Trackmania ESWC (http://www.esworldcup.com/2006/?act=document_info&id_document=39)
Just downloading it now, will give it a whirl and let y'all know what its like. As a completely free game though it could be fun. Looks quite arcadey which probably wont be quite some much the cup of tea of some of you petrol heads!
It has been a while since I last tried it, but imho it was not that good. The controls were very arcade-like and the tracks ditto. But seems like stuff has happened since then... Keep us posted!
not my style tried it rejected it :) but each to there own 8)
tried it at a lan a few weeks ago and it was great defo not for the single player, network/lan is the way forward with this
and my son thinks its great run really well on his 2.6ghz ath with raddy 9800 :biggrin:
played the old trackmania demo - rather good fun as I recall but didn't sway me to purchase the full product...
downloading...
Definitely arcadey and not for the racing simmers among you, but still great great fun. Especially as its free, worth the download just for the occasional blast!
Bring back stuntcar racer on the Amiga, damn I loved that game especially using a null-modem cable :D
heh, had a go, much like the old trackmania with new, um, track features?
One weird thing - at home I got a message/warning popup that "frontline pro" had been installed and I needed to reboot before playing this new trackmania !? It's a demo, there is no CD ... did it install more annoyanceware on my PC like GTL?
I didnt get that?
:unsure:
if you install the original its a demo if you installed ewsc then its a full product :wink:

I read on the teletext almost 2 years back now that Geoff Crammond was working on a next gen version of it, next gen as in PS2, Xbox etc. I've heard sod all about it since then though, shame.
There's a couple versions of Stunt car racer you can download, the only vers I could get to work though was the C64 one which was awful. I'm sure someone must have the amiga vers up n' running.
i have gp1,2,3 and 4 and they r the daddy, a lot of ppl slated gp4 cause of the graphics... ok graphics wise 4 wasnt the best, game/ physics wise it was the daddy

Err don't they use joysticks? :devil:
solved the unable to conenct hing in this too - damn firewall on the router itself that I set up to prevent p2p traffic during gaming hours... :rolleyes: so if you have no problem viewing servers in TMN but cannot connect and get error 10061 chances are it's a port being blocked...

Another game to look at, if you are up for some manual tweaking and such, it Racer, //www.racerl.nl.
The handling is good, but problem is everybody can make cars and you have no idea how real they are. But if you stick to the good cars you are somewhat safe. There are tons of tracks and cars available.

It's now http://www.racer.nl/ (http://www.racer.nl/)
Bit worried about this though: These Racer downloads are UNSUPPORTED (well, not that Racer itself is really supported in that sense). Download and try at your own risk. Keep a copy of your old files if things don't work out. :unsure:

That basically means that if you can't get a car to work or such, then don't come back to him. I seriously doubt the game will f.. eh.. mess anything up.
Thanks for that. Just don't wanna spend another 60 quid on getting my registry fixed.
I'll give it a try soon.

Well I can of course not guarantee anything, but I have plyed the game for quite a while and in various versions and never had any problems.
Just a warning.
Despite there being no CD with this Trackmania game, it still comes shipped with Starforce. If this bothers you, obviously don't download/install the game. Sorry for not picking this up before...
