N4 & road tracks - Poor man's WSC or nobody home?

by Jchar » Sun, 11 Mar 2001 08:35:09

Hey all,

I haven't picked up N4 yet but am starting to consider it after all these
raves.  I was really into GPL, but now only occasionally race online.  WSC
can't come soon enuogh as far as I'm concerned.  Here's my question.  I know
that Nascar races on 2 road tracks and wonder if anybody actually races
these online.  With the improved physics it could almost be like a poor
man's WSC.  Are there any more road tracks available for N4 as well?

I tend to race late at night and I remember the only open races with N3 were
usually at Talledega and never on a road course.  If it's still like that
than I probably wouldn't buy it and just stay with GPL and pray for early
release for WSC.

Thanks in Advance

  Yup, N3, N4 AND Nascar Heat see very little road racing.  I might point
you
to the tptcc league at the uspits.com.  They race a patched N3 still but use
many differnt tracks like the Oring and the OLD Glen.  If road racing is
your forte...these guys run both
offline and a weekly online league.  I'm sure they also will eventually
migrate to N4.

I think with the warping,over-stated reaction to nudging,and eratic
driver's, the road courses of N-4 would be more pain than pleasure
online.......
Just my Opinion

    Have Red Rocks and Bull Run been ported over to N4?  I
am passable on the Glen but Sear's Point is a very exhausting
track to drive since there isn't any sort of long straight where
you can relax for a moment.  I liked RR and LOVED Bull Run.
