Is there a Nascar Racing Season 2002 patch coming?

Now I am NOT knocking the game as N2002 is truely a masterpiece and a
wonderful game to play. However, like many of you, I to am having
problems with the dreaded frame rate issues. My system:

P4 1.7ghz
512 RDRAM PC 800
Windows ME
VisionTek Geforce 3 (not the Ti brand)-using 27.42 drivers. I did try
many others as well.
IBM DeskStar 75 gig HD
19" NEC FE950+ Multisync monitor
...........and so on..........

My FPS.....25-35 depending what res. I am running. I am running in
openGL at 1152x864x16. This is with all the tweaks on in the core &
rend_ogl files. Also the a-filtering is turned off in the game as well
in player rend_ogl file. Believe me I have everything to ensure proper
FPS. In Nascar Racing 4 I was getting 45-65 FPS with same settings, so
as you all can see, something isn't right. I did read on this site
that Papy may come out with a patch for this. Is there anyone out
there that has a clue if this is true or not? Thanks in
advance..........later.......vulcan.

---------------snip-------------
so.....

I suppose you have disablet Vsync from the Detonators? I have Xp 1600 + Gf3
ti-200, with the 23.12 drivers. Opengl - 1024 - 32 bit, most of the eye
candy on, the fps are 35 - 80 or something. That 35 comes from the end of
the full field of ai cars. With the same settings in D3d,  my fps's are like
19, when i am alone on the track! :)
My guess is that the problem is with the drivers....

I guess this could be a problem with the game, but it seems more likely that
you need to do some tweaking.  I run a P4 1.3 with 256 PC 800 RAM, along
with a GeForce 3 ti200 and am getting 100fps in practice and a steady
50-40fps at start up, all cars.  This is with all options at high, except
for the mirror, which is at medium, and 2x FSAA, running 1024x768x16.  I am
running the 23.11 drivers.
