After seeing this thread from Hanxter....Want To Race A Mini Thru The Streets??? . I found this racer sim the other day.


RACER SIM: MINI Cooper & MINI Cooper S

Early on in production Stecki contacted us at MINI2 for some advice about a model he was making for the free racing simulator called Racer. The models were looking pretty good already, and we've done our best where we can to provide advice on specifications and how the MINI should look. Now, years on, the racer MINIs by Stecki have evolved and improved as the game itself has progessed over time. We have updated our racer section in August 2003 to bring you new MINI Cooper files, compatible with Racer 0.50.

As with most free things on the internet, the Racer sim is constantly being updated and improved, so we will not provide that for download on MINI2. Instead, please visit the official racer site (link below) to download the programme and any other add-ons you may require. The game is suitable for Windows and Linux operation systems.

So here you go, and have fun...

STEP ONE: Download the Racer game and check out the rest of the official racer site at the following URL. This is of course VERY IMPORTANT. Without the game, these cars will be useless! www.racer.nl

STEP TWO: Choose your favourite MINI (or MINI's) from the selection below to download. To download the MINI of your choice, just click on the image you like. The files are zip files, which you need to extract to the folder c:/SIMS/race/data/cars or wherever you installed the racer game. You can even modify the files and update the MINI to make it more to your liking if you're that way included. For advice on how to do this, check out the Racer Forum by clicking HERE

All these MINI's are based on original files and design by Stecki. At his site you will find an excellent Rally MINI and another street MINI to download, plus all the latest news if we are a bit slow of the mark. Check out his site here: http://stecki.racesimcentral.com/.

This really has fed my obsession for the past few weeks. There are several other car models to race if you look for them in the stecki site. I saw in one of the forums a Ford GT and some other neat models. Best part about this sim is that it's free!

That Racer game looks pretty cool. I don't know if my vid card will run it but I hope it will. As for your MINI obsession, we might just need to get you some professional help.

I have this game and I play it ALL the time. You can use the clutch if you configure it right!! Check out this site for hundreds of cars and quite a lot of tracks as well: http://www.racer-xtreme.com/

For those who have never heard of this game, not only is it free, but fans model their own cars and tracks and post them online. It's the coolest thing ever!!

acpower: TOTALLY HOT!!!!! THANKS!!! I can't believe all the cars that they have available... Gran Turismo may be cool... but you can't beat something like this.

i've had it for a while but its very much still a beta. Not very stable at all on this computer. Fun nonetheless when it does work though.

I've been playing that game for awhile. The mini is one of my favorite cars in it. Its suspension is set up very well, although it starts to be difficult when you edit the engine to put out more than 400 N-m of torque .
