actually, with lifeless i mean the lack of shadows on the tracks etc.
I also saw shots from watkins glen, and it looked much better imo in nt2003.

the only bad thing, (and it stinks) is the textures used for crowds.. are
they blind? it looks crap!

N2002 vs NT2003

It's really the MAIN reason I plan on getting Thunder. www.hcmotorsports.com
did an OUTSTANDING mod for NH that was CTS. Man, was it awesome!!! I still
try to fire it up every chance I get. They even modelled the black donut on
the doors from tires rubbing! Absolutely fantastic work.
Problem is, they've halted all work on NH for the NT2003 truck mod.  I'm
sure others here can give more details...
