Best Nascar sim?

It's been such a time long since I've used this newsgroup properly. Back in the days when I was a frequent visitor, Nascar Racing 3 was the top Nascar sim, but we were all waiting with much anticipation for the followup. And of course GPL was the mighty king! (has that changed at all?) But just by browsing some of todays subject I can see that there are a few new Nascar sims I wasn't aware of. Which is best, and most importantly 'why'?

Which is best, and most > importantly 'why'? The best NASCAR sim at the moment is NASCAR Racing 2002 Season by Papyrus. It uses a modified form of the GPL engine and offers the most complete racing experience. It is difficult to say exactly why it is the best. Once you have raced with it you realise it just feels right. Online racing is a particular strength with large fields handled very well. The tyre wear model feels very good and provides a large strategic element to the sim provided you join races which are long enough and have few yellow flags.

(has that changed at all?)<snip> Not really. Live For Speed is liked by most of us (though it's only really a demo, it's a pretty well-featured one), and Racing Legends (what emerged from the wreckage of WSC) could be awesome if it ever gets finished (though likely to be *very* expensive - as much as a wheel, at least). But most people who played GPL still do, and most (DGF excepted, natch <g>) still rate it above anything else unless they're hardcore NASCAR fans. -- Idiotic deep-linking restrictions: http://www.dontlink.com (not my site) The GPL Scrapyard: http://www.btinternet.com/~gplscrapyard (this *is* my site: deep-linking welcome!)

With all it's problems (such as brain-dead AI), Papy still leads the pack. -Larry "adamchehata" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Those are not Nacar SIMS, but I suspect everyone noticed that. Not that LFS isn't awesome. It is, and it's a guaranteed sale to me when it ships. I would like to have Wyle-E-Cayote's arms removed from my in-car though :) -Larry "David Buttery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
