Game Menus
With "ICR2" you can also use the Win95 version of the game. This is a description of only the DOS version of the game.
In "ICR2" the same menus that were used in "IndyCar Racing" are used:
Single race - Choose a track and have a whole race weekend there.
Championship season - Here you can start a new season or continue an existing season with the next race weekend on the Championship calendar. The calendar of the season can be changed in the main directory of ICR2. This file is to open with the standard "editor". You can change everything and add any newly installed track. Of course, these changes are only accepted when you start a new season because all options selected at the start of the season (weather type or race length) are always saved in the "season.bin" file.
Preseason testing - Choose any track and test there without any opponents or spectators.
Multiplayer race - This needs a modem connection between two computers.
Driver info - This menu allows you to alter your chassis or engine types. Also, all other drivers can be changed in their setup (names, setups, engines. That means that you could have the Team Penske have another name or have it to drive a Ford-Cosworth engine on a Lola chassis. If you have a read-only "drivers2.txt" where the names are included of course ICR2 couldn't save your changes. The "cars" directory in "ICR2" has normally the "Cars95" set. But you can install other carsets that were published in the net. If you put another carset in the carset directory this meant that you opened a new folder and named it the same way like the "*.dat" file was named (for example "Lola1993.dat" needs a directory "Lola1993" in the "cars" folder). If you don't like a carset you should be careful: Put in a normal carset that you don't want to delete. THEN delete the one you don't like. If you forget to do so, you have a problem with "gameopts.cfg" because in this file the name of the carset you last used is saved. I had a lot of different carsets in the cars folder and the game always worked.
Options - You can choose a lot in the options menu. Some of the most important options:
Controls Nowadays you also can use a Steering wheel.
Race length You can choose a value from 1% to 100%.
Opponents strength You can choose a value from 80% to 120%.

Famous quotes containing the word game:
“In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
