CART: Flag to Flag
Overall Verdict: 8.4 / 10

This racing game launched by Sega of America is inferior graphics-wise toSega Rally 2. However, Flag-to-Flag has been designed primarily for the fans of the FedEx CART Series.  With the complete line-up of 27 cars plus 5 secret cars and 19 tracks, this game is a must for those who enjoy the speed of ovals.

Though it looks complicated, CART Flag-to-Flag is a fairly simple game to finish, although a bit tiring later on because the CPU seems to be lacking in cornering abilities.  In fact, in some road course, you can even take the lead from last place with just two laps down.  However, car options look promising such as fuel level, suspension stiffness level and so-forth, but when I play the game, what I usually do it just half my fuel capacity, adjust my front and rear wing level to minimal and be off (and it works!)

The fun part in this game is when you try to play against the computer in the championship mode.  Why?  Well, there's this option where you can turn your car damage off.  To win, you can just ram the rear part of everyone's car! I did that to Alex Zanardi a couple of times already. Hehehehe.

Part of the first batch of Dreamcast game releases, Flag-to-Flag is great for those who consider drifting a bit too much annoying, and those who just want to have a great time without even having getting through a steep learning curve.


Though the graphics aren't as detailed as Sega Rally, CART: Flag to Flag still is one solid racing game, albeit too easy.
More of arcade style closed circuit racing than a true simulation, this game still brings Indycar action to the next level.
