Ahh, so Nascar 1999 is just an updated Nascar 2 ??? Icer
> Have been away, but I SWEAR I read about Nascar 3.... > G. Patricks From what I have heard, NASCAR 99 is a redo of NASCAR2, but it has some changes in tracks and a bit better graphics. Also, with it comes the truck series and their tracks. When NASCAR3 comes out, it will be all new, with a similar graphics and physics engine that it used in Grand Prix Legends. NASCAR 99 will be a great upgrade and a lot of fun, but the real deal comes out this spring, so get practicing that GPL, and get used to that physics engine, Bill D VVR

-icer- wrote : In a certain way... yes and no. Nascar Racing : 1999 Edition is a complete new title from the Papyrus Design Group/Sierra Sports that uses the Nascar2 game engine, not the one found in GPL. It has several new options such as double-file restars, Mid-race caution flags, Win95 versions and also a better 3dfx support than in nascar2. Also, you will now find that they added the Craftman Truck Series to the WinstonCup and Busch Grand National list of tracks. You got around 11new track (for a total of 34). New tracks include Louisville, Topeka, Portland, etc... who are all part of the Nascar truck series. Also, the trucks act "different" from the cars, with an actual different game engine for when you choose to race with the trucks, on any given Nascar tracks. Finally, you will find updates to the 2 other Nascar series tracks up to the 1998 season. Atlanta, Darlington, Las Vegas, Sears Points, etc.. are all modified to their current version. I think that resumes it ;) - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

So a BIG update, but an update nonetheless. NASCAR 3 is the one that will be built with the GPL physics model--is that correct? I had gotten confused about that too. N3 is a good update, but lots of drivers are missing--don't know why. And I'm especially baffled by this Chassis 1, 2, and 3 business. There's gotta be a patch for that as soon as possible. Strange doin's
