Coca Cola Wall Of Speed - Is it Papy? N2?

by darre.. » Mon, 31 May 1999 04:00:00

I just finished reading an article of nascar's page about the coca
cola wall of speed simulator that was in c***te this week. It calls
it a "state of the art" simulator where you race against others
drivers. I'm just wondering if this was designed by papy or is it more
like the silicon motor speedway. Anyone know anything about it?

I went up there Friday night, and the line was closing up - but they did
have a big screen showing the action.  It was NASCAR Revolution, or at least
had a ton of EA logos on the walls and such.  Ugh.  Was hoping for a Silicon
Motor Speedway myself, or something from Papy.  It was pretty cool to have 8
actual cars on a banking and having to crawl in like a real car, but I
didn't get a chance to see the inside of 'em.

Several smaller trailers scattered about had driving sims, most were using
Daytona USA but I did see one running NASCAR Racing 99.

Wow, NASCAR Crapolution is now the sim for the Wall of Speed?  I know last
year it was Papy's N2. I guess they chose to downgrade.

        Well, maybe it's a better fit than you think <ducking flying
ashtrays>: You gotta agree NasRev's graphics are pretty cool.  The AI
may suck, but you don't need AI when you got 8 humans going at it...
Can't imagine there are any yellow flags in the Wall of Speed, so that
fiasco's not a concern.  Doubt there's time to pit, so THAT's not a
concern...
        I'm gonna stick my neck out and guess that most of the people
that would race this really don't CARE for that short period how TRULY
the race is being simulated - just how FUN is it?  Except for idiotic
AI and moron spotters (well, okay, the framerate...) and yellow flags,
it'd probably be a sound choice <ducking a bigger ashtray>.

Disclaimers:  I'm a diehard Nas99 fan, and have never seen a Wall of
Speed.  All opinions expressed are expressed as OPINIONS and should
