N3, Brickyard 400 / Daytona 500...

I've got a couple of questions for those of you who own Nascar 3.... I've been considering getting it to replace my aging Nascar 2 (I've got the BGN Expansion pack for that too) but am wondering if it's tracks and carsets are compatible with N2 ? Can I use my BGN expansion pack on N3 ??? Also, Can anyone tell me if N3 has the Brickyard 400 and the Daytona 500 included ? If not, are they available for D/L on the web anywhere? I'm also a bit concerned about drive space and system requirements. How much drive space does it take up ? and how well will it run on my PII 266 with 128m of RAM and a 16meg TNT card with a 12 meg Voodoo II ??? I'm getting frustrated with N2, as ever since I got my LWFF the main menu flickers like crazy and my mouse leaves trails that stay on the screen. Also the incar view also flickers, only the chase F10 view is driveable, not too mention how temperamental that game is on my system.... So, I'm going to take a good, hard look at buying N3, even though from what I've heard it's just an upgraded N2 with better 3d support and FF support. (i'm not into multi-player/internet play as my phone line is sub-par quality and I can't getting a connection to my ISP at better than 26.4) Thank you in advance for the help!!! Jay J

Can I use my BGN expansion pack on N3 ??? Carsets aren't interchangable. All N2 tracks can be used in N3. N3 also includes many of the Busch tracks already. > > Also, Can anyone tell me if N3 has the Brickyard 400 and the Daytona 500 > included ? If not, are they available for D/L on the web anywhere? Includes a very good Indy, but still no Daytona. > > I'm also a bit concerned about drive space and system requirements.

My full installation is using around 350 MB with several custom carsets and all of my old N99 WC/BGN/CTS tracks installed. Your CPU is kind-of slow, but otherwise it ought to be alright. My system is about the same. 300 Celery, 128, V3 2000 at 166 MHz. Pretty good framerates all around at 800x600 with all options turned on at track draw-ahead at 6.
