Maybe a stretch, but I have some Midtown Madness 2 questions

[Ben]

1) I'm having a LAN party with 10 people. I need to get past the dumb 8 player limit. Any ideas?

2) I'm having a LAN party with 10 people. I would like to run one box as a dedicated server. Any ideas?

I've been scouring the help files and the MM2 web site looking for info. Nothing yet.

Still no info.

This game sucks for multiplayer.
