Fortunately, Papyrus decided to take the high road and finish the series in style by including new features and enhancements, as well as all the core features you've come to expect.

Of course, Papyrus has also been wowing gamers for years with their NASCAR Racing series.ĭespite the praise, awards, and sales that the NASCAR Racing series has enjoyed, NASCAR Racing 2003 will mark the series' premature end. Grand Prix Legends was one of the most demanding and rewarding racing sims in PC history, and it still enjoys a diehard fan base years after its release. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise to fans of serious racing sims, considering Papyrus' reputation in the field. Papyrus' NASCAR Racing 2003 Season does all that and more, offering up thrilling racing action with the realism that hardcore fans crave.

Televised NASCAR races don't always do a good job of showing you the thrilling sense of speed, the ever-present danger, the subtleties of each track, and the nerves of steel required to smoothly navigate them. Often, mere inches separate the cars, and mere fractions of a second separate daring maneuvers from horrifying crashes. But the bigger truth for race aficionados is that NASCAR is about dozens of cars crammed onto tiny tracks - sometimes just half a mile long - and blasting around them at nearly 200mph. Some people mock NASCAR races as just a bunch of guys turning left for a few hours and there's some truth to that. Papyrus has devoted great effort towards making NASCAR Racing 2003 Season a fitting culmination to the critically-acclaimed series.

New graphics are designed to bring the racing world to life at an unprecedented level of detail, with an active pit row, helicopters and blimps, and even the accumulation of oil and dirt on the windscreens.ĭue to changes in the rights to the license, this may be the developer's final official NASCAR game (at least for several years). The physics engine has been refined and enhanced under consultation with NASCAR team engineers. With 23 NASCAR tracks, tutorials, driving aids, and online capability, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season is designed to be the developer's most complete, full-featured NASCAR game to date. Along with the challenging AI, believable physics, and real-life tracks, cars, and drivers for which the earlier NASCAR Racing games are known, this 2003 release boasts a number of new, fan-requested features and the most engulfing 3D graphics yet in the series. Racing game experts at Papyrus steer their long-running NASCAR series towards the finish line with this 2003 release.
