All, I feel that the upcoming release of NASCAR 2, will not be "all" it's suppose to be. Meaning, wow, a couple of tracks revised, a different GUI interface, clouds and sun, different paintkit scheme, a different graphics engine, and a crew chief, BUT no change in setup options! That really is terrible. No change in the physics model. That really stinks. I feel it will just be a redone NASCAR, nothing special only for NRL, whoopee. ; ( I am already bored of NASCAR now. Anyways, I prefer Indycar2 over NASCAR, nowadays. I would like to see more setup options to add some realism. But I know it's not going to happen. ; ( I am willing to wait for it, if there is a change in the physics engine. No rush. But Papy has a deadline to meet. As for the, "Verite Rendition" chip, big deal! There is "only ONE" manufacturer that is going to use, ala Creative Labs. Wow, boy will there be a big support for this chip!! Number Nine "Dropped" the idea of using it!! Now who would you believe, a sound card manufacturer or a manufacturer that specializes in graphic cards?? Hmm..I wonder... BTW, the "Voodo" chipset, from what I have read, will be a whole lot better than the "verite" chipset. I really like the ET6000 and the Matrox boards, I just wonder how they will do when NASCAR 2 comes out. Hmm.. Don't even bring up Diamond, I have read too many bad things about them!! Arrghh!! Well just my thoughts..just lettiing you all know.. Oh yeah..GP2 rips.. take care..

So don't buy it. Vote with your money, companies respond to that. As for me, I'm pretty e***d about it. Just getting a decent frame rate all the time would be reason enough for me to buy it. Dave "davids" Sparks Late Nite League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html
