If you always wanted to race a CART race well Flag to Flag offer you the opportunity to do so because it was licensed CART. It also was design with the help of their champion team, "Team Rahal".

Flag to Flag include all the 17 teams on circuit with 27 real official driver like the late Greg Moore. Where you will be able to race on 19 racing tracks that was carefully design with a lot of detail down to existing building on the side to the chain links in the tracks fences to simulate them well so they can look as authentic as possible.

In the main menu you have 2 mode of play to select, Arcade and Championship. Arcade mode let you choose to play by yourself or with a friend. Then you select your driver among the 27 then your transmission manual or automatic and witch track you wish to race from the 19 available courses.

" Different point of view "

" Nice cockpit! "

At the end of each race you get a trophy if you come first nad points depending on your finishing rank like first you get 21 second 17 and so on and of course you are the grand champion if you get the most points at the end of the 19 tracks that have raced on.

You might find the control hard to master at first because it not that easy driving with a controller if you don't have a wheel system and although the graphics are very good when your near far away are not quite as good to see so you might run in to things at first but you'll fast. If you run in to cars or walls you won't destroy anything.

The car and the cockpit are very well design, you have 3 view mode but sitting behind the wheel is cool to see you can actually see the driver shifting. Also when you choose your driver you are able to see real stats like how they have been racing to their actual birthday. The sound is also good because they actually recorded the sound of real cars at the Indy 500.

Flag to Flag is the first CART racing game on Dreamcast and the only one so far but it is not a real simulation it lacks realisms but if you always wanted to race CART or are looking for a game where you don't like to much setting you might like it.
