I have been reading some of the posts here recently and now that I also
have the Nascar game I have some questions.
I have a Micron P90 PowerStation with a Diamond Stealth 64 PCI card with
2 megs of dram and I expected the graphics to be better. Even when many of
the graphics options are on auto or off the cars still appear more like a
bunch of squares at certain angles rather than cars. Is there a way to
tweek this?
Aren't the cars supposed to look more like in the manuel?
Any suggestions would be great, Thanks

make sure you have the maximum frame rate turned to about the same
value of minimum frame rate when you use Auto detai - otherwise it will
always drop detail to get the frames.
I run a very similar machine to yours (p90 with Number9 GXE), and get
decent SVGA at 15fps with no raod/grass/object texture. I do have full
sponsor labels on the cars, and I have 8 cars drawn ahead, 2 behind,
3 heard. I still play most of the time in VGA - it is much smoother and
more fun to race. SVGA will remain for show only until we all get
200mhz PC's with 128-bit graphics bus and hardware 3-D polygon
DSP's that boost game-graphics ;-)

Not sure if your problem is similar to mine, but I am running on a 486/66 8M RAM with
only 1MB RAM video SVGA.
At first, my graphics were awful until I saw in the manual to use nascar -h to get
the SVGA graphics. This made them much better.
Now if I could only drive the thing. Keep bumping into walls, etc.
Happy Racing,
