In order to run the SVGA version of NASCAR, there are two things necessary.
First of all, you have to have the CD-ROM version of the sim; the diskette
version contains only VGA. Assuming you have the CD-ROM version, you have to
start the sim with the "-h" option. i.e. "NASCAR -h". Hope this helps.

AFAIK, you have to specifically select SVGA mode. I think you type
NASCAR -n
(I just know you'll all let me know I'm wrong :-) )
From what I've heard, though, to get SVGA running smoothly, you need
a 500MHz, 686 :-)))

So the manual says. But when I do this, the machine crashes out with
some sort of error. The manual talks about loading VESA drivers.....I've
got a PCI card so.....???
Running on a P66 16Mb machine, with an Orchid Pro64 graphics card -
under OS/2 (VGA works fine, can't get anywhere under DOS with SVGA
either so I don't think OS/2 is to blame).
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers

The game defaults to VGA mode, unless the -h switch is present on the
command line.
