Description |
Of course, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season only has to worry about what is basically one car and a rather limited set of modifications to the car, most of which are rather simple – like camber, tire pressure, spoiler angle, weight balance – and even seemingly meaningless changes like the percentage of the grille to be covered by tape. Because so little is allowed, each of these changes is actually more significant for that. When you can’t bump up the horsepower but need acceleration at speed, the 4mph top speed you might gain from going from 30 to 70% grille coverage is invaluable. NASCAR, like football, is a battle that comes down to inches. Over a hundred laps, every single advantage makes a difference. It’s like being able to strafe jump a little bit faster in Quake III. If all other things are equal, that will win you the game. And in NASCAR Racing 2003, everything else is equal. |
