NASCAR Racing Overview
NASCAR Racing is a detailed simulation from Papyrus that shifts its focus to closed-cockpit stock cars. The game offers a high degree of control over vehicle setup and appearance, supporting a distinct racing style through its realistic car models and accurate handling.
Its simulation is designed to be accessible, providing optional aids like automatic shifting and braking. Players can configure race length by lap count. The title includes nine tracks, featuring both oval circuits and the Watkins Glen road course.
A key technical aspect is the drafting system, where closely following another car reduces aerodynamic drag. This position improves acceleration, conserves fuel, and lessens mechanical wear. Properly timed, it enables strategic passing maneuvers. The CD-ROM version supports a maximum display resolution of 640x480.
