I just wanted to get some people's thoughts about this sim. I saw it in
Walmart for $12.99 and I was wondering if it was worth buying. I have
NASCAR 1 and 2 and I love them.

Let me know,

        Well, if I remember, the sim is non-vesa resolution, and is 2 player modem
no network.  This was developed before NASCAR 1, I believe.

        Pulling out the manual, the circuits include:

Grand Prix of Long Beach,
Michigan International Speedway
The Milwaukee Mile
Laguna Seca Raceway
Nazareth Speedway
New Hampshire International Speedway
Portland International Raceway
Exhibition Place, Toronto

        I believe IMS (and others) were available in a couple of expansion packs.
I see posts all the time of people wanting the Indy one to translate into
ICR2 and Nascar.

        The program's manuals has a copyright date of 1993.

        Reading the installation guide, it required a 386 25 Mhz minimum, and 12.5
Mb of hard disk, with a VGA color monitor.

        Recommended hardwayre is a 486 33mhz, local bus video, and a sound card.

        If I remember correctly, the program wanted a word entered from the manual
to run (I believe there is a program to bypass the manual check I use to
use.) Glad ICR2 does not have a check like that.

Overall, a good program, if a little dated.
Never tried NASCAR, so I can't compare.

A bit old, but FWIW, Best Buy has it (all tracks -less Indy) for $4.99...
