Does it seem that in NASCAR 1999 the slightest bit of contact sends you spinning? It might be my setup or bad driving, but compared to NASCAR Revolution its seems that you can have contact without wrecking. Hopefully in N3/2000 they'll make the car's more stable, or at least an option for people with less skills to master the game. ck
Well not having ever raced real NASCARs, I cannot say for sure but it would seem to me that when all the cars are racing on the edge of their friction circle, the slightest movement could easily send a car spinning. I would be tempted to think that Nascar 2 has this modeled better than Revolution.

Try NR99's "Arcade" mode of driving. You won't get to qualify, but it might be eaiser to drive. Let me know, too, since I've never driven on Arcade. Gunner

Tried it, didn't like it. The car actually seemed slower...you couldn't spin the tires.

Your original post made it sound like you thought Realistic was too difficult, so I thought maybe you WANTED to dumb down the effects.... my misunderstanding... It's been my experience that the cars at least HANDLE like they should: NR99's problems tend to lie more in the AI than anything else I can find. I've had setups that spun me out in the corners without MY help (or so it seemed!), but using a different setup typically fixed that. Gunner
