Got all this in a private e-mail:
This is all from a member of our local series who does some serious racing
and testing, who has an intimate relationship with Papy and IVGA.
Hope this info is all true; otherwise, I don't think he would have posted to
our series' mailing list.

Computer driving simulations are evolutionary; NASCAR 2 marked
significant strides in the genre, and NASCAR 3 will only be far
superior. I don't play NASCAR 1 anymore, as much as I liked it, because
it feels "dated" now. Now that I've got a spotter barking at me, I
can't drive without it (o.k., sometimes I can't drive with it, but I'm
improving).
God Bless,

What a bunch of crud this is!! While my opinion may not be the
same as most, I absolutely loved the game from day one. If you
want to know the details of how I felt at the time, you can read the
N2 review done for Sim Racing News.

Sounds good! Not sure what he means about Gp2 being "harder"
(presumably) than the likes of N2 or ICR2?? Anyone??
They "will" be given??? I thought it was already under way? Does he
mean from now? N3 should be given all the time necesary, but if that's
finished by Dec '97 it'll be a bonus. IMO
Neat, can't say Setups are my fave part of N2. :) Talk about a reason
to start learning. <G>
This could all be 100% true and may all have changed by release day...
It's good to hear though....

That's total bs. This isn't my fav sim, but it is still a great sim! ..and
I havn't heard one Papy employee or other tester complain about N2.

I agree that NASCAR 2 is awsome. I never had NASCAR 1 but
as soon as I downloaded and took a look at the N2 demo I knew
I had to have it. Since I got a T2 wheel and Screamin 3D card I
haven't done much else in my spare time except run N2 and ICR2.
Do you know of any general timeframe when N3 will be released?
Thanks
Rick
