I also sank quite a lot of time into Episode I Racer when I was a lad. I cheated so much in that game, though, back when I was into not having a challenge. I picked it up again a couple years back during my "break-out-the-N64-and-beat-all-my-games-again" streak and got stuck on Racer. Those duo-level races in the Cloud City levels always kicked my ass, but it was still a blast with a huge variety of racers.
God yes that two tiered track in the clouds gave me post truamatic stress disorder. You had to do 3 perfect laps just to beat it, not to get a great lap time, just to beat it... on a track barely wider than your pod. If you fell through to the 2nd tier on the third lap it was mental breakdown time ;-)
