Other times she just snaps around. The downfall of this feature is the requirement of a 3d video card, preferably 32mb or more. But the game can be run on much, much less. The minimum system requirements are 64mb of RAM, a Pentium II 266mhz processor, and a 16mb video card. The game can be run with a keyboard, but not very effectively.
Most users purchase joysticks or wheel and pedal combinations.
Thrustmaster also has a full line of racing controllers. Multiplayer, for me, makes the game. The warp and lag problems seem to be a non-issue. Occasionally there are a few, but not often. Sunday night, as a matter of fact, I was in a race with about twenty friends on an OC3 connection out of Indianapolis.
