Nash, here's the url to the GROWL league, which has been together and racing online in GPL for over two years. Please have a look and sign up for a free account on speedgeezers so that you can post and start a dialogue with us. We'll get you up and running in no time.

Nash, this is just a guess because I have never played NASCAR 2003 but you might want to try reseting the resolution or other graphics settings then giving it another try. Alot of games rebuild and relink their 3d objects for efficiency each time you make changes to the graphics settings. After your initial install and system config, you may be crashing with the objects then corrupted. I've run into similar situations with other games and what I do is reset the resolution or other GFX settings. Sometimes a patch eventually fixes the problem.

A general question for guys who have played both F12002 and GPL. Which game is more realistic in terms of the driving physics and which game provides better car/track setup features? Seems like GPL has alot of setup features, how about F12002?

F1 2002 (at least GTR 2002) reminds me more of driving a real car than GPL. Of course I don't drive 1967 GP cars in real life.

The F1 cars in F1 2002 remind me a lot of driving a kart. Which seems OK because a lot of F1 drivers use karts to prepare for driving their race car.
Both GPL and F1 2002 have more setup options than I care to use.

I don't know whether to hate you guys for this thread or not.

the last thing I need is another game (not to mention another controller lol) to kill time on. But I'll be damned if that GTR2002 isn't burrowing deep into my brain.

Does anyone know if they have a 2003 ALMS car set for it?

Actually by that point the fuel and engine regulations had reduced power. In 1986 both BMW and Honda had special qualifying engines putting out about 1,300 hp.

Just played few mins with "Colin McRae Rally 3" and my first thoughts were "this game sucks".
Guess Codemasters should take few lessons from Bugbear (makers of Rally Trophy) how to built a game where the cars behave like in "real world".

I was wonderin what Bugbear is doing right now and found "Flat-Out". Guess they've made also a Flight MOdel for that game

Staga · « **Reply #40 on:** June 20, 2003, 04:06:13 AM »

btw about horsepowers:
Interserie Porsche 917/30 was putting out 1100hp @ 1,3kg boost (1112nm torque!) but could be kicked up to 1500hp @ 2,25kg boost when some extra power was required.

I tried LFS again. It just seems like slow motion after F12002.

Cool though.

nascar racing season 2003 is a kick...
when drinking try the arcade mode...
if not, and you want it to be the most realistic with the best physics do full real..

it rocks.

Yeah CMR3 sucks.

RT is great. I wish Bugbear would make a WRC sim.
Actually we could mod RT to be WRC (there are car editors and track editors), but there is no provision in the physics model for a center differential. So about as far as we can go is early 80's Group B with RWD (Lancia 037 etc)

Yah, the one thing that threw me off in F12002 is the rear posy traction 409 4 speed dual quad fuel injected differential cam lobbed radial joint flange.

I ported the injector by 3/10ths, and did the rocker arm mod, lol. Guys were calling me a cheat!

I mean, I got 250 horsepower stock in the GTP, and Funky pants wished like he anticipates Dripsnore, ala “Country Bernie” to fly in with speed stories. I dig that, and modded my camshaft out, infused a cadmium slip joint on the rocker panel intake too.

The blower is kicked out too.
