Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars Review

Bookmark and Share Share | Digg! Digg This | Glink It Glink It

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines, and be prepared for the coolest racing game I've seen in a long while. Those of us who know racing, know that you can't get much more realistic than this game. The outlaw sprints are tons of fun to watch, and with this game you can actually experience (well, as much as is possible without actually being in one) what it is like to drive one. 

You will also have the thrill of knowing what it's like to build your own car from the ground up, from knowing tire pressures, to tire compounds, to the gear ratios, brake strength (BRAKES?? in a race car??? nahhh), toe in/out, rear spacing, wing position, and on and on. It's truly a technical racer's dream come true, and, for all you actual drivers out there that play this game, it has an added bonus of letting you kinda try things out BEFORE trying them on the real car (less chance of sayin' hi to a wall this way!). 

I guess you can tell from this review that I'm a serious race fan and former driver, so trust me when I say that this IS a 'must have' game for anybody that likes racing. Unless you are actually ON the track, this is as good as it gets when it comes to a racing.
