If you like racing games, you play them probably for the speed and variety of tracks. How can thus take the game Nascar Racing, which, as the name suggests, is dedicated to the American Nascar racing? When testing this game, I was quite skeptical, I expected only a simple boring races on the track and nothing more. However, the game offers so much more. The tracks change only graphically and otherwise it's still the same racing oval, the game offers a number of options elsewhere. You can freely paint your car and really the paint options are almost limitless. Before each race you have to properly set up your car, choose the appropriate weight distribution, and many other settings that help you win races. Races are done very realistically and you can even use the air cushions, if you drive tightly behind your opponents. ASCAR Racing was a major commercial success. Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, and stated that "it's the game's astounding ability to create a realistic feeling of speed that makes it an incredible hit. Flying around the tracks at 170 mph and up will make you respect those drivers who do this for a living. Definitely a winner."
