Just another thought that you could do is to allow the players to 'set up' there care to be more for fast tracks or for curvey courses.

Since it seems that it will be mostly a text based game, just keep the graphics small and simple. You want the user to enjoy the game and not get frustrated with the slow speed of the game.

You can avoid heavy graphic loads and build a fairly good UI using CSS. It's even easier if you implement templating within your game (see Smarty Templating Engine).

what i want to do with the GUI is make it like the inside of a car - ie the dashboard and central console will be the navigation. Its really hard to explain, hopefully i can get a rough sketch up soon. I thought about having some flash components in the GUI, for sum cool effects.

Hi chensta, I'm watching this thread with interest as I am also planning a php game based on racing, but it's very different to yours. Keep us posted.
