Just checked out the latest Mpeg of Nascar Heat http://www.racesimcentral.net/
and there is some excellent footage from the***pit going around Watkins Glen.  
Moving POV!  Not as extreme as N4, but very close IMO.  This may be a pleasant
surprise :)

Wow, I was *very* impressed with the vid. I was going to skip it and wait for
N4, but my compulsive purchasing nature won't be able to resist. Whoever made
this mov just sold a copy that may not have been purchased!

Loved the roar of the V8 too, reminds me of my ex-1970 classic, and boy, hasn't
The Glan changed ;)

Cheers,
Rod.

Check out this review on Heat too...

http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Looks like Heat is everything N3 should of been, and N4 might be, if not
more... given the extra modes.  I'm very anxious to get my hands on both
releases to see how the driving models differ.

Yeah NH looks nice, the graphics certainly are sweet.  Wonder what mode that driver
was in... I could be wrong bu he seemed to be braking real late...

Whats recommended systems specs for NH?

I agree, I was stunned by the Video, excellent trees, excellent track
design, excellent textures, excellent sound, subtle POV movement.
Combined with this movie and the multiple previews on
http://www.racesimcentral.net/'t decide which I'm more
e***d for, NH or N4.

I noticed that the lighting in and around the car is dynamic, but the shadows
seem to be static.  I'm wondering why they would model one without the other...

Hello etcher.

 Yes! Every screenshots are indicating just 16 cars in the field,
so I really worried about that. Initially, I was thinking to skip NH,
but it looks like havving value.

Thanks nice info.
