I'm in 2 leagues using NASCAR racing 2003 COT mod. I got some car files for the 2008 season but not all of them. Not sure if anyone is making a 2008 car set with the mod.

The new NSS mod for rFactor is really, really good. It's the closest thing there is to the venerable NR 2003, much better than the overrated, overhyped TPSCC mod for rFactor.

It's best to use this mod with the NSS/JSS tracks that can be found here:

This is a really solid COT mod. About the only stock car mod for rFactor worth a damn, and the closest thing to the incredible NR 2003 you're going to find if you don't have that game.

I still have NR 2003, but rFactor has become my all-in-one racing game. It has so many good mods from all types of racing, with a good NASCAR mod finally added to the mix.

Take care,
PK

Do you play rfactor offline with the NSS NASCAR mod? If so, how is the computer driver AI? Also, are you able to run a season /career type game, or is it all through exhibition / play now type play?

Thanks

Solid offline AI, especially at the plate tracks. The cars are a bit more stable than NR 2003, but the designer added that extra stability to allow closer, better online racing.

Still, this mod is much closer to the brilliance of NR 2003 than any other rFactor stock car mod.

I hope you're using a force feedback wheel. NR 2003 has superb FF through a wheel.

And don't use the damn driving assists, either!

Have fun,

Re: what is everyone using online for nascar?

Unfourtanetly I don't have a FF wheel. I got my grandpa's old Microsoft Sidewinder. So it kinda means something to me lol. Yea, I have trouble when I'm racing on the non-superspeedways, but that will just come with time

[pk500]

Re: what is everyone using online for nascar?

The Sidewinder isn't a bad wheel, man. It's better than using a gamepad, for sure!

Have fun. NR 2003 is a legendary game. There are a ton of free, easy-to-install mods for it, too, including Craftsman Truck, COT, Busch Series, 1990 Cup, 1988 Cup, Saturday Night Short Track, Whelen Modified. Zillions of free paint jobs, too.

PM me if you want details.

Take care,

Yea, I'm running it right now, I need to upgrade my comp for ARCA, but I'm about to start painting myself an ARCA car.

I like the RF Stockcar mod at http://www.rfstockcars.com/

Their version 1.0 should be out momentarily.

I'm going to try this mod out now, see how it compares to RF Stockcars. I didn't know it was out there until your post.
