...which I guess means I'm not too impressed. Didn't even think about it
all day Tuesday, and last night when I had time to drive I went straight
for the 'Ring as usual.

But then when you've got *** on your HD why bother with a little weed?
;-)

To be fair, the reviews I've read here amounted to "N2 + pretty graphics +
net multiplayer" so it's not as if I wasn't warned, but I thought I'd take
the risk seeing as I haven't bought any other racing software since GPL...
thought I'd be ready for a little light relief. Turns out I'm ready for
Nascar 4 <g>

Andrew McP... who won his first N3 race (at Bristol) starting from the
back... ok, AI was at 97 and I accidentally left damage off :-)

PS Apologies to anyone who also read this in the flight-sim ng. I'll be
receiving corrective training any moment now by the ng cross-posting
police. I've tried to plead innocence (though I'd settle for carelessness
and 100 hours community service) but I can already feel the baseball bat
of *** hovering around my kidneys.

Whilst I agree that things have taken a more evolutionary rather than
revolutionary change (a bit like Windows 95 and 98), there are still a
number of improvements which make Nascar 3 far superior to its
predecessors.

Support for force feedback is one of the most noticeable and enjoyable
elements of N3.

The new graphics, especial effects, sounds and 3D support make things
look and sound right, as well as feel right.

The new car physics are also a big improvement, with the car actually
gripping to the road, instead of oversteering all the time, and
feeling 'heavy', just as real Nascar's do.

Even the new manu layout, which follows on from GPL is an improvement.

Not forgetting the new tracks...

Well worth the money I paid for it!
