You think that's bad, what abour Nascar3 to _OCTOBER_ 2nd!!
It's a good thing I like GPL!

Oh well, by then the P3 1000 MHz machines will be out--which is what you'll
need to run Nascar 3 with a full field if they don't tone down the GPL
physics model.

Not nessecarally because all the chassis are going to be realitively similar in
N3. GPL has 7 distinct chassis types all with a different physics model (due
to weight, polar moment, etc.) Granted a P3 1000 would be nice (theres the
understatement of the year) but not to many people are going to have it. I am
in no way saying your wrong though. Nobody really knows what N3 will "want" in
terms of hardware. We only really know the minimum from GPL. Just my 2 cents
worth here.
Chris
The 1000 I thought was gonna be 2000/2001 area...which is about the same rate of
time for the CPU power increase from the 200->400.

Actually, GPL has one physics model with seven different sets of values
fed into the variables. It's completely up to Papy how they want to apply
this to N3. My guess is that they'll probably apply a bit of a fudge
factor by setting many of the values to be identical for the entire field.

No offense, but NASCAR is mostly circle tracks and all the cars sound the
same, like a symphony all using the same instrument. To me, there is NOTHING
like real road racing with Porsches, Pansoz, Vipers, BMW's, Audi, etc. And
when I used to go to the old IMSA races, there were so many different
sounding cars/engines - that it WAS like a real 50 piece symphony - TRUE
MUSIC to my ears!
And if you think watching a NASCAR race is exciting, just TRY and watch a
British Touring Car race! They make NASCAR drivers look like Boy Scouts. Way
more exciting!

LOL!!!
Ever read what J.Cleland thought of his first NASCAR experience?

Matt, PLEASE post what Cleland said (or E-Mail me it) - I am dying to hear
it!
And an interesting sidenote about circles - I was at Penske's new California
Speedway for the Indycar race. On Saturday they had another race with
formula type cars (Barber Pro or Indy Lites???). Some European driver won
it, and during his televised victory interview he BLASTED Super Speedways
(circle jerks) big time! I was loving EVERY minute of it! And as my company
had a hospitality suite there on the PITS side, watching this friggin race
got me dizzy! We'd all stand up for the race (on the roof deck), look to the
right, sweep our heads to the left as they went by, then IMMEDIATELY swung
around to watch the Big Screen behind us to see what was happening in the
back stretches, then turn our bodies around to see the cars come by again!
After a half hour of that CRAP, I left! And even though I had FREE PASSES
for the Sunday Indycar Race, I stayed home and watched my BTCC videos! I
HATE CIRCLE TRACKS!!!!!! And I definitely HATE where ALL the cars sound
alike! Give me Euro Road Racing, IMSA, SCCA Trans Am or Can Am, F1, or World
Rally Cup ANY day over NASCAR or INDY!!!!!! UGH!!!!
