Big Red Racing

Developed by Big Red Software and released in 1996.

Tournament is completed first and then the rest of the tracks in single race mode. Game glitched at Mars where all the opponents freezed at the start / finish line after two laps. That happened before with some other tracks when I was not recording so it appears to be a random glitch.

This is the latest DOS release version I could find. Audio commentary is removed for some reason, but I prefer to disable it anyways. Listening to emulated fart sounds and generally obnoxious noise gets annoying very fast. I got another version with commentary included. That was used to record track introduction commentary for each track at the end of the video with short previews of track. I also played the last two races from that version with commentary enabled.

Never liked this game much for the wonky physics and camera rotation. Pretty much impossible to play with cockpit view, because the track disappears very often. Colliding throws camera around the cockpit and there's no chance to see anything. Constant screen shaking is also very annoying, but you get used to it. I'm not sure if it was this bad back in the days, because haven't played this in 20 years, but I doubt it's a DOSBox issue. However, BRR has the option to play multiplayer in split screen or with serial link / modem connection. Options at the time for PC multiplayer gaming were still limited.
