- Much better handling
- Graphical glitches: Even though the FPS consistently shows 60FPS on my Athlon 2800+ / Radeon 9600Pro, there is some massive flickering going on in the background, most obviously in the sky in the 1st person view. It looks like the flickering diminishes while shifting gears, but any time you are accelerating, the sky flickers continuously... Pretty distracting. I don't remember if the original version had the same issue as well or not (don't have the original .exe anymore) Either way it's less noticable in the top view version since you see a lot less sky in that viewpoint.
-As far as the controls are concerned: If I were you, I would seriously consider making them user configurable in any 'final' version. If you grew up with the QAOP key combo it may not sound like a big deal, but to me that is probably the biggest turn-off in your game as it is at the moment -- It requires you to use both of your hands for the steering alone, on top of needing one of your hands to break and such. Cursor keys allow you to do all the stearing with one hand, and the breaking with the other. It's also what the majority of other 'modern' racing games I've played are using, so a habit kind of hard to break.
