Game Information

By: Papyrus, Sierra
Genre: Simulation, Racing
Release Date: February 4, 2003
Players: 1-42
Version: Full version

NASCAR Racing 2003 Season is a racing sim from Papyrus and Sierra (and should not be confused with the much inferior but similar sounding NASCAR Thunder 2003), and the final NASCAR sim from Papyrus (EA Sports now owns the rights). It includes all of the 2003 tracks, many of the drivers, and an engine realistic enough that actual NASCAR drivers have been known to use this for practice.

Widescreen Support

Method

Run the config utility and select your resolution there. You may see an FOV setting in the video menu. You do not need to touch this to make the game hor +.

Screen change

In this game, there are two main modes; driving mode (restricted to cockpit view), and play/replay mode (multiple camera angles).

Driving mode in the cockpit is Hor +.
Play/replay mode when in fullscreen is also Hor +.
