I understand this game just went offline, but a friend tells me you can still race other players using some sort of link cable for direct competition, if this is true, how does it all work?

Could you explain what that means?

Local Area Network

Two consoles are linked and you can play multi-player on two non-split screens

It is important to not call Dreamcast system linking as "LAN" because it doesn't access a local area network. It should be referred to as VS CABLE play, or system link. It is a direct connection via a Dreamcast serial link VS Cable between two Dreamcasts.
