Nascar2 Track Pack

OK OK, I know everyone wants Indy and Daytona, and neither is looking particularily likely. But I'd like to know about some other tracks: Let's see, there are new tracks in Miami, Homestead, Texas, Gateway, California, Las Vegas. Now some of these are Indy, IRL and/or Trucks, but would still be nice. Is there a track pack in the works?

shooting through ***space: Well, I would guess that the Winston Cup tracks would find their way into a track pack, but the rest of them won't. I'd bet on Texas and California for sure, as well as an N2 patch included. No sense changing the formula.. <G> -- SimRacing Online Webmaster http://www.simracing.com/ Hawaii: IWCCCARS

How 'Bout including a ficticious 2.5 mile high-banked tri-oval to be used in place of Daytona - so it could filll the gap on the schedule for the first race and the July 4 race.It wouldn't have to be 'exactly' like Daytona, but simliar enough to keep us happy (rather than fill the gap with Talladega and race the same track 4 times during the season - which I don't think you can do in n2 - or can you?). And, for Indy, perhaps a track similar to Pocono, but in conventional oval form. Maybe they haven't done this because Nascar won't license the game if they use fictional courses - but, there are 'dream' courses in the PSX version. Just my thoughts, Tom

Just like N1, you can edit the calendar file with a text editor. (There is no User Interface provided in the game for it, but the format of the various text files that the user can customize is fairly well-known; people here on r.a.s. can doubtlessly lend you a hand.) ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus

Since I live in nowheresville I haven't gotten nascar2 yet. I was just wondering if papyrus included the provisional option and the chance that a person could miss a race because of not qualifying. Thanks for any reply. Cowen Wilson

Right. Let's just hope they (Papy) improve their track record on getting the patch out. I don't want to wait for it 'til new tracks are available.

For Indy, Sierra could buy the rights for the Homestead track and just add a mile to it in the Sim. Homstead is a 1.5 mile replica of IMS.

They could model the now-defuct Ontario Motor Speedway. It was identical to indy right down to the same degree of banking. I wouldn't think that anyone has the rights to that track anymore. they would have to be able to model the constant smog tho... -Al

now im not bn rude or nothing. but dont u guys think it would be better not to talk about it.i mean we have no idea whats going on btween papy and sega?. just asking and as an idea . just wait till aprl?

: I remember reading somewhere that you could "make" a Daytona track by : adding Talladega 2 more times on the schedule and rename it DIS, as for : Indy, I dont know, Dega and Daytona aint all that different.

> would have to be able to model the constant smog tho... > -Al Just make brown clouds....allready have white ones!!

I know you've been flamed for weeks on end, but could you at least attempt to use some sort of grammar? Perhaps with complete sentences, and whole, correctly spelled, words? Even if it's just to this newsgroup, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. -- Brian Fox The Fox Den: Nascar 1 and 2, ICR2, GP2 [link lost in import] [link lost in import] Stress - That confusion created when one's mind overrides the bodies basic desire to ***the living s**t out of some a**hole who desperately needs it.

If they added a mile to the track, it wouldn't be homestead. What would they do with the infield? Make it look like Homestead???or Indy??? -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..Photo Gallery...OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

Remember, some people who read and respond on this newsgroup aren't old enough to know how to spell and use proper grammar. They could also be from other countries and have difficulty with the English language. David Martin
