 And yet another patch I have redone from scratch is finished.
 I saw a bug report for this game on EAB last night. It was mentioned
 that the protection in the game wasn't correctly disabled.
 Out of curiosity I checked the game code and quickly found quite
 a few checksum checks, one of these checks was quite sneaky as the
 blitter was used the calculate the checksum.
 I spotted it quite fast but it still is something not too common
 when it comes to checksum routines! There were quite a few other
 checksum checks too which the coder tried to hide. While I found
 all of them without even running the game once it was still quite
 entertaining as the coder obviously thought about the protection
 code and tried to make the crackers life harder.

 I then asked C-Fou! who made the old patch a long time ago
 (back in 2002 actually) if it would be OK for him if I would update
 the patch. He agreed and even sent me the old sources for the patch.
 And so I started the work on a completely new patch for this game.
 Was fun to do and not very hard so after a few hours everything was
 finished.

 Game code is quite good and so are the graphics, however, the game
 is much too hard and also gets boring quite fast so it's not really
 a good game in my opinion.

 The patch has a few extra options, these are:
 CUSTOM1=1: This will skip the intro
 CUSTOM2=1: Sets English language as default (instead of Italian)
 CUSTOM3=1: Enables trainer mode, if enabled your car won't be damaged
            anymore so no repairs are needed
 CUSTOM4=1: This will force the blitter wait patches also on 68000
            machines, normally they are skipped on 68000 machines

 That's all I guess, enjoy the fully working game from HD now.

 Special thanks and greetings to C-Fou! for letting me update his
 old patch and sending the old source!
