The best sim-racing game made to date. Anything else is just plain junk.

Rating: - Still Going Strong in 2006!! Best Nascar Sim to Date!
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).

Yes, as the previous reviewer stated. "The endless possibilities of this game are ...... um.....endless"

Rating: - The best Sim out there!!
The endless possibilities of this game are endless.
Although the offline play can be a bit boring, as the AI cars are very hard to race against (meaning that they are not the most realistic drivers) The game realy takes off when it come to online racing. The Servers that support this game (Xtremespeeday being the best that there is!) offer the best racing around. There are endless additional mods that can be found with a quick search of the net not to mention OVER 200 extra tracks!! that can be played online. You can also join 'families' (Xtremespdwy.com being the most welcoming) where you can get help from other drivers and the bosses that run the different servers. they also offer talking software called ventrillo that can be used so that you can talk to the drivers around you at the same time!!!
This game is a MUST. If you like arcade games, then this is not for you! If you like racing Simmulations that even the Real drivers use to practice on, then this is the ONLY game to buy!!
Hope to see you on the Track (in my mirrors of course!!)

Rating: - Papy makes the Best Racing Sims
I've had this game ever since it came out and it's still at the top of my gaming pile.

the community is keeping this game alive, upto date car paint schemes and the mods are great. Project Wildfire has released many mods that are just amazing for this game (Truck series, Busch Series, IROC and a trans am mod for all you road racers, plus over a dozen new tracks from PWF and tons of tracks from many other mod teams)

get a wheel pedal combo, a good vid card and get into community and you'll find this game is still going very strong even after papy has moved away from the PC sims.

if your a PC sim fan, Papys games are the only games you want, EA's Nascar games are for arcade fans with Xbox's.

i can get from 50-80fps with:
- Athlon XP 2800+
- 512 ddr-ram (PC-3200)
- ATI Radeon 9700pro (128mb) videocard

------------------
find PWF @ http://www.projectwildfire.com they have moved on but all the info you need you can get from the very active forum.
