I recently talked with the manager of an Electronics Boutique and the word is that N99 will be released 10/15 and N3 will be out in January '99. I cant wait!! Johnie

FOr Confusion sake... IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT Nascar 1999 from Sierra Sports, PLEASE say "1999" as I know there is a sim called nascar99 from EA or somthing... cut out confusion about the name. Nascar1999 press release was supposedly going to be out for xmas, I wonder?? Nascar (3?) is farther off than that... and they are 2 diferent critters as far as I understand... that would hep me out... and help others know what you are talking about!

I have a question. With N2'99 due out this month, and N3(2000) due out "Sometime Soon", is it actualy worth it spend the money? I'm thinking from a TEN point of view. Will they update to N2'99, or just plain wait 'till N3 is out? With Papy/Sierra pushing to get N3 done right, but out soon....? See where I am going? Don't get me wrong. Chances are, I'll be one of the first in line to by N2'99 and N3 as soon as they hit the shelves. I'm just trying to come up with a viable excuse that I (and mostly the wife) can live with for spending that much money, on the same game, just updated versions, in so sort a period of time. She actualy just wants me to wait until N3 is out. BTW, are they going to keep with form and include everything thats in N2/N2'99? IE- The trucks? I know the tracks will be there, but will both BGN and CTS be there? Brett (TEN ID - Elrioch) "Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades, this aint either."

I think that unless you have a super fast system, you'll have to get N99 until you upgrade to a 450+ system. I haven't gotten GPL and don't plan to until I upgrade. People in the newsgroups are complaining about slow framerates with faster computers than mine, besides I doubt N3 will be out that early, I predict 3rd/4th quarter 99. I'll be playing N99 for a while, with new tracks, updated ones anf hopefully double file restarts as mentioned before in Papy's news release

We won't see nascar 2000 until Dec 1999....its called 2000 for a reason!!!

Fwiw, I'm running GPL on a 233 mmx system, with the Hercules Thriller 3d 8mb pci card. I have some textures turned off, mainly objects in the mirrors except cars and track, and skid marks, and clouds. The sim still looks beautiful, and I am having a blast with it. Frame rates from low to high 20's with a full field of cars., with a few 30's thrown in there. You don't have to have the latest and greatest to enjoy this sim. -- Don Burnette Palmetto Racing Dburn on Ten AOLL Iroc Series Administrator http://pages.southtech.net/palmetto/aoll.htm >I think that unless you have a super fast system, you'll have to get N99 >until you upgrade to a 450+ system.

Actualy it would have saved lots of confusion if Sierra would've just called em Nascar Racing II 1998 and left N2000 as Nascar Racing 3. For onr thing, as many people as I know had probs with Win95 and 98 I can see people being wary of anything with a year as part of it's name <G>. Ron
