A new version of the popular NASCAR racing series, enriched with a number of improvements: Improved A.I. computer, improved physical model, graphical engine, sound, etc.

New version of the popular NASCAR racing series. As the previous part of NASCAR Racing 2002 Season met with a very enthusiastic reception, the players unanimously announced that it is a worthy successor to the excellent NASCAR 4, the developers from the Papyrus team set themselves the goal, again pleasantly surprise NASCAR fans. As a result, there is no part of the game that is not improved, improved or redesigned, from A.I. computer drivers to the physical model, graphic engine and sound.

As far as graphics are concerned, the authors used higher resolution textures, worked to improve shading, environment mapping and solar reflections. They have also refined car models, the appearance of the sky and horizon, mechanics in the pit-stop and many other things that increase the visual experience of players (and equipment requirements). Thanks to the improved physical model in the game, the cars move very realistically, and thanks to the improved destruction model, all kinds of breakdowns look almost like real - you can see the damage to the cars and of course feel the deterioration in their performance. As far as the A.I. computer A.I. is concerned, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season is equipped with a number of new features, such as "Catch Up AI mode" or "auto-adjusting AI strength", thanks to which the computer skills of the opponents automatically adjust to the level of the player, making the game attractive for both advanced and unfamiliar with the subject of this type of race.

In total, this title includes 26 NASCAR race tracks (i.e. all of which host the Winston Cup, plus a fantasy track), and we race with 42 authentic drivers. Naturally, we can still freely change the configuration of the car, from the type and thickness of tyres, through the characteristics of the suspension, to the angle of attack of the spoilers. However, as the creators themselves point out, we have the least changes here, because already in the two previous parts of the "Garage" option was almost 100% equivalent to reality. NASCAR Racing 2003 Season offers three single-snow modes, i.e. Testing, Single Race and Season Championship; it also allows up to 43 players to play simultaneously via the local network and the Internet.
