TORCS can be compiled smoothly with Visual C++ 6.0.but you’ll get lots of compilation errors when trying to compile it with Visual Studio 2005(VC 8).here is the steps to resolve this issue:

  • change linker option for all projects from /NODEFAULTLIB:"LIBCD" to /NODEFAULTLIB:"LIBC".
  • add a new cpp file(for example, vs2008.cpp) to the client project with the following contents : 
    extern "C"
{
	int __mb_cur_max;
	int errno;
}
  • add /force:multiple linker option to the client project.
  • define M_PI in ac3dload.cpp,trackdata.cpp and osspec.h: 
    #ifndef M_PI
#define M_PI 3.14159267
#endif
  • fix errors in type-casting ,such as from sqrt(…) to sqrt((double)…)

you can download the compiled version of my robot and racing with me in TORCS:):
