I think they must have reviewed a different game to the Nascar 3 everyone
play's and raves on about, or maybe they tried playing it on an old 386 sx ?

In case you haven't read the review, here's a few choice quotes:
American stock car simulation on the market..."<<
powerful new 3D sound engine..."<<
There are a few comparisons to GPL, but, only in the sense that "this is how
they did it in N3, but, if they'd used the GPL engine, they could've done
this...."
N3 is a kick-ass ride!!

I haven't read the Nascar3 review myself yet but I think they are not to fond
of NASCAR-racing in general and probably not too e***d over an old game
engine.

They're not. All they did was moan about how Nascar makes you turn
left all the time, and never right. Obviously they haven't noticed the
other non-oval tracks, including the Glen.
