How soon till the new Papyrus Trackpack?

by Planke » Wed, 08 Oct 1997 04:00:00

here is what Sierra told me when I asked them about the BGN track pack

:"BGN series should release very soon. ( I can't give an exact date for
:legal reasons, but start looking for it).
:<cut>
:As far as I know Sierra's Papyrus design group will continue the  :Nascar
:series.  EA Sports only has the rights for Console games.    :(playstation,
:64, etc.)
:We usually update the tracks each iteration of the game.  I know that
:tracks are added in the BGN series, but whether the original tracks :are
:altered, I cannot say.  For example, in the first Nascar  Talladega did
:not have the pit-road concrete strip, but it is there in Nascar 2.
:We're usually pretty good about keeping up with the actual tracks.

Does that mean we can expect the 'new' Atlanta and flipped Darlington?

I'd bet on*** Trickle to win a race before I'd bet on the track pack
containing the "new" Atlanta and a flipped Darlington.

LOL ... yeah, the new Atlanta is not just a renamed C***te, as some
have said... it has much more banking, and according to Bill Elliot,
after testing there, you can run wide open all the way around. Of
course, that was by himself.
  At any rate, don't be too critical, if these new configs aren't in
there, as both changes may have happened a little too late :) these guys
are working hard enough to get out the ones they can, I'm sure.

Well, since*** has already won over 1000 races in his career, you
might want to consider placing that Atlanta/Darlington bet now... :-)

I was playing off the commercial that is running right now with***
Trickle saying you could win a trip to the Napa auto parts sponsored race.
He also says to bet on him to win, while the screen flashes a 0-243 in WC
on the screen.

Not really.   All I was looking for was someone with an informed ship
date, not pessimism at it's greatest, but thanks for the reply
nonetheless!
