Still Going Strong in 2006!! Best Nascar Sim to Date! [Posted on 2006-02-14]
I've had the game since it first came out and I must say I'm very happy with Papyrus's final Nascar simulation. The game itself has a believable physics model, Great graphics when it first arrived (still not too bad in 2006), OK damage modelling (could have done better) and fantastic multiplayer and modding capabilities. The only problem I have with the singleplayer game is the AI difficulty. I'm extremely good on just about every track in the game, but the auto-difficulty measuring tool is a bit off, saying on tracks where there was no possible way of going faster or reaching better lap times a value in the mid 90 percent where as on other tracks I'm topping the scale at or near 110%. Right now the game is of high value, since its the last "true" simulation that has emerged, and prices are usually around $100USD. You will also need a wheel for this game, because the keyboard just wont cut it unless you only want to play the game on arcade settings. If your not into Nascar, check out GTR or GT Legends (and soon GTR2) - newer games with even better physics and graphics than Nascar 2003, but focusing on the Road Courses instead of the ovals (even though in GTR there are oval track downloads).

Nascar Racing 2003 Season Review [Posted on 2006-07-20]
The best sim-racing game made to date. Anything else is just plain junk.

They just don't make them better. Step on the excellerater and listen to the roar of the engine. Chills run down your back. A person's fantasy is when you step on the gas, this car will take you where you want to go. You are given a great car or you can choose one. Either way your car is good enough to win all races. As soon as you get use to the tracks, set the AL at 90%or more and off you go to the greatest competion you have ever had in a fantasy game. Graphics are great except father down the track or long distance racing. Crashes occur often expecially in short tracks like Bristal. I have won all the races except Bristal. Even if you don't crash, there are other crashes throughout the race. It is pure luck if you win this race. The cons do not outweigh the pros. Greatest game on the market.

Stop paying 100 bucks for this thing and go find a torrent. These prices are rip offs.
sad to see it end... [Posted on 2007-08-29]
i started playing the nascar game way back in 1993-94 (guessing) and each year the "wow" factor seemed to double if not more. but all things must reach a peak and it looks like this is both the last and best of the series, with a few plus and minus factors. but i was just wondering about a few things i noticed while playing:
one thing that has always bothered me is why i always get 1/2 of a car - the view is either outside the vehicle or only the drivers side interior. why can't they make a version with a full drivers view....?
and, why am i always the only one to crash - always. out of 43 starting vehicles, zero of them ever wreck. it's always me and even when i get bumped, the other car is completely unaffected. i've even rammed #20 car at full speed and *nothing* happened. it just swayed back and forth for a few seconds then took off.
and, why is my car the only one that can't stay on the track. i would have to reduce the maximum speed to 20mph for my car to make the corners without fishtailing (extremely tight or loose) on all but one or two tracks. no settings - slow, fast, jasper - make any difference.
i think you get the drift. i could go on for hours but why bother. if you are looking for a well balanced realistic nascar experience, keep looking. if you can enjoy a driving simulation that has you crashing every other lap, you found it.
