The graphics system always renders them with all 4 wheels on the ground, although the physics system may attribute wheels with varying amounts of downforce (potentially resulting in no traction). The player's setup can be saved to disk for future recall, and the game also provides a few prefabricated setups for each track. This testing process is normally performed using the game's Practice or Testing modes. The player can view current tire temperatures using an in-game keyboard command.ĭedicated players can spend a great deal of time optimizing the car's setup to perform at its best on a particular race track. Tires in the game perform optimally at elevated temperatures, but if they heat excessively this effect is lost.

Temperatures are also influenced by many other factors such as weight distribution, toe-in, driver behavior, and the cornering characteristics of the race track. An incorrect camber setting can cause one edge to heat more than the other. For example, an underinflated tire will tend to heat more at the edges rather than the center. Numerous variables can influence tire temperatures. The game keeps track of 3 temperatures for each tire, reflecting temperatures at the center, inner, and outer edges. The adjustable variables have a significant effect on handling, and the tires themselves will grip differently depending on wear and temperature. NASCAR Racing also gives players the ability to set up their car in a realistic manner by adjusting the airdam height, rear spoiler angle, gear ratios, shocks, tire pressures, cambers and more.ĭriving physics are realistically modeled in the game. Alcohol and tobacco sponsors were removed, but alternate carsets from fans restored many of these.

The game is the first stock car racing simulator to include real sponsors on their respective cars. The game contains many real-life drivers. The speed of computer opponents is also adjustable, providing a competitive race for players of varying skill levels. Yellow flags can also be turned off and players can run any race distances of their choosing. The engine will fail if over-revved, and it can also fail from overheating (but such a scenario is rare). This game uses a scoring system similar to what NASCAR was using at the time, where all finishing positions earn a varying number of points. This combined with the impaired performance means that damaged vehicles will not contend for a high finish, but can still race for points which accumulate in the season standings. Repairs require a considerable amount of time (generally 1 minute or longer) to complete. In the readme file attached to this patch, Papyrus explained that the primary motivation for this change was multiplayer mode, where violent players had previously been able to achieve faster lap times by deliberately hitting walls.

The vehicle's sensitivity to crash impacts was increased in a patch to the game. Damaged sheet metal is removed, making for an imperfect repair with impaired aerodynamics. Damage can be repaired in the pit stop, except for blown engines which are not repairable. Heavy impacts will damage a wheel or even blow the engine. A crumpled hood can also make it difficult for the player to see the track. Heavier impacts can cause sheet metal damage, which hurts aerodynamics and may cause engine overheating. The effect of crashes varies depending on severity.
