Man, I've never had this much fun playing any racing game, including N1-N3,
ICR1&2, NFS1-5, NH, and GPL. I usually am way ahead or behind of everyone
else, or crashing. (In GPL just crashing). But I was just now racing at
Lowe's, 95% opponent strength. Qualify 1st, but lose about 3 or 4 positions
early. A few laps later, I take a turn too hard, and Tony Stewart and Bobby
Labonte team up and slip by under me. I follow for a few more laps, then
make a move, and pass em both going into the last turn, making it by Stewart
by inches, but then brush the wall, and Stewart slips by me, but I block
Labonte. I follow till near the end of the race, and with about 3 laps left
the leader comes close to a lapped car, and I start trying to pass Stewart.
I get by him once, but again brush the wall, and he comes back under me, but
so does Labonte. Ahh! I quickly floor it, and go side by side with Labonte
for a whole lap, and bump into him once or twice, but keep the car from
spinning. I pass him. White flag! I go after Stewart again, side by side
heading for the final turn of the race. I slam the pedal to the floor, and
my right side bumps into him, he slides up a few inches, then we both head
toward the finish line, bump again, and go spinning! I get turned around,
but in FRONT of Stewart, sliding backwards towards the finish with Stewarts
nose on my nose. As we slide to the finish, Labonte gets by us, but cross
the line before Gordon and Earnhardt can pass us. So I keep my position
while Tony and Bobby switched place. Phew. That was really really damn fun.
