I Just bought this sim at Compusa for $20. This is my first experience with the Thunder series and I was wondering what everyone thought about it. I'm pretty much dedicated to Papyrus and I'm still feeling my way around EA's 2004. What is the on-line racing like? Is it worth the trouble? Are there sites with cars and setups besides Bhmotorsports? Also what about any available mods? Considering what people have come up with in EA's F1 series (GTR, etc, etc) I assumed there would be quite bit out there for the Nascar series but have'nt been able to find very much yet. Thanks, Timmy

I have the game. In some respects, I like the graphical elements better than N2K3. I remember when I first got it, looking into the multiplayer aspects: there wasn't a lot of action -- and I can't even remember now what the method was to join games -- was it through GameSpy? It suffers the same problem as the F1 series of games: noticable pauses when players join, and the netcode is much less efficient than the Papy stuff. I still drive NT2004 just to give me some variety when I'm learning or practicing tracks. There are a few people here who have the game and like it. Perhaps they'll chime in as well. -- Darryl
