I was looking at the new screenshots pasted at http://www.racesimcentral.net/ and it
may be my imagination (or wishfull thinking), but it sure looks like the GPL
graphics engine, and the setup screen lends itself to the physics engine,
more than the Nascar 3 engine.  I could be wrong, but it makes since.
Especially since papy could use only a couple of dozen cars (instead of 43)
and nobody would care.

Here's hoping,

Um, take it from someone who is playing NASCAR Legends. It's not the GPL
engine. It does not make sense.

Well, just look at the new screenshots. The in-car mirror has been
"changed" back to  the old mirror configuration. No more GPL full detail
mirror. I guess that in itself kills the thought that NL would use the
GPL engine.

I saw that also.  But they may be trying to find a way to squeeze more
performance out of the graphics.  It's the mirrors at full detail that suck
up alot of bandwidth.  Like I say I don't know for sure, but the graphics
are quite abit different from Nascar3.
