The old Nascar games pioneered real-time damage/wear & tare. To bad they are so aweful now. I use to love getting online with them only to drive backwards and devestate the other players until they got pissed and left. People take gaming to seriousl

You need to turn the difficulty up as well as the adaptive AI. The defaults are horribly arcadish.

Yeah man. Turning left isnt a sport. However, driving is. If someone thinks it isnt a sport because its just left turning then why is Football a sport for throwing a ball, why is basketball a sport for bouncing a ball, and why is running a sport for competitive running?

Ohh right, its a skill.

Oh here, let me turn my wheel up to 15 percent in a couter clockwise rotation, hold this thing called a throttle down all the way, and repeat the turning motion several hundred times in one race day.

If you want decently-real racing, at least look at Cart racing. If you want actual real racing that involves more skill from the worst driver than any NASCAR driver, watch some Formula 1 or Moto GP. They actually have to switch gears, brake, accelerate and pass properly. Oh yea, and they do turn right as well, unlike NASCAR.

Ever wonder why some NASCAR drivers tell F1 teams their interested, and then the F1 team doesn't even bother responding? They just couldn't give a shit for garbage drivers that think they can drive.

Anyone can drive NASCAR. I laugh in the face of anyone that even remotely considers NASCAR or the Craftsman Truck series as real racing. It's all fucking crude and hilarious joke at the believers.

Pit a n00b F1 driver (like Anthony Davidson or Adrian Sutil) against a NASCAR driver on a real track, and I can guarantee you that the F1 driver will win. Why? Cuz NASCAR requires no skill.

Since when do Nascar drivers never change gears?

There are plenty of F1 racers that have tried the Nascar circuit and failed to be any better than mediocre, and that includes the 2 road tracks a year that have, you know, those vaunted impossible right turns.

I'm not even a Nascar fan (I watch the last 10 laps of about 2 races per year), but I just hate ignorance.

And DjDatz, you stink of it.

I do know that NASCAR drivers turn right, and that they have to switch gears. I'm not that much of an ignorant idiot. But they sit in...what 5th or 6th for about 95% of the race? I'm sorry, I can't claim to have watched a WHOLE NASCAR race before, as it just becomes UTTERLY boring. I have watched the highlights on TSN in order to see the wrecks because, (I'll give NASCAR that) those multi-vehicle wrecks are spectacular.

I happen to also know that there are FOUR NASCAR tracks that require right turns. Out of 31 (yes, I had to count, but I didn't have to look up that there are 4 with right turns) tracks and even more races? No offense, but that is pathetic.

Did you happen to watch the F1 race in Monaco 2 weekends ago? Well if you didn't it was a RIDICULOUS race, easily one of THE best I've EVER seen.

Oh yea, and when's the last time you saw a NASCAR driver in F1? If I'm not mistaken, and I could be wrong, Mario Andretti was the last. I know Montoya was the latest F1 driver to go to NASCAR, and he has won once in his 2 years at NASCAR...which means he's not that bad.

Anyways, i'm off to a coffee break, i'll continue arguing later.

Why...why expend so much energy ranting about something you don't care about in the first place? Nothing better to do?

You can't compare F1 to NASCAR drivers - open-wheel drivers are very rarely successful itransitioning to NASCAR. It's like saying drag-racing sucks because they don't turn the wheel. It's a completely different skillset. Again - don't whine unless you understand what you're talking about.

Such an idiot - FAIL

No, cuz it's all over the place and I'm sick of seeing it. Every time I turn on the Speed channel to watch some real racing, its either cars or trucks driving around an oval track. The weekends aren't that bad because I can catch some AMA Road Racing, MotoGP, or F1. I guess it's a culmination of years and years of dislike for NASCAR and its useless variations.

I do like drag racing, but that's because its more of a showcase of the limits of our current technology.

I know transitioning from open-wheel racing to NASCAR and vice versa is hard and rarely is anyone successful, but I will forever maintain that NASCAR drivers are nowhere near in skill to F1 drivers.

All I'm really saying is that if you were to pit an F1 driver vs. a NASCAR driver on a real international track (that neither have raced on previously) with the exact same cars, I have a distinct feeling that the F1 driver would win.

Let's compare the Daytona 500 to the Indy 500. Indy 500: 18 Lead changes. The Daytona 500 however had 42 lead changes. Perhaps fans enjoy racing where cars can actually touch without falling apart.

Win.
