Yeah Total Immersion Racing, one of the few games with a Noble M12 in!
The guys behind TIR, Razorworks, also did Ford Racing 2 onwards, good solid arcade racers. Shame they went under along with Empire Interactive.
Empire did a lot of Sega ports, I doubt Crazy Taxi 3 on PC (or many Sega ports) would have happened without them. They owned FlatOut too, originally.
p.s. I have over 600 racing games on PC, so if anyone from RD wants to ask me about some ideas for rare old games to guess, just PM me
