L.A. Street Racing
Windows - 2007
Description of L.A. Street Racing
Description from the publisher:
Put prestige, pink slips and cold hard cash on the line. The finish line! Just make sure you get there first!
The night is yours, the streets are yours and that sucker's ride is going to be yours too, just as soon as the pedals drop and this show hits the road, literally. Just strap in, hold on and don't swallow your tongue, because there's no first and second place here, only winners and losers. Tracks on city streets are lit up with turns indicated by large glowing arrows. Avoid parked cars and other obstacles. Watch out, the hand brake is quite touchy and takes some getting used to, try using regular braking to slow your speed and avoid spinning out around corners. Good Luck!
Features:
- Race through the streets of L.A. while avoiding pedestrians, mailboxes, and parked cars
- Put your car on the line in a pink slip race or compete for cold hard cash
- Rip around corners by using the hand brake or take your time with regular stopping methods

I have been looking for this game for ages
I've played it when I was a kid
I loved it back then
It gives me so much nostalgia now.

I got "insufficient resources to create target connection", can anyone help me out?

Took me more than a week to complete because the races can get monotone, the same 2-3 layouts per district and always about 15 people to beat to rank up. Played the most of it with a controller, finishing the whole game on keyboard might be doable but harder I suppose

Saw this game on youtube in one of the videos. They recommended old games like this to play, and this one was among them. So I will give it a try later.

The US download has a disc image - easy to install and plays fine on Windows 10.
EU download is a bin file.

My guess is just the branding.
I'm from Europe and actually own this physically. The screenshots have the game show up as Overspeed, while dialogue is in German, so I'm guessing the EU version is called Overspeed, while the US version is called LA Street Racing, as the game's page on this site calls it.
