sends you is a game disk that has the game and Dosbox on it. Once you install it the game runs flawlessly. Downside is that it sets a virtual Dos/95, as appropriate, machine temporarily, so, no multiplayer. Solo play only. But he guarantees it to work, or money back. You just have to give him a chance to help you get it to work if there is a problem. I've bought dozens of games from him with absolutely no problems.

my 2nd game. i bought it abt 6month's after i'd been playing my 1st, Geoff Crammond's GP2. Nascar Racing2 came next. nothing wasted here - all cockpit function's have purpose/can be manipulated. serious stuff. not arcade by any mean's but simulation.

i wish that you can show the full race

What's up with the mirrors? There are cars slowly rotating there.

I know that there are many new dash templates but I din't find them to download whatsoever! Does anyone here have different cockpit datas (archieve rol.dat) for sharing? Please please! :'( About a decade ago I saw a beautiful job on some no longer existent website. It was a Lola 2004-6 cockpit! I need it so much!!! T_T

@Projectekon I just figured out how to get sound and high res. First, use the setup.exe to install the sound. Then, to get high res, when you're typing in indycar.exe, add -h to the end.

This game was so realistic that you needed to actually know how to race otherwise you would realistically break parts of your car

Try with a 486 Dx2 66 with sound blaster inside :)

you're right front tire pressure is too high. Camber is good, though...

The XboxOne is being pushed to its limit here.

you have a turbo boost. i never see you use it. i think it expends gasoline

Legit? No, because that's how dumb copyright law is. Even though they don't sell it anymore. But *wink*, I have it still. Find me.
