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.
