Racer's beta versions to get to the next full version.

REQUIREMENTS

• Windows XP/2003-Server/Vista/7; Pentium IV or AMD processor. Anything from 1Ghz will do ok, but a good graphics card is most important.
  Note that the beta versions DO NOT support Windows 95/98/ME (trouble with fonts).
• A good 3D graphics card (supporting OpenGL and Cg) like from nVidia or AMD/ATI. Onboard graphics (such as most Intel card) very often aren't good enough. We work almost exclusively with nVidia cards (and drivers), so those are highly recommended for the best compatibility with Racer.
• DirectX8.0 or better. Actually, for NT4, only DINPUT8.dll seems to be needed; copy this file from another computer into the Racer installation directory (thanks to Rob Anderson for providing this information).

Download latest versions for Windows:

If you have trouble running this version (first try to run racer_nocg.exe if you get errors about 'Cg') you could try the simpler v0.6.5 version; that version does NOT contain the latest bugfixes, physics updates etc, but can be used if you have an old graphics card to check Racer out. With that version though, it's no use trying to make cars / tracks that will work as expected for later beta versions mentioned below.

The changes in the various versions can be read in the log file here.
