The Mac Observer's Just A Peek examines Total Immersion Racing in the fourth and final article in a series focusing on Feral Interactive titles. TIR gives players the chance to hop behind the wheel of some of the world's most powerful sports cars and put them through their paces with a variety of tracks and game styles.

From the review:

The choices are many in TIR; cars, tracks, racing options are all selectable, and in some modes you can make minor customizations to your car, get contract offers, and even get a manager. Want to see how you handle a BMW M3 on a rain slick hairpin at Rockingham? Want to check out your night driving skills at Monoco in an Audi R8? You got it!

You have complete control over how you view the action, and how much control you want the computer to have over your car. If shifting gears is traumatic for you then choose an automatic transmission. If you prefer traction control, select it, or see how well you can maintain control in an aggressive turn. You can select it all.

Each track presents its own set of challenges, which are handled differently depending on the car you're driving and the road conditions. Getting the best times is not easy as other cars, computer controlled, vie to keep you from grabbing the winner's trophy.
