Yes, very rich colors and smooth polygon rendering. IMHO still one of the
best looking racing sim on the market, considering that the details aren't
as full as the new titles of today.
Hmm Sierra has a CART License until 2001 IIRC, so speculate on an upcomming
software in that timelapse.
They are classics. I would suggest to get Nascar Racing : 1999 Edition for
a choice between the 3 current Nascar Sims from Papyrus. It's a great
product, and has an incredible gameplay.

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise
how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."
Agreed. I've never been a Nascar fan, but I finally took the plunge and
bought N99. If you have an old sports game acting as coaster from EA Sports,
MS, Eidos, GT Interactive, or a couple of others, you can get a full
refund from Sierra if you find a box with the coupon (does anyone have an old
sports game that they want to send me so I can get the refund??!).
Why did I get it? Well, because I had a lot of fun with, err, EA's Nascar
Revolution demo! But (a) it isn't out and (b) I wanted one that was a better
sim. So far, I'm having fun running against 95% at oval races and 90% at
Watkins Glenn (hey, I'm new to Nascar).
Yes I do, but mainly do to haveing a lot of fun online racing at the zone.
Admittly the AI in CPR is poor even when you run Pro, but for online I
have really enjoyed the game. And unlike a majority of people I thought
most of the tracks are very accurate, tho I have oly actaully drove Road
America, Mid Ohio, and Portland.

Yep, ICR2 by Papyrus completely rocks compared to CPR, but what would
expect from a Microsoft product? I have yet to see one which does
not suck utterly and completely ;-) Ok, so it wasn't developed by them,
but somehow their name on the package brought that thing down
to their usual "quality standard". See Alison Hine's web site for a
good review of both products.
ICR2 is still the best CART sim around on the market, ok, it has a
a couple of bugs but otherwise is a very good product.

Just go to a local software store and buy an EA classic sports game
like Jack Nickelous 4 or something. Those game generally cost
oh around $5.99 now :-) Has anyone recieved their refund yet?
I sent mine around the end of November 98.
The game is cool. You can download the indytrack for the Brickyard 400.
That is a very tough track to race at (with all the traffic). I like to
practice
at all the tracks by running 10% races and start in the back of the field.
Then I adjust the AI until I can just barely make it to the front by the end
of the race. So far the brickyard is impossible. I have to go to a 20%
race :-) I also haven't run at the road courses much. But the game gets
really cool if you have a local friend and race against him with the modem.
In NR1999 you still need the DOS exe's though.

Seems they all don't suck.

They are all kinds of patches, workarounds, and flat out guesses as to
getting it to work with Rendition but they're so bizarre I haven't even
tried them. I can't believe someone would ship a product that doesn't even
work on current hardware and then have the guts to put "Rendition support"
right on the box!
IC2 is a total waste of money. Get CART or GPL. At least they work.
