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.

Famous quotes containing the words version, differences, fatal and/or racing:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“My curiosity to see the melancholy spectacle of the executions was so strong that I could not resist it, although I was sensible that I would suffer much from it.... I got upon a scaffold near the fatal tree so that I could clearly see all the dismal scene.... I was most terribly shocked, and thrown into a very deep melancholy.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“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)
