  • Nascar 1 was a huge oval track designed by me....not even showing up in the post log.

    BTW Rah, what happens to the old posts...I thought there was an archive. Anyway, this forum only goes back to 1-2004

    I also like the crash rule, BTW.

    • For snoopy, all the previous races:
      Nascar IX: Pit Stop (Part 2)
      NASCAR VIII: NFS Underground II Edition
      Nascar VII
      Nascar VI: "Hot Wheels"
      Nascar V (Curve City)
      Nascar IV
      Nascar III
      Nascar II
      Nascar 'poly'


      And the precursor, Formula racing games:
      Formula 3 - Apolyton (Part 2)
      Formula 2 - Apolyton
      Formula 1 - Apolyton (aka Yet Another Forum Game)


      I find the title for Formula 1 particularly amusing: who would have thought that people were already complaining about FG proliferation back in 2003? 'Twas before GO and Society (and HANGMAN!!! ), etc... (though that was admittedly a time for experimentation, when such flops as Football, Soccer, and Baseball made their appearances.)

      • IF i wasn't so lazy, I'd go back and put together a record of the winners and GMs for each race.

        • I'm doing that as we speak, and will put it in the topped thread soon.

          • to Jonny for the impressive summary of races, racers, winners and GM's. Edit: If I wasn't so impressed I might ask that you also add the first part of this race to the links, but you have done such a great job already I wouldn't think of even bringing it up !! Wow you got that too!!

            And as for Vovan, well done as well, must be something about Rookie drivers (though there is a "voan" listed in Formula 1 - Race 1, is that Vovan??), didn't Kassiopeia also win his rookie race?

            Looking over the list of racers reminded me of on of my favourite terms from any forum game "doing a Chaunk" . I was tempted in our current game to do the same, I just couldn't build up enough speed

            • I see what the problem was on the oval track ... and it's really quite different from what i'm imagining. I'm imagining a much shorter track, which is much less wide, not a Talladega like Spaced's (tho the actual Talladega is sort of a cool shape ...), but more of a Bristol motor speedway ... But definitely faster speeds - fast enough that you have to brake - and perhaps also more WCs available (maybe use 3 max B and A per turn instead of 2 ...)

                Well, so much for feeling good about fourth place...........



                ACK!

                    Apparently I'm not the only one that noticed that "someone" got very, very quiet all of the sudden.

                    • If worst comes to worst, I've won enough races that I wouldn't mind trying to perfect the last experience.
                      I don't think it needs too many tweaks. Using a few more turns that don't require two WCs and perfect timing would empower the turbo option a bit.

                      BUT I would prefer to race.............. It's been awhile thanks to my knack for designing races that take too long.

                          • I thought he posted somewhere that he was going to have limited access for a short bit.

                            If we don't hear from him soon, I'll prepare another track, now that I seen a summary and how many races I've won.

                              If you prefer to race, I could design a track, be it road track or oval at you all's preference - I wouldn't mind a second game of watching (and seeing everyone's orders in realtime! ) before I sit behind the wheel...

                              In terms of road courses, I was thinking one with instead of a huge long sandtrap like this one, with 2 or 3 different 5-8 square long sandtraps, with 'better' and 'worse' but not perfect ways through any of them ... and perhaps a slightly smaller track overall, maybe 30% shorter, either with 3 or 4 laps? Thus increasing the bonus to pitting early for the turbo folks (and getting a higher max speed)?

                              • Thats the problem with a short track and turbo, you can never get up to the speed.
