I've only had Nascar3 for about 24 hours, but one thing I have notice is when I get close and right behind a car the car I'm following seems to get a case of the jitters. All other cars seem normal and it doesn't seen to effect frame rate it just doesn't look right. anyone else notice this?? Kris

I have also seen the AI just yank the car over in front of me to block into a turn. I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

Yup. I thinkwhat you're seeing is your car taking the air off the other's rear wing. I think the shakes are a bit exaggerated, but valid.

Eh no, in the game the pace car does this as well at the usual pace car speeds with or without another car directly behind it. Looks kind of like a freshly poked jellyfish to me. Very odd. - George

Yup, looks like one of those dogs with the bobbing head seen in the back window of some cars years ago. "

Maybe some truth to that...maybe if you play it long enough it'll have a mid-life crisis and retire, Ernie Irvan style... =-Rigs-= '...whatever answer, however illogical, must be the truth...'
