Can someone tell me what exactly the 1.2 patch does before I download it.
The file is over a meg in size and that's pretty big for your average
patch. Also, if I use the 1.2 patch, will I have to go back and download
the 1.1 patch? You can reply via private e-mail or post it here. I am
sure there are others who would like to know what it does.

Thanks,

Keith

Anyone interested in seeing what the patch does before downloading can check
out the HTML version of the patch README file at:

It fixes several AI bugs in the program, like the fact that if the
player gets the pole, the cars won't race properly. They've also
fixed up the damage (it is easier to break the car now) to more realistic
levels, drafting has been improved... Also, the caution speeds are
different for the different tracks now (slow cautions on short ovals,
faster ones on the superspeedways).

No, you don't need to d/l the 1.1 patch first. It will patch from
either 1.0 or 1.1 to 1.2. (at least I _think_ the readme said that;
I had 1.1 so it didn't matter to me)

Yes, the README did say that the 1.2 patch will patch both 1.0 and 1.1 of
NASCAR.
