Gaming News - November 2002
Bellevue, WA (November 14, 2002) - Sierra Entertainment announced
today the latest addition to their NASCAR racing franchise. Developed by
Massachusetts-based Papyrus Racing Games, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season will feature
new 3D graphics, an enhanced physics model developed with the input of official
NASCAR team engineers, and informative driving aids for both seasoned and novice
drivers. In addition, the game will include 2003 NASCAR Cup series teams,
sponsors, and tracks.
"For over a decade, Sierra's vision has been to create an authentic and
immersive driving experience for the PC marketplace," said Charles Holtzclaw,
director of marketing at Sierra Entertainment, Inc., "By forming key technical
partnerships with Goodyear Tire and Rubber, the sole provider of racing tires
for the NASCAR Series, and Jasper Motorsports, the No.77 NASCAR Cup Team, we
have enhanced our physics model and brought a higher level of accuracy to the
NASCAR Racing franchise. With brand new 3D graphics, drivers are now immersed in
a race environment where dirt and oil accumulate on the windshield and pit crews
come to life."
From Sierra:

populated pit row, team war wagons, pit signs, aerial objects such as planes,
helicopters, blimps, and more. In addition, the enhanced AI automatically
adjusts to match the player's driving ability, allowing both rookies and
veterans the opportunity to trade paint with the pros. Inspired by the
exhilarating world of actual NASCAR Cup racing, drivers can also choose to
compete against a full field of 42 NASCAR drivers online via Internet or LAN in
NASCAR Racing 2003 Season.
