If so, what are the impressions? Worth going to buy Nascar Heat to run it?
(I have N4 and am quite satisfied with it, so only CART heat will send me
off to by NH).

TIA,

Dave

  Well here is another question rather than an answer.
Do you have F1CS2k or F12k?  An entirely separate group
will be releasing a CART 2000 demo in 6 days.   This is a patched
version of F1 with new carshapes and physics....
  So if you have that...you can wait and check out the demo.

  Now back to your original question...IF you are a CART Champcar fan..
then YES!  Cart Heat is well worth the cost of NH.  But...if you are just a
casual fan...then I'd think twice...Currently the demo has the year 2000
cars
with a 2nd attempt at CART physics...(a 3rd version is due today or tomorrow
I think)
The cars look great...you can't imagine the fun of running a mile & half
track like Texas and NOT having to worry about the line into the
corners...get down on the white stripe
and stay there..hehehe
  Is it realistic..??  Hard to say...remember they are patching a Nascar
game..but the
managed to squeeze a 6 speed gearbox in there, and new sounds and***pits.
You can bump tires...even though they "LOOK" exposed, they are still
protected by the
invisible fenders.  Online has a large spurt of users but they have backed
off some...
still a fair group can be found to race with..one bug that has been fixed
was the cars
pitting...your pit crew would throw the car 30 feet up into the air and it
would barrel roll
several times...then land..and the crew would finish the pitstop...
  Even with only two road courses, I will say right now...that CART Heat is
the best
Cart product available today...Goodnight ICR2.(and I may change my mind when
CART 2k is released)

I just tried it and it is 80%, the physics feel pretty good ,  the engine
sounds pretty close, all in all a great add on , it will be great when done
I presume.
I have N4 and heat and like them both.
