NASCAR 4 was a revolutionary title which brought the amazing physics developed for Grand Prix Legends together with the ever popular stock car series. Further refined into 2002 and finally the swansong NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, Nascar 4 has faded somewhat into obscurity. But hidden within this aged gem is some fantastic racing, and some features you may be surprised to see if you're more familiar with the later releases.

Other than the blob in the grandstands, this is still a nice looking game 22 years later. It took the Project Wildfire folks to finally address the awful looking crowds in NASCAR 2003 with their unofficial (but sanctioned by Papyrus as they were closing up shop) homebrew patch that also added the pit stall tape markings on pit road.

The sheer feeling of raw, brutal speed on NR4 is demented, it was somehow lost on NR 2003 and even more on iRacing. It really feels and even looks like driving a 3000 pounds box but it's actually a rocket, or vice-versa.

The bulk of the mods I remember for N4 were track conversions from GPL. I basically skipped NR2002 but I spent a ton of time on N4 and NR2003. I'm happy you went back to look at old reviews. People were NOT that impressed by the changes between each, although I think Papyrus did everything they could to tweak things in the right direction.

I did some tweaking and got restrictor plate racing pretty fun on NR2003. I enjoy that it takes nearly 20 laps of a 60 lap race to climb from 40th to 20th while being two or three wide. I had some great races, but could never win the Daytona 500 in my career that I ran on there (over 15 seasons long). I was leading off of turn 4 on the inside on the last lap and got passed on the outside by Ryan Blaney and lost by .020. It was a blast.

I remember reading somewhere, that the plan was always to use the GPL engine for Nascar 3, however the people at Sierra, and even within Papyrus were scared that the difficulty of GPL would transfer to the Stock Cars and scare off potential customers. So they decided to just upgrade the graphics side of Nascar 3 and keep the old physics engine. However when they built a test Stock Car into GPL the game just worked and made a really amazing driving simulation of one, they just couldn't convince management that the game would be better for it.

Every year during Daytona 500 race week, there's at least one hideous crash. Sam Mayer nearly became the next Ryan Newman this year. Half the reason for that is because nobody can get out of anyone else's way or run away from anyone else. "Three wide, ten rows deep" is creeping dread masquerading as excitement. Spread-out cars slingshotting each other is ACTUAL racing.

Can't remember how many times I also listened to the DW track tutorials while I was figuring out how to drive around Talladega for the first time (in my defense I was 12 lol).

This brought back some nostalgia. I still have my copy of this game, though it's been a long time since I've played it. As an Earnhardt fan I enjoyed that I got to race against him in the game. I'm by no means great at the game, so I never turned the AI all the way up. What I often did was set like a 35% distance race at Rockingham or Bristol and turned off cautions in a race where I started from the rear and would try to keep my car together to get to the front and dodge all of the AI wrecks--especially at Rockingham there always seemed to be a big AI wreck on the backstretch on the 1st lap.

I think some of the issue with the pit entry is probably the strategy changes on the AI ratings. I'd suggest looking at that since if they're all the same it will make everyone pretty much pit on the same lap as far as I can tell.

The only major problem with the series is that it ended the year before Nascar's rule change: racing to the line after a yellow was in it's last year. The game is great but what would have made it perfect would have been if they had released just 1 more iteration of the game with the new rule that froze the field when the yellow comes out. The issue is in nr2003 there can be a wreck, which is normal, but after the yellow comes out the cars race to the line recklessly like it was the final lap, and will many times create more wrecks or just crash into previous pileups. So with one incident sometimes half the field is out. Some tweaks can help with the cars slowing down on yellow but it would have been great if we had an official nr2004 or nr2005 with new rules.

One of the biggest misses they made when moving to the GPL engine was getting rid of AI spins; in Nascar 1through 3, the AI can sometimes spin, but they must have not liked the artifcial hard-coded way they implemented that so they got rid of it in NR4 and never brought it back. Self-spinning is such a thing in Nascar that I think NR4 through NR2003 really really hurt for it--the games are still amazing, definitely, but I wish the AI could still fuck up and cause accidents that way. They can still slide up into each other and wreck that way but you'll never see them spin unless the AI line for the track is completely messed up so bad they can't even get around the course.

I discovered nr2003 in 2007. The number of hours I spent tweaking the game, installing cars/series, addons, tweaking tracks... must be in the thousands over the years. Due to time and work, I stopped playing then made a stupid mistake while rebuilding a new computer and lost it all. I downloaded it again just to be sure I have it in the future one day when I get more time or when I retire. It was/is a must have in racing, especially for oval racing. No other sim does oval racing well. AI needs some tweaking but there are some files out there. With modern day gpus and cpus and all the mods/addons it looks pretty good and in hd. And there are also great road circuits (Infineon, Watkins Glen...). Must have.

I remember the demo or N4 showed up on a PC Gamer (I think it was?) disc over here. N3/Trucks got glowing 10-20% reviews because of the engine bugs, but N4 got genuinely good reviews in the UK press. This was aroun the time our Rockingham got built, CART was over here and ASCAR/ASCAR Days of Thunder (yes that was a short lived name for the series) got a cult following, as did the pickups, and became SCSA that's tie into ASA and loosely, Euro NSASCAR Back to the N4 demo. It was, and I don't know if it was track choice, but I could just lap Dover or hours trying to get the perfect line, and not sure why. N2002/NR2003 demos never grabbed me in the same way honestly, but I think part of it was Dover showed off the engine in a great way with a track that unlike Talladega in NR2003, you had to really drive as far as Dover went, Richmond in NR2002, you didn't have to in the same way I feel is part of it.

Hi, sorry for digging up this old video, but I just found my old disc and installed this game (in Linux using Proton and OpenGL - runs nicely out of the box and even supports my old force feedback wheel) and I was just wondering how you got these insane crisp graphics. It looks like you're running at well beyond 1600x1200 even though you cropped to video to 16:9. Did the setup program offer you to select such a higher resolution or are you using some additional anti-aliasing tools or settings? I'm only able to select up to 1600x1200 which gives me horrible jaggies in the background and standard Nvidia OpenGL AA-override settings don't seem to be working. Thanks a lot and great video!

In this video NASCAR Racing 4 actually looks better than 2003. The colors and the contrast are better. Do you have the graphics turned down. I noticed in your other 2003 video that it was missing the shadows from the catch fence on the car. Anyway, I bought NR4 early enough to get the version with Dale Earnhardt still on the box and in the game. He got patched out of the game later though. I didn't buy 2002 Season or 2003 Season when they came out because I thought it was silly to buy the same game over again just for newer liveries. It wasn't until much later that I saw 2003 in a bargain bin for like 6 bucks and decided to go ahead and get it.

Hello Jake. During the nascar 2003 video you said that you used a patched exe for changing the physics. Could you pass where can I find it? Thanks

I had N2, 3, 4, 2002 & 2003 plus the truck add on for N3, plus Nascar Legends....I had issues getting Nascar to work on a Windows 10 PC, only 2003 would run, I how have a W11 PC & should give it another go but new PC's don't have CD/DVD drives.

take the race, minrace, and maxrace LPs from NR4 and replace default LPs for daytona/dega in NR2003. bump ai_dlongpad_scale to 100. optional: add a smidge of ai_squeeze_pcnt for some variability. enjoy!

2:11 I highly doubt that Sierra told Papyrus games not to use the GPL engine I watched a interview recently with Ken and Roberta Williams, and Ken was all about acquiring game studios that focused on one type of game and where the best in there field. He spoke at length about Papyrus and what geniuses he felt that they where. The founders of Papyrus went on to create iRacing, the first iterations of iRacing where built on top of the source code of NASCAR Racing 2003.

it's crazy that they used to just discard these games after only one year, they still do it with F1, iracing sure is not perfect but I like the idea of having one "game" that is perpetually updated, wish other racing games followed a similar model, sequels like AMS2 and rFactor 2/ACC really seem to kill momentum and userbase.

I'm a late adapter to most consoles not made by Nintendo and got F1 2021 when I got an XBOX One and I've enjoyed it enough to stick with it instead of upgrading to '22 or '23.
