who's still racing NR2003?
Any leagues still running? I don't have it installed anymore, but I have a
decent archive from my Winxp days, does it run well on vista and win7? |

Haven't touched it in over a year and I don't know if people are still running it for league use, but I can answer the Windows 7 and Vista question, which is: no. The reason is the way the sound is handled in the game, which already gave rise to some problems under XP, depending on one's hardware. In Vista and Windows 7 the "hardware abstraction"-idea has been implemented entirely differently to what was envisaged in the Win98/early XP days. Which in turn means running this game on Vista/Windows 7 means you're implementing whatever hardware accelleration features NR2003 used to use in software for compatibilities' sake. If one's got a monster rig, that'll sort of work, but the performance will at best be level with more modern titles which use the soundcard the right way for these operating systems. Jan. =--- |

I have a friend who still runs 3 nights a week or so over IP. It's
getting to be a very exclusive club, though. Personally, I haven't played the game in a year and a half, but I did love it. If Sierra servers were still up I would still be playing at least one night a week. |

I agree,
I also have buddies that have the same PC they have had for what, 5 years, running nr03... Me I'm in IT, so I basically have to move on, lol. if it would run on Vista/win7 (I just don't feel the urge to boot to XP anymore), I would run it I guess.

This explains why it would lock up on with a sound loop on my PC when I tried it on Vista. But I did get Nascar Heat running fine on Win764bit yesterday. |

Apparently a recent (it dates from February, but I last helped a friend with Win7 in december and have only been using 7 myself since last week) DirectX11 update fixed a ton of compatibility issues with regard to stuff written for earlier operating systems. I haven't tried NR2003 yet, but GPL now runs fine without any soundcorruption on Win7-64bit. |

Say what you will, the game is still the best Nascar simulation for
online multiplayer. Hasn't been a game that can hold a candle to it yet. Not into working my way through the ranks with IRacing. I just want to jump in the car and drive Daytona. |

Fully understand not wanting to spend the time to get to where you can
race NASCAR officially in iRacing but there are pretty much always Hosted Nascar races (cars and trucks) going on and I bet quite a few leagues. If you really want the best online NASCAR, with the most players, with the fewest glitches/warping/etc., then iRacing is it.
