I re-read your first post. I did the same thing I did a few weeks ago
and started to shoot my mouth off before I read the whole thing. I
didn't send that post out to flame but to correct a misconception.
either way, I should have read the full post first, sorry.
My opinion, Buy the N3 and then buy the NL. with luck, in a couple
months or less, someone will write a converter from NASCAR X to GPL.
Then there will be more road tracks for GPL. As far as close
competition, Ovals will have closer competition no mater if it's from N3
or NL or even oval track GPL. There hasn't been as much information out
on the NL then there has about N3, so it's still too early to say which
will be best. I'd only assume that the exact same AI would be used in
N3 and NL. The only true differences would be the tracks used. But
then again, I don't have enough info of either Sim to be any help ;-)
