At last Nascar 3 is available in Holland. Well, only at one shop (as far as
I know): the Music Store (you can find those all over the country). The
great thing is: it only costs f 49,95! That's something like $ 25!!! At the
shop where I bought it, it stood right beside EA's Nascar Revolution,
costing exactly twice as much!!! :-) Don't know why they sell it so cheap,
but if you want the game, go to Music Store and order it now (before they
call it a mistake and double the price)! It's the complete box, with the
full 244 page manual (English: thank God it's not a crappy (short)
translation!) and a (quit useless) Quick reference card (I even got 3 of
them). On the back and on the support pages I can see it's the UK version. I
wonder what the difference is with the US version.

After you try it you'll know why it is cheap!
Tore
Wow you are lucky--here in Toronto N3 is about 10% more than NASCAR
Revolution SE.

Keep cool ;-), the price is correct, the german version will be cheap too...

You have to put in the CD to play, unless you do the following:
<snipped from another post>
- Make a backup of your GPL.exe file, just in case....
- Open GPL.exe in the Hex editor of your choice.
- Goto offset 0x22F96
- You'll find a 74 there, replace it with EB
- save the file, run the game, have fun....

It got a bad review in the German PC Games magazine. They picked up on
the AI problems (stopping behind a wreck) and said the graphics were
average. Mostly, though, what showed through was the bias against NASCAR
style racing. Like many European interviews, this one could be
paraphrased with "turn left, turn left, yawn". This probably explains the
low price more than anything else. Oh well, good news for us, I suppose.
By the way, they gave GPL a very high review.

Not only that, but they said, the grafics engine and AI were taken over
unchanged from NASCAR1999, which is not true AFAIK.
They also state, that the physics are worse than N1999, I can't judge that,
because I didn't play N2 or N1999, but I can hardly believe it.
And this is AFAIK the most selled game magazine in germany !?!?!

True. It seems they didn't really look into it. It was a one column
sidebar buried at the back of the magazine, and the screenshot they chose
was a blimp view of the outside of an oval, with one car in the picture,
which made the graphics look very sparse. I think they just didn't feel
like giving it half a chance.

Surprising about the Nascar review, because generally I find their reviews
objective.
