As a huge and long-standing fan and user of NR2003, I was intrigued to see the NASCAR arrive in AMS2. The Gen 1 cars are almost undrivable but the Gen 2 & 3's are great. You guys will love the LM car! The AI are a bit weird but it would great to see an online event in the future.
Gen 1 cars are slippy... but definitely not undrivable... you just have to be a bit more gentle on the throttle.
The issue we have at SRO regarding running Nascar based races/series, is that due to our membership being predominantly European based, we have never seen much interest in running these cars. A big shame I agree, but I'd be happy to see a deluge of interest in them, which would be sufficient for us to try them again .
The only successful NASCAR series I organized used a single track throughout. I selected a GT3 mod pack and chose six different cars, racing just one car type per event while rotating through the list so each event featured a different car. It was fun and well attended, you might remember it from the R2P days, Ken, I think Rob and you joined us. I was surprised by how many people raced with us, something different intrigues folks to give it a try.
My memory is fading at the same rate as my speed Doug , so I can't be sure. I've looked at the wayback archive Drivers Leaderboard // Racing // Race2Play Multiplayer Online Racing but it doesn't have full details of all events. That was a great time for online racing groups like R2P for sure, before all the sim developers decided to muscle in on the action.
