    With all things you can do to modify this game, it is the most fun racing game ever. Users that connect through IRF to find races can paint and trade setups easily.

    Game is great if you use expert mode. Very realistic, could use help in normal/arcade mode. Overall this is one of the best.

    I buy a new racing sim every year. This one is the best by far. I also make use of the patches, tools, and new car downloads.

    Aside from the two new racing modes, Beat the Heat and Race the Pro, the best part of the gameplay in NASCAR Heat is the thrilling pack racing experience, driving door-to-door and fender-to-fender against your opponents.

    I just wish that the details of NH were as good as the foundational components such as the physics and graphics engines. The yellow flag bug will ruin a great offline race.
