I also have that game. It came with a box of breakfast cereals...
It had some interesting features like AI "emotions" and a engineer that would help you set up your car. It wasn´t great, but a pretty decent singleplayer racing game. And, yes, Scawen was part of the development team of this game: http://www.mobygames.com/devel ... t/view/developerId,36680/
The two way telementary was a good idea, the AI business was a rather nice idea. What sucked was the physics - I guess they weren't listening to Scawen ...
