    Even without any type of career mode, you are getting one of the most thorough and in-depth sports titles for the PC. The hardcore NASCAR fan that has the computer power to get the most out of this title will be in seventh heaven.

    If you want to enjoy this game in all its glory, you'd better have a top-end gaming PC and a decent racing wheel. [May 2003, p.66]

    Like "Quake," it’s not just a game that you get better at the more you play it – it's a game that gets better for you as you learn to understand the intricacies.

    It has a narrow niche and it fits it well – better than any racing game I’ve ever seen. I did notice some jerkiness on my older system that just barely meets the requirements, but other than that, the game ran well.

    This year's model leaves you feeling like it's nothing more than one big, full-priced retail patch. [May 2003, p.98]

    NASCAR Racing 2003 Season is definitely a game ahead of its time. The fact that mods are still being released should give you all you need toNASCAR Racing 2003 Season is definitely a game ahead of its time. The fact that mods are still being released should give you all you need to make this a must have...only problem, good luck getting your hands on a copy at a reasonable price. I used to own this game and made the mistake of selling it years ago, trying to land a copy now is a tad difficult. Regardless this is a must have for avid NASCAR fans looking for a great racing simulator. The physics are top notch for its age and one can easily spend hours just toying with the possibilities. All in all NR2003 is easily the best NASCAR game available, yes even better than the latest renditions of the sport. GET A COPY IF YOU CAN!… Expand
