Notes from behind the scenes:
Mark Blundell had to be pulled away from racing CART Precision Racing this week.

Mark says Microsoft CART Precision Racing is "totally amazing" - he made his usual garage setup and is now turning 1:07 times at Laguna Seca. This is within 1 second of his actual time this season!

(No one at Microsoft or TRI has ever turned less than 1:12 on Laguna Seca - even after several hundred hours practice.)

 

Alex Zanardi
Yep, it's Alex Zanardi having a blast and doing his best to maintain his real-world times on CART Precision Racing! And that's Andrew Craig, the president of CART, in the background of the photo above (with the red tie and dark suit)!

This is what
Mauricio Gugelmin
has to say:

"Finally there is a race simulation game with the real feel and characteristics of a CART racing car. The speed perception, grip and braking capacity, mirror exactly what we have on the 'real thing'. Also, all the possible set ups we can change in the real car are available in the game. The race tracks graphics are fantastic and absolutely real. What will happen is that those players used with the so far available race games, will have to re adapt their playing, because what they've played so far are games that don't have the feeling of a real car."

 

 

 

Best Driving Game of the Year!

 

"CART Precision Racing Screams!"
   -Johnny Wilson from Computer Gaming World

"With an excellent driving model and great garage support, CART is clearly the one driving game that took the checkered flag in 1997."
   -Gamespot

"Microsoft's CART Precision Racing qualifies as the best game of its type ever produced..."

"CART Precision Racing is One of the Best Auto-Racing Sims Ever."

"The folks at Papyrus (INDYCAR Racing II) and Psygnosis (Formula F1) have reason to be worried, because Microsoft CART is nothing short of brilliant."
   -Computer Gaming World

"I almost fell out of my chair on several occasions because I was REALLY leaning into each turn, right along with the game".
   -PCME rated 92% by the Adrenaline Zone

"Microsoft's design and attention to detail is so precise that CART could be considered the new standard".
   -rated 4/5 stars by Next Generation

Rated 5 out of 5 stars by Download.net

"The racing is excellent! Excellent graphics, and the AI are very good."
   -rated V8 by The Pits

"If you take the time to delve into the world of CART Precision Racing, you'll find that this has to be the meatiest and most realistic driving simulator to date."

"If you're looking for a truly complete driving simulator, look no further, CART is for you. Microsoft is on a roll; CART is to racing what Flight Simulator 98 is to flying. A very solid and well thought out product."
   -Gaming Age

8.4 out of 10!
"If you are a fan of hard-core racing simulations, you must take this CART for a spin."

   -GameSpot

"Get ready to fuel up your PC and kick into non stop intense racing action! You've never seen racing so good and realistic. Microsoft, creators of Cart: Precision Racing, have created the hottest new Indy Car racing simulator....
I personally have never been a fan of racing games. As a gamer, I've also been a major 3d action shooter junkie. I could never seem to find a worthy racing game, so I paid absolutely no attention to that game genre. Microsoft's Cart: Precision Racing totally changed my attitude about racing games."

   -Gamers City

"CART Precision Racing" is probably the most finely crafted racing simulation game ever. Not only are the physics accurate for the vast majority of instances, but it looks fantastic as well, sporting all sorts of nifty little extras and loving touches that suck you into the game like no other computer car has done in ages.
"It's true that Papyrus has been fashioning racing simulations much longer than Microsoft, and they're working on "Indy Car Racing 3," but for the time being they've been left in the dust. Any CART fan should buy this game."

   -Zentertainment

"The guys at Microsoft and Terminal Reality have done an outstanding job in bringing a realistic Indy-car experience home."

"I spent a good three days straight playing this game and still have the desire to get behind the wheel again and again."
   -PC Games Online

"The attention to detail is sure to please the most hardcore of gamer out there, and the graphics and sound ensure that players that just want a simple racing game will have their need fulfilled as well."
   -Online Gaming Review

"Nearly every aspect of the game can be customized, in discrete chunks, so that most every player should find a level of complexity that satisfies."
   -Computer Games Online

"Precision Racing gave me a sense of speed that has been lacking in the competition, so much so that it can be a fairly frightening experience. Not only does the car handle like a real Indy car, but there are plenty of subtle touches to complete the experience, not the least of which is the sensation of feeling every minor little bump on the road."
   -Online Gaming Review

"Fantastic graphics, a wonderful racing model, and complete attention to detail make this the new king of Indy Car racing games."
   -Electric Games Review

FOUR STARS!  "For racing sim fans, this is definitely one to buy... the driving itself is among the best racing simulation available."
   -bURNT PC Review

"Graphically CART is top notch."

"Speaking of realism, CART is a gear heads dream. Every, and I mean every, stinkin part of your Indy car can be tweaked and adjusted to your hearts content to give you maximum performance."
   -Slaughterhouse Pick

 

CART Precision Racing has been getting rave reviews and it's taking pole position with everyone who has had a chance to race it! It's available in stores everywhere!
