Release Date: August 31, 2004
NASCAR: SimRacing is another proposal from the Electronic Arts sports division. It is worth mentioning that this company has secured exclusivity for the release of NASCAR racing games. Despite the fact that the 2005 edition was produced mainly for the owners of the latest consoles, the PC conversion was aimed at fans of the competitive NASCAR Racing series.
NASCAR® SimRacing™ has been redefined specifically for the unique tastes of the PC gaming community. Featuring the top three NASCAR Series - the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, NASCAR Busch Series, and NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series - NASCAR SimRacing gives you the full experience of the track. Take on racing’s biggest challenge in the all-new Career Mode, where you battle your way through the different series against the NASCAR elite. Or, choose your favorite series and take on a full pack of 800 horse-powered monsters—the authentic sights and sounds of NASCAR racing will blow you away. See it, feel it, hear it... authentic NASCAR.
