> have raced and supported servers for all the Nascar SIMs and only one is
> in demand from people wanting to pay money for servers and that's Nascar
> Racing 2003 Season. By far it is the most complete SIM ever produced.
> Released in February of 2003 with an additional 3 physics released within
> the patch in September of 2003.

> Sim Racing Connection will direct you to all the resources you need
> http://simracingconnection.com/. Most server companies support many mods
> and FLOG http://flog.com supports 14 mods that included Craftmans Trucks,
> TransAm and Busch Grand National. The owners of the physics engine, who
> are all former Papyrus people, allowed Redline Developments
> http://www.redlinedevelopments.com/ to make a sports car racing SIM/MOD of
> the 1990 IMSA GTO/FIA Group season with four different physics. It is also
> supported with cheat detection through the VROC http://new.vroc.net/ race
> matching system which is also loaded when you install GTP. Download it

> Nascar Racing 2003 Season still has dozens if not hundreds of full leagues
> as it has the most complete features for league managers. Many SIMs have
> come out saying they where the next great thing but the formula that
> NR2003 has hit the nail on the head. With over 400 tracks it will take the
> new SIMs at least a year to catch up to NR2003 if then.

> No doubt there are other SIM coming that will someday displace NR2003, but
> if you want to have fun SIM racing with a SIM that is well support and
> with many still existing leagues, NR2003 is "still the one."

> rFactor http://rFactor.net is the heir apparent and there is allot of
> development being done by the MOD community that will someday bring it up
> to the quality of NR2003, but it ain't happened yet. NR2003 is the now and
> rFactor is the future.

> If you want to judge a SIMs popularity just look at the SIMs the game
> server leasing companies support. GTR and GTL are only a tiny blip on the
> radar compared to NR2003 and the future rFactor. That's because the
> knowledgeable league managers evaluate these SIM and give their members
> the best racing experience.
