Nice turn around....I can never figure out why anyone could hate NASCAR and think it's not a sport

NASCAR is just too slow... A Champ Car at Fontana could average over 241mph... About 45mph faster than a Stock Car... And FIRST makes me think High Tech. Open Wheel cars with 2.65L Turbocharged V8's that make 750hp... Thats what this game makes me think... Except on a Milwaukee Mile level....

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR

On a slightly related note, how about this:


Did that yesterday for Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 (AKA FS2004). The plane is a Project Open Sky 737-800. Used Photoshop to make the paint. I still need to do some work... the text on the tail is a bit squashed, I need some Boeing stuff (just below the rear window, it should say "BOEING 737-800"), and I need to fix the engine alpha channel so it's not completely shiny. Also, there are a few antennae that aren't painted, so I either need to replace the visual model with something that has matching antennae, or paint them.

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR

Please do not forget about BASKETBALL!. Think about Dean's homework. Bring in the media and bring out an audience. What two sports are very popular: NASCAR and BASKETBALL. The NASCAR references are: a track, high speed, points for doing a lap, penalties for bad driving etc. etc. The BASKETBALL references are: over and back penalties, free throw's, dribbling, ball control, foul points, two point and three point shots, hail mary shot at the end with an opportunity to defend etc. etc.

If you begin to think of this as a race and a basketball game you can devise both offensive and deffensive strategies. The years game should be a blast to participate in and watch as a spectator!

Nice paint job! Maybe we'll see it on the hood of a real NASCAR one of these years...

Looks great guys, but one minor detail. I doubt that BMW will ever enter the M3 in NASCAR, haha. I love the M3 side vents on the car though, looks great!
