Read Full Detailed Report - NASCAR Racing 2003 Season

NASCAR Racing 2003 Season is a racing sim from Papyrus and Sierra (and should not be confused with the much inferior but similar sounding NASCAR Thunder 2003), and the final NASCAR sim from Papyrus (EA Sports now owns the rights). It includes all of the 2003 tracks, many of the drivers, and an engine realistic enough that actual NASCAR drivers have been known to use this for practice.

Full version of game, current patch. Running 19" widescreen @ 1440 x 900 x 32, no issues with single or multiplayer. Recently upgraded from 17" crt, very pleased.

1680x1050 seems to work just fine. I didn't notice anything odd.

One additional comment: In cockpit view the top portion of rear view mirror may be cut off in the turns of certain tracks. Seems like it may be related to how much the suspension is being loaded. For example at a track like Daytona in the draft when the car is almost bottoming out. Not a big deal to me, just can't see as far behind you.

Great website, cheers. :cheers

Mirror cut off only seems to be in the CTS mod. Mirror is mounted higher in CTS, no roll bar visible between top of screen and top of mirror the way it is in CUP, GNS, IROC, and PTA.
Haven't checked GN 70's mod, which uses CTS physics.

No screens shots at the moment.

Alrighty, I'm running my 32in CRT HDTV in 720p

So, I set it as my primary, made my Game run 1280x720x32

And, horizontal looks great, however it cuts things from the top, and the bottom, so any idea what I can do?
