I'd also be able to get them squared away with the right fractional differences from track-to-track and surface to surface. I could have a field day doing a whole lot of geeky stuff like that with the game.
I loved that game. And you're right with the tendencies/running styles, there were opportunities to steal races on the lead and so on. The only thing I didn't like (besides the jump races) were the tracks that had an uphill in the stetch. I used to play that game for hours (this is when I had plenty of time to kill) .

I freaking loved the jump races. Saving ground was huge in them with some of the tight ass turns on a few courses.
