Dopo il rilascio dell'attesa patch 1.1.0.2 in versione beta per Nascar Racing 2003 Season, che presenta alcuni problemi nel multiplayer (in pratica è impossibile collegarsi ai servers di gioco), sul forum ufficiale della Sierra è apparso un comunicato di spiegazioni:

So in conclusion, the 1.1.0.2 patch is the real deal, and is with 99.99% certainty the final version of the NR2003 patch. At this time it could be considered to be an unsupported "open beta" and should be working online in the coming days. There will surely be an official announcement at such time that it is officially supported and publicly available for download.
I'm not trying to make any excuses, and I'm the first to admit that it was a complete and utter debacle on nearly all levels. I don't want to publicly point fingers and lay out blame, but the patch has been out of Papyrus' hands for quite some time. In the end it really boils down to a simple lack of communication.
