And Andretti blows CART Precision Racing away in the frames-per-second department when all the graphics goodies are activated (at least on my system), though it still can't match the performance of the Rendition-ready version of IndyCar II that came with my Total Canopus 3D.
A couple of minor features are strangely absent from Andretti Racing: There's no way to see a race-ending crash in instant replay (the race ends immediately), you can't view replays from the cockpit of a competitor's car, and there aren't any options for setting weather conditions or even the strength of your opponents.
Andretti features all the usual multiplayer modes - modem, serial, and IPX network play are supported - but I was a little perturbed that Internet play wasn't supported with the shipping version.

The only victory for the Andretti family in 55 combined starts was by Mario in 1969, when first place paid a measly _ by today's standards _ $206,727.
