I thought that Nascar 4 was supposed to be the first racer that supported
Hardware 3D accelerator based Transformation and Lighting for cards like the
Geforce 2 and Radeon, thereby giving a major boost in frame rate for slower
machines. Supposedly, a Geforce 2 can do T&L faster than the fastest P3 can in
software.
Has anyone heard anything concerning this or future games supporting this?

  I don't think T&L will help low end systems.  IT will help, but if you
have a pig of a cpu, no amount of vidcard magic will help.

Make sure you disable vsynch in OpenGl tab, should get rid of the
flickering.
And yes, N4 takes advantage of Nvidia's hardware T & L, and I'm sure we'll
see more games developed that utilize it as well.
