We all want to race at daytona,this might work! If someone made a
conversion utility to convert the old talladega track from nascar 1 to
nascar2. Then with the help of readme file ( from a coder ) on how we can
change the new talladega into daytona. I made a daytona track out of
talladega just to race 4 super speedways w\ nascar1,but i deleted it cause
it did'nt fool me enough, it still said talladega on the walls & it drove
the same. If we changed the name on the walls at new track to daytona, we
might think were at the superbowl of nascar. The 2 tracks look,drive&
handle different . " is this possible? "

While "possible," it would be extremely difficult. The 3D object formats
changed drastically between N1 and N2, making the conversion of N1
tracks (or ICR/ICR II tracks for that matter) very, very, very
difficult.

We didn't change the format for no good reason just to prevent this sort
of thing; there were underlying reasons to change the format to make the
graphics better, and we did it.

As for changing the track graphics within an N2 track, while it's not
trivial, it's nowhere near as hard as converting an older track. Alas,
no I can't tell you how to do it, but from what I've seen of other
readers in this newsgroup, someone is likely already working on it...

Please give this up guys. Daytona will be added in due time. Why in
heaven's name would you want to run NCR1 Talladega after getting a taste
of NCR2 Talladega. Gees, give it up.

Exactly if people keep posting thier Daytona knockoffs all over that
just screws up the chances of getting the real thing.

: I know someone who did the same thing and it wasnt too cool. the only
: difference is that the calender and track stats said DIS. In reality
: the real Daytona track is different, the banking isnt as steep,
: especially in the tri-oval, I played the sim at the Daytona USA
: exhibit at the track and it is considerablly different, especially turn
: 1, we will see the real track before too long, for now, grin and bear it
