AMiga version is excellent, the PC version was very good too.

BUT: it is not playable as a game. it lacks a lot of playabilty, it should have
been better beta tested. You can buy it, you won't feel ripped off, the
programmer have made some real good work, you will show it to you friends, and
be amazed by the instant replay features... but if you try to play a game,
either you play in no crash mode (no interest), or are forced to run 50 turns,
and in the event of any crash between two cars you must wait doing NOTHING for 2
minutes while the track is cleared!!!

One more technical masterpiece ruined by poor beta testing...
