About this product

Product Information

Sierra's NASCAR Legends takes a look back at the heyday of the sport of NASCAR racing during its formative period. The year is 1970, and drivers such as A.J. Foyt, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison are tearing up tracks at Alabama International Motor Speedway, Bristol International Speedway, Darlington Raceway and other places which are now well-known names for NASCAR fans. Back then, though, media coverage was minimal (ABC signed on to broadcast races on its network but showed none of them in their entirety) and drivers worked with minimal crews and struggled to get corporate sponsorship. It's this intense atmosphere that you can drop yourself into and race alongside some of the greatest of all time. Twenty of the best drivers are here along with 16 tracks and 3D models of the Mercury Cyclones, Plymouth Superbirds, Dodge Daytonas and other cars which were in use at the time. You can recreate that historic 1970 season and see if you can come out on top. Before you race, head into the body shop for some finishing touches on your car. Don't like the paint job? That's okay -- you can redo everything from the colors to the decals. Want to tweak the specs? Go ahead and play with everything from the gear ratios to the screw jacks to the pressure in each tire. When you're done, you can try out a few single races to see how your car feels before going for the Championship Season. As in the real 1970 season, you earn points depending on how you finish each race; the driver with the most points at the end is the winner. Feel like the CPU drivers are too easy? Then get online and join a race over the internet or a LAN. Go up against your friends and chat while you're doing so. You can set up to 10 pre-scripted messages to send to other drivers while you race. As you race you can watch replays of the best moves and most dangerous crashes and save them to your hard drive for later viewing. In the instant replay viewer you can fast-forward, rewind, and even clip out your favorite moments for posterity. Finally, racers can tweak settings such as damage, racing rules, the size of the field and the abilities of the CPU opponents to suit their tastes. Some may want as realistic an experience as possible while others may want Arcade-like action; both extremes are available to satisfy the needs of the hardcore fan or the casual racing gamer.
