Now that N2002 has been released outside the U.S. and Eldred has his server
running and passworded, are we going to try and have a race this weekend?

Depending on when you run.....I'll join in.  We have rain out here this
weekend....cancelled some stuff we had planned, so I have some free time
coming up.  Let me know/I'll keep checking r.a.s. too.  I'd love to follow
Ed, Dave and Andre around Sears Point?

Sears would be great, love racing there. Still need some practice
though, after 5 laps my tires are -gone- :)

My first online race yesterday was actually surprisingly good, had
some good racing on coca cola with a bunch of guys, constant drafting
and three wide half of the time. There were a couple of morons on the
track but thankfully we could avoid them.

"Tom Pabst" :

Well if "they" hadn't screwed the track completely up I might have joined
in....  (well add to the fact that I cannot get hold of N2002 yet :-( )...
but I'm the Sears point we got in N4 (I assume N2002 isn't *that much*
different (although it is updated)) isn't very fitting for the sim.   Quite
frankly - it sucks...  I used to loved the old Sears Point in N2, but the
new layout of the track and the physics of N4, just make me motion sick..
The track might be a blast - just not in N4.

LOL!  I somehow think the same Ed.  Yes, I know the track now is like it is
in real-life, but I just prefer the old and less realistic layout there was
in N2, it was more difficult before they "Bristolised" Sears Point ;) :(

Actually, N2K2 Sears is the best of the bunch (for driving
accuracy)......except T7 is incorrect (Papy used an early mod config of it
that was never built)....and the stupid Media Building included in
N2K2...that was taken out in N3 because Sears tore it down.  And the
surrounding hills and trees coloring....what's new...Papy never does this
correct.  If I could find a mip/bmp converter that works on N2K2 mips....I'd
fix all this stuff and post it.  But so far....no dice.  But I agree with
all of you....the old N2 course with the original "sports car" config of the
carousel.....it was pretty fun (also pretty easy to drive which SPR is NOT).

As of two days ago.....Turn #1 has been completely changed (part of the new
construction separating the drag strip launch pad from the road
course)...you can see pics of this at the real-world Sears Point web site.
I'm going to be driving the "new" track in a few days....I'll give you guys
an update.

Making a track more realistic isn't what I would call screwing up..

I'll race with you guys too.  May I suggest that we all upload our car files
to a thread in the RSC NASCAR forum so we can all see each other's rides.

"They" does *not* refer to Papyrus, Andre... -  but to the owners/managers
of the track and NASCAR.

The old version - with the carousel and the drag-stip was miles better than
***they got now.

I received the game today... getting a personalized car is low on my list of
priorities. ;-)
