N2002 just gets better and better

I've just been involved in the best online NASCAR race I've competed in. It was at Richmond as part of the Fast Food Racing League. The 160 lap race had everything including 6 yellows for 25 laps and a 103 lap green stint. The thing that really surprised us all was that the long green stint was stopped by the sim throwing out a yellow for debris on the track. None of us even knew this feature was included in the sim. It made for a fantastic race since the element of randomness at the end of a long green stint meant that some people had pitted just before the yellow came out, just like real life. Nice one Papy :) Phil --- Racesim Central Administrator http://www.racesimcentral.com

Virtually every race I've been in on the Papy open servers has a wreck on the pass lap (not caused be me I might add)

Remember, this was at RICHMOND! Best decision I ever made was to form this league - great bunch of lads, the highest standard of driving I've seen (certainly on this side of the pond), and no hassles, and here we are nearing the end of the second season. -- Colin ICQ 25485061 FFRL Triv: http://www.chbr18476.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ FFRL: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fastfood/ffrl/index.html

Just did 99 green laps at New Hampshire yesterday in the ESCORS NASS division... *phew* In the mad scramble for positions in the end, 2 yellow flags were out in the final 5 laps, but it was fun. Mikkel Racesim Central Administrator http://www.racesimcentral.com

Looking forward to seeing you racing with us again next week then, Ian! :) It wasn't a great race, it was fantastic. Loved that long green stint, especially as there was lot of passing going on. Couple of yellows in the end made the racing even more intense. This is racing how it should be really, and N2002 is so much more enjoyable in that respect than N4. - Greger

Oooohhh, sounds super guys! Colin - you must drop me a line when the third season is being planned - I need to get back in! :-) -- ed_ "Colin Harris" said: > It was an absolutely cracking race - the debris yellow was a nice touch, I > agree, but seven cars within 2 seconds of each other for the first 40-odd > laps was a sight to see, too.

As Phil says, the timezone's probably against you, though, starting as it is at 3 EST. You don't have to be super-nippy to join us, you just have to be confident in holding a car for really long stints, and you have to be a nice guy (it even says so in our rules!)
