Tips

Tip: Things have changed since NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition. Now, drafting past and outbraking a competitor into a turn is no longer a guarantee that he won't stay with you or attempt to regain his position in the midst of that turn. Be certain beforehand that your setup can handle all aspects of a given track's corners, and adjust your approach to ensure that a fast entry doesn't result in a slow exit.

Tip: As always, a fast frame rate is absolutely essential to properly monitor your car's position and attitude. If the frame rate isn't totally smooth, especially in the midst of traffic, go to the graphics options area and prepare to sacrifice pretty pictures for fast frame transitions.

Tip: NASCAR 3 is one of the very few racing titles in which a force-feedback wheel is actually a driving aid, not just a frivolous perk. If you have the bucks, take the plunge--just check the reviews of the wheel first and make sure you're getting a good one.

Tip: If you're tinkering with your car, make sure your new setup can survive the grind of the race distance you choose. There were many times when I'd settled on a given setup that flew for the first few dozen laps, only to die later as rubber burned off the right front tire. Don't make the same mistake.

Tip: If you can handle the pitfalls of short, low-banked circuits, chances are you can handle higher-banked and longer tracks where the driving isn't quite so frightening. I personally feel that Memphis, a three-quarter-mile facility with 11-degree banking, is a great baptism by fire.

Tip: You would do well to adopt the "Five P" approach: Preparation, patience, perseverance, pacing, and last but surely not least, practice.

No Restricter Plates At Talladega

Note: This involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Enter the game directory and find the "tracks/taladega/taladega.txt" file. Use a text editor to edit this file. Locate the line that starts with "SPDWY" and
change the first number from "1" to "0". Speeds over 230 miles an hour may now be obtained.

Description:
NASCAR fans, start your engines! NASCAR 3, the successor to the extremely popular NASCAR 1999, improves the series with better physics, seriously improved graphics, and more realistic tracks than ever before.

We really like the improvements that have been made to the game's special effects, available for those of us with 3-D accelerator cards. The smoke and dust effects are particularly convincing compared to those of the previous version. Audio is also much improved, and gamers with 3-D audio cards can enjoy some eerily realistic surround sound effects. It's possible to tell where another car is in relation to you simply by listening closely.

Novices can turn down many of the simulation's realism options and basically transform the simulation into an arcade game, but seasoned racers are still free to roll up their sleeves and modify virtually every aspect of their cars. From the amount of duct tape to put on the grille, to infinitesimally small changes in the stagger of the tires, if you can do it in real life you can probably do it in the game.

Races take place on a variety of familiar tracks. Darlington, Talladega, the Milwaukee Mile, Sears Point, Watkins Glen, and 23 other familiar ovals and road courses are rendered in superb detail. The excellent manual outlines the history of each venue and provides tips for car setups so beginners can get started right away. If people have ever told you that NASCAR racing is boring because all you have to do is turn left, put them behind the wheel of NASCAR 3 so they can see firsthand what it's really all about. --T.
