After mastering Nascar I & II, I was not up to speed on my hardware req. for Nascar 3 so I was away from it a while. I just loaded it and my first impression is way too similar to N2. Graphics look good, but feels very similar. My training wheels quickly went away, as I was able to stay in front with the slightly modified "Ace" setting and 97% opponant strength. Where can I find settings that will allow me to run faster? Any suggestions out there based on my requirements. Also, are there patches I should know about? BTW, what is with the cars twitching in front of me? Sorry, just no time to read this whole newsgroup, way to much here. gpapaioa.vcf < 1K Download
You can always give ONLINE racing a try, just go to multiplayer and sign up and go...much...much differnet than the AI...so you better get practicing (BTW..it is free) Gary

Why not run with opponent AI at 100% then if you're looking for a challenge....?

Beating the AI in Nascar 3 means relatively little, I'm afraid. Papy didn't do a very good job of programming the AI cars, and there's little to get e***d about there. I'm able to win races at 105% without breaking a sweat, with the correct setup, of course. The best challenges and the most fun Nascar 3 MUST be played on-line. If, like me, you thought the AI weren't too bad in N3 at first, you'll never look at them the same way again once you race against anybody competitive on-line. No more sleep for a week, then. Neo
