Graphically it looks a bit like Race Driver, also by Codemasters.
Coincidence?

Course not - they're not going to write two graphics engines for racing
titles released within a few months of each other

ISI have used the same one since 2000 ( all be it tweaked )

I would find it hard to believe that from GPL to Nascar 4 wasnt a major
overhaul

I was thinking more like a candle dripped over them myself.  I really don't
like that effect. It seems to wash out a lot of the details, and makes it
look blurry for lack of a better word.

Probably because its done per vertex not per pixel.

Per pixel shaded reflections would be sharper and less intrusive and washed
out.

I think.

Actually, while there are some little code left from the original game
engine (Indy500 until N3/NL), Papyrus has *not* been using the graphic
engine.  In fact, they were 2 major overhauls during the years.
