We’re sorry, but the Ford Supercar Challenge is designed to run on Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher and is not available for game play on Macintosh platforms.
Won't work in FireFox... That sucks, guess I've have to start up *shudders* Internet Explorer *shudders again* to check it out...

It's not exactly dial-up friendly, just a quick warning to other dial-up users. :(

EDIT: Not the most stable software I've ever seen either :(

Yep, definately. Spybot - Search and Destroy found that it had installed "WildTangent" in several places in the registry, it's own folder in the Windows directory (C:\WINDOWS\wt) & in C:\Program Files\WildTangent.

Try running spybot - search and destroy with the most recent updates for yourself, and see if it also discovers 27 WildTangent objects. I'm willing to bet it does.

Not having a go, just warning everyone, I can't say I was impressed by this software being installed without my knowledge or consent. :
