Well, I UNfortunately wont get nascar2 till christmas, but Im thinking
itll be good from all the talk. But, I have a few questions for anyone
listening:

1. Are the graphics such as cars as good as Nascar the original? I saw
the box for N2, and it seemed pretty cheesy.... Anyone?

2. Do the car makes look how they should? As in does a Pontiac look like
a Pontiac, and a Ford like a Ford?

3. Is Nascar2 as easy to learn as Nascar1?

4. How good is Taladega now anyway?

Any intyeresting facts are appreciated.

The graphics are great!
The cars look like the real things.  In fact you can actually tell that a
Pontiac is following you in the mirror - pretty cool.
Easier.  The physics are not as loose and product more predictable setups.
However, the computer cars are more competitive at most tracks.  Prepare to
battle to stay on the lead lap at Dover at 100% stength settings - and that
is with a good setup and lots of seat time.  It is pretty fun though - an
entirely new challenge - just trying to stay competitive.

The track is good - the AI is horrible.  The cars will NOT run two wide.  I
always tweak the AI by modifying the files that contain the AI car's lines
(like I did in the Talladega AI patch for NASCAR Racing 1).  I can't seem
to get the cars to stay 2 wide in the new version - but I will keep trying.
