NASCAR Racing
About the Game
Sierra and Papyrus bring over their NASCAR series to the Playstation. The game presents three different game modes: Arcade Race, Simulation Race, and Simulation Testing.
Gameplay & Core Systems
While the Arcade Race mode let's players jump right into the fray after choosing their difficulty level (either rookie,veteran, or ace), the Simulation Race mode features a lot more customization options for players to take into consideration. Simulation Race mode lets players tweak their vehicles fuel usage, cross weights, tire pressure, the alignment of the camber and stagger of the wheels, the aerodynamics (air dam and spoiler), the shocks, and the gear ratios. The game also offers a Simulation Testing mode to let players test these settings on the race track without the interference of other drivers. Both Arcade and Simulation Race modes let players compete in a full 31-race championship season. After each race, players earn points depending on which position they placed in, which then affects their place in the season standings.
Standout Features
- NASCAR: A major part of the experience is 16 licensed NASCAR tracks such as the Red Rock Raceway and the Bull Run Raceway.
- NASCAR: Another notable element is 20 real NASCAR drivers from the 1996 season, and their respective car details.
- Options include having either automatic or manual shifting, setting the race length (either 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100% of the laps depending on the track), setting the opponents' strength (between 80% and 120%), setting the car damage to either arcade, full, or off, and turning on or off braking help, yellow flags, and the pace lap.
