Ryan got absolutely fucked on that last lap.  Comically frustrating to say the least.

I find it hilarious that this Nascar quick look is almost twice as long as the Total War QL.

Is there a point to the RIVALS indicator that is displayed alongside cars during a race ? Will they be more aggressive towards you ? Anyone heard anything about that ?

Drew and/or Drew likes driving games right? I think he should be involved in more of these driving quick looks, maybe just so they can show off some of the deeper stuff as far as settings goes, they never really seem to do that since, well, maybe they aren't experts at this genre, but I still feel it would be good to explore that kind of stuff closer in these quick looks.

I think Peter Molyneux could make a Nascar game with more than left curves. And no cars.

I don't know man I think you could pull off a pretty serious spectator game too. It would involve lots of drinking and eating hot dogs though.

I am in no way interested in a NASCAR game in any way, but I have to say, I really appreciate the voice in your ear during the race. Most of those sound really fakey and overly excited in these sorts of games and I always end up wanting to get my hands around their throat.
 
This guy is just all business, good fake radio quality on his voice, and he sounds like he knows what he's doing and he knows that you know what you're doing. It's actually kind of impressive!
 
Now if only it were in a racing game that I would ever give a shit about.

I'm really surprised how engaging I found that quick look to be... I liked the drama and intensity of drafting between cars. I think having the more visible draft lines helped.
 
The "Elite Driver" title they unlocked... doesn't that use the same font from the "Driver: You Are the Wheelman" Series?

It must be a NASCAR game forum: filled with people who know little about the sport and make redneck and left turn cracks. The hillbilly jokes would make sense ten years ago, but the number of southern people involved in NASCAR has gone down quite a bit. As far as the left turn goes, there are a ton of racing events with left and right turns. Watch them instead, or the nascar races at infineon and watkins glen. I enjoy the sport for the tech, the cars, and a part of me just enjoys it overall. For some reason I can watch a nascar race, but I can't watch a baseball game. Unless I'm at the game.
