Reliving IndyCar's DW12 Era at Indianapolis - NR2003

  • Its always felt like a stretch to make NR2003 into an IndyCar sim, but when all the pieces come together it can be really convincing. Despite the other options out there, this is something I continually come back to. The flexibility, number of circuits, and variety of seasons of IndyCar that you can simulate are enough to look past a few of the shortcomings. Most of all its just plain fun!

    I think that an indycar game in the style of Codie’s F1 series would be perfect.
    Enough realism for hardcore people to have fun with it but accessible enough for the average player.

    This was great racing sim back in the day. That brings back memories of my racing league from 2002 to somewhere around 2011. We live raced several series mods with open and fixed setups, no AI's. For IndyCar we used the OWR 07-08 mods. The cost of the game $40, free mods, tracks and years of racing sim. We got our money's worth.

    I don't disagree about having a fun sim cade indycar game at all... I just don't think they needed to take away iRacing's official licensing to do it. Motorsport Games was the big mistake IndyCar made... NASCAR made sure to stick with iRacing and let motorsport games build the console title. It saved their butt too...

      I really do disagree!
      Motorsports games does not deliver „fun simcades“ at all, they deliver nothing.
      But when they deliver something it’s a really bad pure arcade game with physics like 90s ridge racer!
      This was the most stupid idea to take it away from iRacing!
      They should’ve just dragged msg to court, delay the case for a few years and it will solve itself because msg will be bancrupt!
      It just shows how detached from the real world those managers at NASCAR and IndyCar are!
      They have drivers and officials who know a lot about sim racing and how important it can be for advertising and making money.
      Still they decided the most stupid company who never delivered anything good and is KNOWN for that!
      Ignore the contracts with msg and go on with iRacing or even something much better with better physics etc.
      Maybe AC2 will be this new legend, maybe it will be worse than the first AC because they closed their system, which would destroy its longevity.

      @@rolux4853 My point was that the exclusivity of what IndyCar and Le Mans did is the real problem. Let them mess around with whatever console dev they want, good or bad, but leave the iRacing simulation alone.
      Don't pull that part away solely for the console title. it makes zero sense to do. No one who enjoys sim racing would want to revert ONLY to a simcade game, and no simcade person is gonna magically become a pure sim fan if they aren't already...
      So NASCAR did it right. they kept the sim racing and went after a fun console casual game. even if that game sucked, we all had an option to enjoy their content...

      @@FloridaManRacer I don’t think this was the decision of Indycar alone.
      When they notified the people from iRacing that the can’t do the 500 anymore it was iRacing that took out all the other indycar stuff.
      No more broadcasting etc.
      There are many UA-cam videos by iRacing and Indy creators from directly after the announcement who said that.
      So iRacing isn’t completely innocent here.
      I use it and I guess I’m over a thousand dollars into it, but I still whish it would die out and we finally could get a better sim, because the physics of iRacing are just plain bad!

      @@rolux4853 iRacing was required to do all that because of the exclusivity deal. They know one thing. If they put the IndyCar on broadcasts and did Indy 500's, Motorsport Games would have an easy way to sue them and basically leach iRacing's money to stay alive... iRacing is just making sure they never have a good opportunity to do so...

    Any plans to install GP4 by Geoff Crammond? I think you would really enjoy the AI experience with the stock patched GP4 . Its a free download now and it runs very smooth. The races are very unique every time with random failures and random off track excursions by the AI. Its very enteraining and challenging on ACE level. They have not made a better offline experience and season for F1 since this 2001 simulation....in my opinion ofcourse. It even looks pretty good today. Maybe try it?
