Some thoughts on Nascar Legends

I really like the game. It offers some different challenges: the grip on
those car is different, I have to re-learn how to run at some familiar
tracks (like Michigan) and the pit strategy is totally different. The AI
cars are very aggressive. I got bumped a couple of times, moreso than in
N3. The AI bump into each other a lot too: in a race at Bristol, after
50 laps, we had 6 cautions and all of them caused by the AI drivers.

I play without the spotter (as in 1970 there wasn't one) and it's even
more difficult!

One problem: the AI is sometime dumb. At Alabama, after pit stop under
green, a train of 6 cars was going around the track at pace speed. Of
course, another car hit one of the cars in the train and kaboum...

At Bristol, we kept having yellow flags just after the restarts. For
some reason, as soon as the green flag drop, some of the car stopped and
got sideways and the caution came out again. Anyone else had the same
problem?

Also, I'm running a full season and there's only 26 races. I though
there was more races than that on the original schedule.

All in all, a great game. I'm having a blast. And it's different enough
from N3 to provide a enjoyable and different experience.
