Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me in it's worth buying
IndyCar2? I love playing Nascar2 and thought that maybe Indy id the
same. The only thing that kinda' scares me are the road courses. I have
yet to finish one in Nascar2. But I'm sure with a little practise I
might get buy. Is indyCar2 Much easier to drive with a T2 or a joystick?
Just asking before I go and blow my money on something I'm not going to
play:)
Thanks,
Matt

If you enjoy racing and especially if you follow any of the CART races,
I would say go for it. Indycar2 will require a different approach to
driving. The cars are alot "lighter" and won't take the "man handling"
the NASCAR2 cars will. There are enough ovals to keep you happy. I
personally feel that the road courses are easier in Indycar than NASCAR.
But to be truthful, the road courses in NASCAR2 are modelled better than
ICR2. But what would you suspect, since NASCAR2 is based on a new
engine design.
Some people can do just fine with a joystick. My hats off to them, but
the only way I have been able to drive is with a steering wheel/pedal
combo. I highly suggest one for Indycar.
If you do go for Indycar2, make sure you get the needed patches at
Sierra's web site. I highly doubt that they have re-mastered the CD's
to include the fixes.
If you are really serious about NASCAR2 and want to get Indycar, I would
recommend purchasing either the Intergraph Intense 100 or Sierra's
Screaming 3D accelerator video cards. Both come bundled with a DOS
version of Indycar2. The graphics and frame rate will greatly enhance
the control and sensation of both sims. I think the Intergraph is $169
plus postage and I have heard of similar prices for Sierra's card at
some of the big discount chains.

Matt,
In one word, just plain and simple: yes. The additions and features
(i.e. paintkit, authentic tracks, possibility to add Indianapolis) are
way too cool to pass up. It really is especially fun if you're a CART
fan. The road courses you mentioned are scary at first, especially
Mid-Ohio with its blind curves. But, yes, with practice you will do
good.

etc. etc.....
I'm a NASCAR fan.... I enjoyed NASCAR1 and bought the Intergraph Intense3D
to be able to use the features..... ICR2 is WAY better than NASCAR2....
I really wish they would have done N2 the same way they did ICR2, but.....
anyway, it is fun...
If you can, get the converter for the N1 tracks... I've been playing at
Pocono and Tally with ICR2....

If your a diehard Nascar fanantic then I'm sure you would become a CART
fanatic also and
with the increased speed ICR2 gives you, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The
road courses take
alot of practice to master, but once your rockin' at one you'll start to
get the "feel"
of the car in general and that makes it easier to progress at the
others.
If you do get it make sure that you get the updates at "The Pits" or
whatever site may have them.
Also if you got the cash go ahead and get the Intergraph Reactor. Its
around 160.00 bucks but
I believe it comes with ICR2 and thats about a $45 value(so in other
words your getting the 3D card for close to a hundred bucks!!)! Have
fun!
