You're right! It should definately be something you could assign to a wheel button, or a key on the keyboard. My Bro in Law just got back from COMDEX in Vegas, and he said the teaser for N2000 was stunning. He said he sat and watched the demo tape (which was all 3D, as if taken from replays on a 3dfx system) a dozen times. This from someone who isn't a Nascar fan, and doesn't like racing sims. He told me about it because he knows I'm a fanatic. I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

The one thing that concerns me with Nascar 2000, going by GPL, is the need for tons of CPU horsepower to run it effectively. I'm afraid to even consider up grading my P166mmx Voodoo 2 12 meg to a PII 400 until I can be sure it will cut the cheese. As it stands in GPL it's the AI physics engine that is killing the CPU. N2000 will have double the AI field racing. I would sooner have the "players" car with the GPL physics but a lesser AI physics engine in order keep save on CPU. At the end of the day N2000 sounds like it gonna be killer sim. - Redline Race Controls Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand
