Was surprised to see EB mention a NASCAR2 TRACK PACK on upcoming
releases. (Due date 1 May 97) Hmmm, wonder what tracks might be in
there? Texas very likely, maybe the late 97 season new Atlanta
configuration. A pack for just two tracks seems a bit thin though.
Anyone know if Sega ***ping of Daytona's good name is over by May?

Hopefully they'll have both California and Texas. MAYBE a "Busch Track
Pack" with the Busch tracks such as Milwaukee, Hickory, etc. that the
WC cars don't run but that it'd be cool to run anyway (hey, the name
is NASCAR racing, not Winston Cup racing)

I'm not sure if Papyrus would bother to re-release Darlington with the
start/finish line on the opposite straightaway. Ditto for Atlanta.
Particularly since NASCAR 2 was based on the 1996 season.
Las Vegas? Although the Super Trucks and BGN cars (I think) are
planning to run there, the Winston Cuppers don't even have that track
on the 1997 schedule. Although the sim can be tuned to run a Super
Truck or BGN series, support from Papyrus seems to be strictly for the
WC series and the track on the WC schedule.
I'd like to see California and/or Texas as much as the next guy, but
echoing another post in this same thread, Papyrus can't really create
a realistic interpretation of either of them until they talk to the
drivers after they've run on the two new tracks.
Besides, I think this whole Track Pack thing is a misunderstanding.
The person who saw it (IF they saw it) in some form of EB promotional
material probably saw the NASCAR 1 Track Pack.
I would like to see some new tracks, though.

If we see an Indy track that "could" only mean that we won't see any
more CART based sims from Papyrus, only IRL based.
Of course with Sony suposedly having a exclusive licensing agreement
with CART...

Now wait a minute...are you saying that Sega actually DIDN'T get the
rights to Daytona for 3 more
years, as was previously reported here? What is your source on that?

BTW, this suggestion has already been submitted to Papyrus. You may
want to voice your support for it in N3, now.

Just wink if there really is a track pack comming out in May.
