Is this correct? If so, can someone from Papyrus tell me why Australia
did'nt get the real graphics, and where can I get them from?

: From the magazine reviews I've seen of NASCAR and comments I've read
: here, it seems to me that US and UK versions of the game came with the

Oh, I can tell you (it's been a topic on Papyrus's BBS before) though I'm
not from Papyrus. It has to do with copyrights. Pure and simple. They
can't get the overseas copyrights to all those sponsors/teams.
The European version of the sim doesn't have the correct graphics
because the licensing of the images does not extend past US borders.
You can get 1995 car sets (including a European version which you'd
need) from http://www.xmission.com/~iwcc/iwcccars.htm.

I bought Nascar cheaply a few weeks ago and it had the fictional
drivers. However, it was the work of a couple of minutes to grab the
IWCCEURO 1995 car set and now I'm racing against Dale Earnhardt and
suchlike. :-)
