This race sounds familiar......circa 1994-95. More details?
Nah, can't remember much, but it definitely wasn't that late -- it might've even been as early as 1990.
I remember them starting like rockets, and the corners were really tight and the streets were very narrow. I'm pretty crap at corners, and I'm even "crapper" at accelerating out of them, so I got dropped pretty quick.
