Driving hint:

WHen you are going fast, use 7 and 9 to steer; Use 1 and 3 when you want to turn around.
If you want to drift, accelerate to a normal speed, then suddenly steer and press X (handbreak) for short time, then press A, and steer against the drifring.

Some interesting facts:
- Why such a long precalc?
The road and the terrain is generated. It uses 3d boolean (CSG) to cut or build the terrain.
- It uses a 2.0 VertexShader to cull polygons that are outside the spotlight of the car, or far from a lightsource.
- A 64bit version with SSE2 support is much faster, allowing more moving objects. But the demo playback is inconsistent, because it only stores the players input, so a small difference in calcualtion can result in wrong demoplayback.
Other control keys:
1 - pause
2 - step one frame
i - screenshot
o - playback recorded play
p - save playback
