Quick Look: NASCAR The Game 2011

" A NASCAR game? Haha, great April Fool's joke, guys. "

" Love racing games and I'd play this even though NASCAR kind of sucks. I mean, all the tracks are just circles..   "

" Chevy? "

Turn left.

Good luck, have Chevy?

" Never understood Nascar.  "Lets watch 50 or so cars do 2,000 left turns" "

I rode around the track at Talladega once. The guys were driving big Hemi trucks around the track before the race. Taking those steep turns at even just 120 mph was both scary and fucking awesome. The gradient on those turns is fucking steep and when you look out the window toward the inside, you are like two or three stories up. I'm not a Nascar fan but you should go just once to experience the insanity.

Sweet ZZ Top

This actually looks really nice, and kinda fun haha reminds me of the 90s nascar games and how its come

Not once did the AI look like it wanted to win.

Same reason people watch baseball, I imagine...nachos and beer. "

Chevy?

First quick look I just skipped through sections of. I usually like driving games but man, damn dull 

I think Ryan may be worse at games than Brad.

When in doubt, the answer is always Chevy.

Great vid

this game could provide the kind of LOL-inducing arcade Nascar madness that we haven't seen since the likes of Nascar 2000 for N64!

They do have the Nacar "melieu" down pat. ZZ Top is quality, too.
 
Why is Road Atlanta in Macon? Did Minoru Handa work on this?

the only reason I ever rented a nascar game was to drive backwards into the pack

If La Grange played on a continuous loop throughout the entire game, I would buy this. And that loading screen laminate is amazingly hypnotic.

Surprised that this game actually has some tactical merit through the drift/slingshot mechanic. I think I'd get pissed off with the AI cheapshot of tail-ending me though. Grrr. Reeee-wind.

I feel like the AI in this is way better than many big name racing titles like NFS or Gran Turismo. Of course the tracks they have to navigate are very simple, but it still seemed like they were actually trying to avoid crashing to hard into other vehicles.

looks alright might keep an eye out for this one has i like all my driving games.
who knows might just turn out to be a decent game.

CHEVY! 
  Fist thing I thought when i saw this was "WHAT?", well I hope they go the wrong way of traffic. Then I saw the snapshot before hitting the play button and laughed my ass off.  
 
:( never mind, never happened. I demand a re-quick look!

I imagine this will be the first and only time I will ever watch this much nascar. This is even more pointless than other car racing I've seen.

Yea, who originally sold the idea of racing in a circle, and not just once, but 500 fucking times......

Race billboards in a circle, where do I sign.

I found this surprisingly interesting.

 Like most sports it's all about the fine tuning, just making up that tiny inch aaaaaaaand most of the tracks no matter where you visit are ovals but like Ryan (but not like Ryan being a non-US citizen) I can see me being interested in this for a short while I guess.
Lol, I actually reckon I'd be into Nascar driving as a career too thinking about it. Sunny days, too much food, going really fast and none of this having to navigate chicanes bollocks. Easy money in the land of the free (and plenty).

there is a bunch of different forms of tracks theres two different road courses watkins glen and infineon raceway which is close to the nay area they mostly drink wine there instead and if i could id glady take your place at the nascar race you guys are going to and interview and such i know most of the up and donws for it sigh if only i still lived near the bay area

Lol in real Nascar it's a penalty to pass someone when you're under the yellow line.

NASCAR is so boring, F1 is the real motorsport.

There's a slightly mesmerizing quality to the racing here. Dunno. Might pick it up when it gets cheaper.
