Na. I've got a 486DX/33 8MB ram and I can get a decent frame rate. Main hint
for running NASCAR on a 386 or low end 486: running it with the -f switch to
turn off digitized sounds. It saves a lot of CPU overhead.

Sorry, but no. A friend had a 486DX-33 with a trident card and the
game was hopeless. Even with no detail the movement was so jerky
you didn't get a sensation of speed and the car was so unresponsive
you had difficulty keeping it on the track.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe the demo version (all that I have SO FAR) runs
faster than the full version, but on my 386-33 it runs smooth. Granted,
with all detail on auto most everything stays off, and if I try stereo
instead of mono sound it dogs badly, but in mono Soundblaster 8-bit and
VGA it's smoother on my system than Indycar, and I was happy with that.
I have a Cirrus 1 meg card and 8 meg of ram
Just my .02
