Not a huge NASCAR fan but that features list is incrediblle, may give this one a go.
 
I'm getting interested now. I just hope they don't let it all down with bad physics. There doesn't look like there is much else to go wrong with this. Apart from ai. If it's like the ai codemasters have for f1, then this game will be good.
 
I really like the way that they're going all out on presentation. I wonder if you can change strategy if the safety car comes out. It would be good for complete control under the safety car as well. You would be able to time an attack just right or get it all wrong.

By change strategy do you mean pit? If so of course you can pit and adjust your tire pressure and wedge. Loose-Tight. I think the DEVs said no controlling the car while the safety car is out. (In NASCAR its called the pace car). The reason is people would be running into each other while under the caution.
 
After watching the awesome Nationwide race I really hope the new generation car is in the game. I can only imagine racing like what was going on between Truex and Keselowski. It's giving me a chubby just thinking about it.
 
I think I won't be buying a PS3 solely for GT5 but for this game as well.

Eutechnyx said that their Nascar models are better modelled than GT5's (interior)
 
The more I see this game, the more it will be hard for me to turn down from buying it. So far everything looks promising, hopefully it does release worldwide because that hasn't been confirmed yet.
 
Gonna have to disagree. But they're not bad, really.

Well you gotta post a link to GT5 cockpit NASCAR screen shot then to compare.

Also that picture is done in flash I think. Save the pic and then look at it for a little more detail and better zoom.

HERE IT IS! Danica Patrick is officially in the game!
 
Yeah I don't like that aswell, hopefully you can adjust the HUD to your liking.

Yes they should, they can go and make an arcade game and kinda cowered out like Codemasters did with the Dirt series or they can go for it and make a sim-like game like Blackbean did with WRC.

I hope they go for the sim-like approach.
 
So I got kind of bored so I decided to make a list of all the confirmed drivers, so far there is only 30 based off of screen shots on the official site, I will have to watch some of the videos to see if I can confirm any others(I'm expecting 5 more at least).

Will try to get the spreadsheet up tomorrow.

I'm no nascar fan, I'm from the UK but I hope for your sake Eutechnyx does a better job with this game than it's previous efforts because it will disappoint if you go by their track record in driving games.

Yep, i hope then can do better than what they have done in the past. If their videos are not all pre-rendered then they are on the right track.
 
I think they'll do better. First they have a lot more money to produce this game with a huge publisher in actvision. And on there forum I've never seen devs listen to a forum like those guys.
