There are a heap of new Car games out and demo's. I have collected all the news for the updates over the last few months but have not got around to updating the site as I haven't had the time or energy.

I am looking at either closing down (Just leaving the site as is) or if I can find someone (Preferably another games site which is into Motor Sports, or just a general games / 3D site) interested in updating the site. I would supply them with all the website contents and the news files I have collected if they wanted them. All I ask is that you keep it up to date, give me some credit for creating the site with a history page stating I developed the site from January 1997 to October / November 1999 (possibly put a Picture with it and email address). Finally, if you do start making some money from this site, I would appreciate a small percentage, for all the time I have put into creating the site.

So if you think you / or your website are up to it, email me at [email protected], and I will review your email and choose someone.

Once someone has been found, I will adjust this site plus my original site (http://www.globec.com.au/~dboard) to point to the new location. 

One other thing, I would like this site to end up with a proper domain name, something like www.3ddriving.com. So if you have a nice domain, or could get one that would be a bonus.

And on the mater of gaming, I just bought Driver, its a great game - just lacking network play (Maybe a patch will come out to give this feature). The police AI is absolutely fantastic. Check out the demo if you haven't already, you'll have a real laugh!
 

I also got a new job, which I start in just over a week. The position is Senior LAN Support Officer at CITEC (www.citec.com.au). So things will be busy again soon. 

Car game Updates - added demo of Castrol Honda Superbike Worldchamp's 2000, added Need for Speed 4 car Ferrari 360 Modena, added TOCA 2 patch, added Voodoo3 Patch link for NFS3 and NFS4, added Thrust, Twist and Turn patch, Added GP500 Movie link, added Castrol Honda 2000 game info and screenshots, added an A2 Racer 2 page with a link to an A2 Racer 2 site (Thanks to Vincent Voois), added Dukes of Hazard game page (Thanks to Danny East, the great guy who sent me a copy of the sports car compact review of my site), updated link to the All Racing Simulations Homepage thanks to Maikel Rozemeijer the site developer (http://www.onlineracing.de/), updated my link to Australian Sim Racer Site (Carnrat's Page), added link to 3dfiles TOCA 2 demo page (incase links break to the demo's), added link to 3dfiles site for NFS3 demo incase links are broken, added Need For Speed: Motor City page, added Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 page, added Test Drive 6 page, Added Test Drive Offroad 3 page. 

There were some more patches to add to the page but I think I have had enough for tonight. I think I will also just delete all the old news files that I have not gone through and only add new games / screenshots / demo's and patches. From now on I don't think I will bother sifting through news files for links to reviews. I may add one or two review links, but not all of them (Check NFS 3 page if you want to see what I mean). 

Enjoy!
 

On Tuesday next week I am booked in for my Microsoft NT Server Exam, so I will have to study this weekend. After this I will have a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) Qualification, as my Novell CNE qualifications give me a credit for the Microsoft Networking Essentials Exam. I am also attending the Novell Course, IntraNetware: Intergrating Windows NT next week. After I sit for the Novell exam for this course, I will study for my MS Nt Workstation exam. Once I pass this one I will get the books for two more Novell Courses / Subjects, InterNetworking Fundamentals and Netware TCP/IP. Once I sit the exams for these two subjects I will have a Novell Master CNE in NT Intergration with Netware. 

So to sum up my qualifications, I now have a IntraNetware CNA, Netware 5 CNA, IntraNetware CNE, Netware 5 CNE and by Tuesday next week should also have a Microsoft MCP. I should have a Master CNE in about two months or less. After this I will finish off the three remaining subjects to get a MCSE, NT 4 Enterprise and two electives. 

So if you read all of that you will understand why I haven't felt like or got around to doing many updates on my site (Actually its close to two months since I last updated). So now I will do some updates for all you people who loving racing games (I highly recommend trying out the new demo Re-Volt, you get to drive little remote control cars, really cool!). I also upgraded my PC to a Celeron 400 with an Abit BX6 rev 2 motherboard. 

SITE UPDATES - Added new game / demo Breakneck (Although this game maybe the same as NICE2), Added Nascar Racing Online page and Game (Demo), added Need For Speed 4 (High Stakes) demo, added Official Formula 1 Racing page and demo (Thanks to John Hannaford and the others who emailed me about this game), added Re-Volt game demo (very cool), added Tanaka Page and demo, added Thrust Twist and Turn Demo (TTT), added link to two Fan's racing game site on my Other Driving games site page, updated link to Mark Rael's TOCA 2 site (TOCA2 Players Guide), added some info on Mars Maniacs version .99 demo, added new section on my main page - Online Racing Sites - for Internet racing game players, Added link to Online Racing (Germany, thanks to Claus  Müller for emailing me his address) to my Online Racing Sites page, Updated my PC configuration page (Hardware / Software), updated name of Hotwheels game (Thanks to Denny Parsons for the email), added link to a TOCA 2 review (Thanks to Nicola of Gamespot UK for the link), created separate page for GP500 (This is different to GP500ccm, one is made by Microprose, the other by Ascaron a German company). Thanks to Kevin Burfitt for the email about GP500. 

I Still haven't gone through the news I have collected from the 12th of February till now, and I haven't added links to the atleast 11 new patches as well as some other new games. Hopefully my next update won't be to long from now. But thats all for tonight, its 12:05 and I need to go to bed. Enjoy! 
 

I have only one Novell Exam left, Service and Support, after this I will receive both a Netware 4.11 CNE and a Netware 5 CNE. I am also about to start on my MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional), which I will probably take to a MCSE (The next level like going from a Novell CNA to a CNE). I also have my Novell Intranetware and NT Intergration course booked which will be my second subject on the way to a Master CNE (I will only have two more subjects left after this course to become a Master CNE). Anyway, enough about what I have been doing, I better update my page for all you Racing Maniacs out there. 

I have been collecting news files for quite a while now (and not been adding the info to my site :-(  ). I currently have news files going back to the 15/2/1999 (Australian Date Format). So there are a lot of links to add. I did try to add some demo links (which was my update on the 22/3/1999 so that you would not be totally lost for new downloads). Anyway, off I go to the real updates (Demo's / Patches first and if time some of those links starting from the 15/2/1999).

Thanks to all the people who informed me about AMA superbikes as well, by the end of this update I should have a page for the game. 

One other thing, I have back graded to Netscape 4.05 for my site editor as the later versions were putting extra line breaks all over the pages I edited, creating big empty gaps on my site. Version 4.05 does not have this bug. Is there a fix for this?

If it is does anyone have some info or a URL to a site that has info on this game, I will add the screenshots to a page called ama superbikes next time I do an update if know one can tell me between now and say next weekend. 

I will have to fill in the contents of these pages during my next site update (If I can get a day off of work this week I may do it then, as well as study for my Novell Exam). I work for a Government Agency currently, and we get Banked Days (we have to work the time to cover that day, but we can then use the banked time to have a day off). Anyway this update was just a quick one so you could get some new downloads. 
 

Anyway I haven't done some updates for a while as I have been on a holiday (from work for 10 days). It was actually around home but I was playing with Linux (recompiling kernels etc.) to get it to support my 16mb Banshee 3DFX card and could not be bothered updating the page. But here you have it, an update! I have yet to go through news that I have collected from the 12th of December 1998 and get all the driving game review links from them. If you are after the latest Driving game info in the mean time, try 3dracing.allgames.com or www.agn3d.com. Cheers! Oh, and don't forget my new URL (the old one still works but is much longer) http://p3d.url4life.com

One of the Guy's from Work wanted me to put his name on my page, his name is Scott Martin (he thought he found a broken link on my "other driving game sites" page, but I tested it and it turned out to be our Proxy Server at work, who's cache had not flushed and old copy of the page from its cache, the link was not broken) so there you go Scott, your name has been mentioned on my page! 

I Also have news to go through and pick out links from the 24/10/1998 but I will have to go through those another time. Its getting to late and I have to go to work tomorrow. 

After doing a little bit of research I now believe that Nascar 99 and Nascar 3 are the same product, so I am re-integrating the game pages for these (plus I got an email from a Fan), if this is incorrect please email me and tell me who the developers are for the games. I also removed the TOCA Championship Racing page as it is only the US version of TOCA Touring Car Championship which has been available for quite a while in the rest of the world. 

My site was also added to 3dracing.allgames.com's links section. Thanks Guy's!!
