Not a close call: Nascar 3. Unless you enjoy throwing money down the
toilet, stay away from Nascar Revolution products. N3 has simpler modes
for those not all that experienced, and probably the best way to go at
them is to turn down the opponent strength to something like 95%. You
can keep races short, avoid pit stops, customize the game in almost any
way. You'll also get an automatic connection to "wonswap," from which
you can download setups. You should also know about www.theuspits.com,
where you can find everything you'll need and a lot you won't know what
to do with.
BUT: you'll enjoy the game much, much more if you put in some consistent
practice, try to get the hang of it, and bump up the opponent strength.
Don't expect to win every race, which would be like scoring on every
play in an NFL game--it doesn't happen. This is a game that rewards
application, patience, consistency, good sense. As they say on the
circuit, it isn't how fast you go, it's how high you finish.
