grand national - sure you all know it :-)

what is the difference between the normal nascar 2003 and the grand national MOD? tx in advance

My personal favorite way to play NR2003 is the BGN cars on short tracks like Mesa Marin, Nashville, and Thompson. Dang I might have to put Never Winter Nights aside tonight and dust off the wheel.

No more grip, but theoretically, it should rotate (corner) better around a shorter wheel base (especially since the consensus among the online aliens I know now is to make the cars turn off the right rear instead of the right front). And if real world characteristics are factored in at all, shorter wheel based cars typically ride firmer/rougher, which means you may have to use a softer suspension setup than you normally would, but I don't know if the sim's physics are that accurate or if the wheelbase is shorter enough to even notice outside of real life.

They are also lighter, which does help the handling.

Not anymore. They are the same weight now, just a shorter wheelbase and about 100 or so less horsepower. New weight rules. Ed --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.653 / Virus Database: 418 - Release Date: 4/6/2004

See, can't even keep up with everything anymore. I had *thought* their weight was the same now, but when someone else chimned in that they were still lighter, I thought it was so and I had guessed wrong. BUT, what year and specs are the NBS MOD cars in the sim based on? That's the question.

The Grand National mod cars are 100 lbs. lighter than the Cup cars in NR 2003. "SimRacer" <nospam@[email hidden]> wrote in message news:icVcc.2185$[email hidden]... > > BUT, what year and specs are the NBS MOD cars in the sim based on? That's > the question. > >
