I tried the same trick to no avail....   :-( 
...and I hadn't even installed a beta patch. So it seems that
race.bin on my CD isn't the proper version. I live in Europe
so I suppose I might have a European version of the game. I
did try the supposedly European version of the patch (a rehacked
race.exe I found out about on Sierra Motorsports site), but
that one dumps me back to the desktop after the intro movie.

Sigh....
