    I was a big fan of the 2003 papyrus franchise but this game was a huge dissapointment. Good thing I only paid $10 for it. The career mode is a good attempt that can be developed, but I bought the game for onlien play and to be honest its nearly unplayable, frequently lose connection and becomes choppy (I have a 1.5mb connection, stable ISP). Circuits with more than 4 or 5 human racers I was a big fan of the 2003 papyrus franchise but this game was a huge dissapointment. Good thing I only paid $10 for it.

    Doesn't rate against Papyrus's Nascar sims. And oh yeah Dave B. you want a drafting meter? lmfao. Go and play with your console. Or load up need for speed.

    To say the least, this is one of the best Nascar games out there. many things are improved over the last game, and this may be the greatest Nascar game of all time.

    It's definitely better in almost every way than it was last year, but there are still AI issues to work out, the need to support large fields online, including AI drivers where desired, better force feedback and a re-vamped audio. All that said, the actual driving is getting quite good and believable.

    It may not unseat "NASCAR Racing 2003 Season" as this year's premier PC NASCAR sim, but the NASCAR Thunder series is now right on the leader's tail.

    A deep and enjoyable racing experience. The amount of tracks, the different drivers, and the Season/Career mode should please all racing fans.
