Just to get a slightly different perspective on the game, as we UK chaps can't get it here
yet.

Don't know but surely it can't be as bad as Nascar Heat - even N2002 is
better than Nascar Heat.

Things like Yellow Flags not working right and glitchy AI really
destroyed the experience for most people, but Ed made the situation
worse by maknig promises he couldn't deliver.  The multiplayer seemed
horrible at the time it came out, but in retrospect it's miles ahead
of anything ISI has delivered.

The car handling and track modelling are second only to GPL/N4/N2002
imho.  I was a huge Viper Racing fan when Heat came out and the
handling model seems to have been a positive evolutionary step up from
that.  I prefer VR because of the cars/tracks/career mode but Heat is
still a heck of a game.  Thinking I may reinstall it tonight to put
some laps at the Glen in.

The best thing(s) about heat are all the mods. It's a dozen games in one if
you install a few, and there are some very enjoyable mods out there.  This
is one thing which I remain hopeful for NT, that mods may nullify some of
the reported bad points.  Heat is also good if you race in a league that
doesn't use yellows :-)

Hi guys,

the ESRL is planning an online endurance race in January 2002. This race
will be for teams. Each team has two drivers and each driver will run one
segment. I have put together some stuff and have posted it here:

Any mods you recommend Dave?  I tried the IRL/CART mods back when the
game was first being modified and I wasn't that impressed.  If there
is something that handles as well as the original game or the Vipers
in VR I'd definitely be up for it.
