Version Differences and Fatal Racing 2.0
An official 2.0 update was also later released that included 3D Blaster support as well as several other changes, although the patch notes do not list the full changes. Listed below are the most obvious changes:
- All cars on both the normal and advanced set are around 10%-15% faster.
- Additional network support including both serial link and modem connections.
- Several user interface changes: Confirmation dialog when selecting 'Exit to Dos', 'False Starts' renamed to 'Engine damage' under miscellaneous options and arrow keys are usable to navigate the mid-race pause/options menu.
- The colour of Million Plus on the in game minimap and arrow below the player names are changed from grey to turquoise for better visibility.
Retail copies of the game after a certain date are all version 2.0 with no apparent way of downgrading. These new retail versions however also have the option of switching between the default and advanced cars set via an additional menu option which seems to be lacking from both the original 1.x and patched 2.0 versions. The American version 'Whiplash' seems to be based upon these final retail versions.

“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”

“Generally there is no consistent evidence of significant differences in school achievement between children of working and nonworking mothers, but differences that do appear are often related to maternal satisfaction with her chosen role, and the quality of substitute care.”

“Standing navies, as well as standing armies, serve to keep alive the spirit of war even in the meek heart of peace. In its very embers and smoulderings, they nourish that fatal fire, and half-pay officers, as the priests of Mars, yet guard the temple, though no god be there.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
