Nascar Racing 3 PC Game
NASCAR Racing 3 is a racing simulator produced by Papyrus Design Group in 1999. Players can compete in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series with cars from the 1999 season.
The inherent hypocrisy in reviewing simulations is that in most cases, the journalist responsible for the article has nothing to compare the simulation to. I, for one, have never flown a F-16, driven in a Sherman tank or sat at the helm of a missile-packin' NSSN submarine, so why the hell are we reviewing products that aim to simulate them? Well, it's because we are evaluating the software for a sense of believability, a projected authentication loosely based on more "everyday" laws of physics, such as driving in a fast car or perhaps flying on a small shuttle flight from San Fran to L.A. Yup, it's all a guess, but keep in mind our reviews boil down to the most important consideration ¿ how much fun is the game?
That said, the following is a review of Papyrus' NASCAR Racing 3, though I have yet to drive a genuine stock car in "real" life. But is the game fun? Hell, yes. Realistic? Well, I'll eat my motor oil if it's not the most authentic-feeling NASCAR game I've climbed into. So, buckle up and find out why...
SCREENSHOTS
Even with these minor shortcomings, NASCAR 3 is hands-down the best American stock car racing simulation on the planet. There are other noteworthy features worth mentioning ¿ such as support for positional 3D audio hardware and incredibly realistic force-feedback ¿ all of which add to the overall immersion factor. Yes, it's true that I've never driver in a NASCAR tournament and no, I haven't even lapped a track in a stock car. But I'll be darned if NASCAR 3 isn't the closest I'll ever get to the real thing...
