<p></p>
<p align="justify"><em><b>Raeburn:</b> There are 31 championships which cover motorsports such as Open Wheel Grand Prix, Truck Racing, Open Wheel Oval Racing, Rally, Rallycross, Ice-Racing, Formula Ford, Classic Racing, Convertible Racing, Street Racing, GT Racing, Hot Rod Racing and Performance Cars.

<p align="justify">Il sito di <a href="http://www.gamingnexus.com/Review.asp?ID=350&amp;page=1" rel="external">Gaming Nexus</a> ha pubblicato una completa recensione del recente <a href="http://www.gamingnexus.com/Review.asp?ID=350&amp;page=1" rel="external">IndyCar Series</a>: il titolo della Codemasters viene giudicato con un voto finale di 7,5. Un buon gioco, ma non certo un simulatore.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"><em>Some day I will get good enough to race with the AI drivers, but by that time I will expect a more realistic and immersive simulation, and I will again find this product lacking. This is not to say that it wonâ€™t be fun, because it probably will. But I will never be able to shake the feeling that Iâ€™m playing a console game, rather than sitting in a high powered, finely tuned racing machine barreling along at over 200 mph. Thatâ€™s a damn shame.</em></p>

<p></p>
<p align="justify">E' disponibile sul <a href="http://www.horbra.de/winmip/Winmip2.htm" rel="external">sito ufficiale</a> la nuova versione 2.16.0 dell'utility <a href="http://www.horbra.de/winmip/Winmip2.htm" rel="external">WinMip</a>, molto comoda per l'apertura e l'editing dei vari files grafici dei titoli targati Papyrus, da Grand Prix Legends fino al recente Nascar Racing 2003. EccoÂ le novitÃ  di questa release:</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify">#CONTINUE#</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"><em>All changes, additions and improvements only refer to NR2003.<br>- Added support for tga files on the WinMip surface and the car file editor. Not yet for the batch conversion.<br>- Added support for a priority flag in NR2003 mips. The priority determins how many miplevels are dropped compared to other mips when necessary.<br>- Added possibility to use WinMip2 as a surface for the Papytools Makemip and Makestp.<br>For the usage of these additions please read the respective sections in the manual "WinMip 2 Help".</em></p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"><em>IMPROVEMENTS AND BUGFIXES<br>- Improved texture compression code for type-11 mips.<br>- Removed possibility to set the number of subimages, for the mips wouldnÂ´t show in game when the number is not set correctly when using the Open GL rasterizer. Now only all or no subimages are selectable.<br>- Reduced the RAM consumption when unpacking dat files which should prevent WinMip from hanging on systems with low RAM when unpacking big dat files.<br>- Fixed a bug not converting type-7 mips to bmp when the batch conversion is used.<br>- Fixed a bug not converting bmps with additional alpha maps to stps when the batch conversion is used</em></p>

<p align="justify">Potete leggere sul sito di <a href="http://www.racesimcentral.com/articles/reviews/consoles/nt2004/index.shtml" rel="external">Racesim Central</a> una completa recensione del recente <a href="http://www.racesimcentral.com/articles/reviews/consoles/nt2004/index.shtml" rel="external">Nascar Thunder 2004</a> in versione Playstation 2: il titolo EA Sports viene giudicato con un voto di 3,5 come simulazione, mentre con un 5 pieno come semplice gioco.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="justify"><em>I really enjoy NASCAR Thunder 2004 as EA has crammed just about anything and everything NASCAR has to offer into this racing gem. If things are going the way they appear to be going, NASCAR Thunder '05 may very well become the first true racing simulator on the console. Until then NASCAR Thunder 2004 is the king of the console racing landscape.</em></p>
