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.
