If you were paying attention you would realise that that was from a
later series of games aimed at console users.
I was asking about the former PC game from 1998.

Well what else there was than Geoff Grammonds´ GP-series? Sad but they
are history by now. Inaccurate tracks etc.. They probably design
tracks with GPS nowadays.

As long as the physics works the precise replication of the track
geometry is relatively unimportant. That's the problem with your
previous console games they have different priorities.

Well alright.
But my priority is plain and simple realism. What do you mean by "your
previous console games"? Never had one. I´m a die-hard PC freak :-P

Race Driver was essentially a console game ported to the PC rather than
designed out and out for the PC. It was a step forward in some respects
for console games though not what that market desires most i.e. arcade.
That is why Codemasters lost their edge IMO.
