sprintcarfan12 i'd say it still is since there are close to zero games that have come close to being on the same level, IRacing doesn't count since it's made using NR2003's base code
+John Delamater IT began in 2008 using some of the NR2003 code, but in the 8 years since, its been almost completely re-written, its a totally different game now.
lot of childhood memories with nascar 99, my older sister still talks about how I beat her in reverse lol NR4 and NR2003 are the only papyrus/sierra nascar games I've had, I fell in love with them, 10/10. too bad the company fell through and lost their licensing for nascar, they made the best ones.
2:05 I had that game! I didn't get to play it much, but I still loved it. It was definitely ahead of its time, putting the other series in there to race in.
i cant believe i saw Dirt to Daytona and Total Team Control on here I remember my brother in '13 playing his top of the line CS:GO and me addicted to that
Nascar 06 is what every new nascar should be based off of. 4 series to work through with voice recognition and team strategy and control. BEST ONE EVER in my opinion
For the longest time all I had was NASCAR 99 and NASCAR Heat for PS1. Now the only console NASCAR games I don't have are NASCAR 98 and NASCAR Thunder 2003... until the Eutechnyx games came out. Of those I don't have the original NASCAR: The Game, NASCAR 2013, or NASCAR 14.
+Midget54 I grew up with all of the console games, and Thunder 2003 was definitely the best NASCAR game EA Sports made. It was all downhill from there. Don't bother with the original NASCAR: The Game. It was filled with bugs, unless you got all the updates and patches. NR2003 was the highlight of the "evolution." (until iRacing). I still play '03 all the time.
David Daniel Is Thunder 2004 part of the down hill trend? I mean shit that game was packed to the brim with detail and content I wouldn't think it was a downgrade...
PS1 Nascar Racing Is The 1st TV Nascar Game With Your Favorite Legendary Drivers Like Rusty Walllace, And Sterling Marlin. Plus You Get To Make Your Own Car!
brings back memories man, but it sucks there has been no graphics change between 2011 and 2015 nascar games, let's hope dmi/dmr can make a game worth playing again
NR 2003, Nascar 2005 Chase for the Cup, Nascar '09, Nascar 2011, Nascar inside Line. Those are the best Nascar game easy. iRacing of course takes the cake though.
I had 2001 Thunder 2002,2003,2004, Chase for the cup 2005, 06 TTC, 07, 08, 09 All for the PS2 and Gran Turismo 3 and 4 and a Few NHRA Games and Flatout 2. I had the most racing games for Ps2. Right until it broke :( I use a gaming PC as of today.
NTG: 2011 was the bridge between looking like a video game to looking like real life. Sure the Etx games had their problems, but you had to admit, they were still good. I had a lot of fun on NTG: IL all the way up to N15, I'm looking forward to Heat Evolution though, I've even been playing D2D recently because the same team is making Heat Evolution. My personal favorite games, in order, are: Dirt to Daytona NASCAR '15 NASCAR 06 Total Team Control NASCAR The Game: Inside Line
Well said. They did do a pretty good job all things considered. Glitches and all, I still played all the ETX games a ton. But like you, I've been playing Dirt to Daytona a lot as well! I hope Heat Evolution can capture some of that same magic.
Now if papyrus and sierra were around we would've had the Best Nascar Franchise games for the PC and even the consoles. They probably would make other related Motorsport racing games as well like Le man's, ALMS, IMSA, GT3, GT1, F1 Etc. Nobody would even come close to their 2003 game.
Put Lightning McQueen no. 95, Strip Weathers no. 43, Chick Hicks no. 86, Doc (The Fabulous Hudson Hornet no. 51) from Cars Xbox 360 video game and Junior Moon, Louise Nash and River Scott from Cars 3: Driven To Win in a Nascar 06 video game right away please? I want to see it on a 100% longplay video.
Nascar Thunder 2005 was the last great Nascar game, it was all downhill from there. Hopefully DMI games gives fans a truly immersive Nascar title this year, and learns from the mistakes made by Eutechnyx.
Nascar 2001 Is The 1st Game With Fire When You Go The Wrong Way, Its Very Easy To Wreck People In PS2 Edition, But Pheonix Is The Only Track You Can Wreck People In PS1 Edition.
I used to play Nascar 1999 by Papyrus all the time and then I got Thunder 2003 for GameCube and literally grew up with that game. Me and my cousin would play it and that is the game I have the most fondest memories of as a kid. I played some others like 04, 05, and 06 but didn't play any others until I tried nascar 14. It was an ok game because it was the closest thing to real life but it got kind of boring. I hope Heat Evolution is going to be good tho but I'd love to see 2k take the NASCAR franchise and reinvent it into something really good. Like an extensive career mode or a team owner "franchise" mode where you own 3 or 4 cars and hire drivers to see how well they preform throughout the year and that makes you progress through your game. Kind of my dream nascar game but it will probably never happen lol.
It's pretty obvious that Papyrus/Sierra was way ahead of it's time
lol true, plz sign up for my series!
Joel Miles waaaaaaay
Still are I mean although Iracing is extremely over priced it's phenomenal
Well, they were making the games for PC too...
iRacing is a PITA and expensive af so I rather play modded NR2003/NR2018, I got the original disc for 2.99 back in 2005 😂
nascar 2003 season for the PC is by far the best nascar game ever made. Sierra knew how to make nascar games.
+sprintcarfan12 it's funny, to this day it's still viewed as such by most of the sim racing community, it's base code is even still used in IRacing
John Delamater It was way ahead of its time, that's for sure.

sprintcarfan12 yep true
Nascar Thunder 2002 is when they turned a corner for sure
And yet still looks better than NASCAR '14
+Brian Glennon do u mean.graphics or game play
+Jack Johnson yeah for sure
I'm getting closer to my hoooooommmmeee
5:08
*And so, the legend was born.*
Yeup
something's telling me this dude is getting closer to his home
My dad and I played the shit out of Nascar Chase for the Cup 2005 and Nascar 2007
I wonder what a game by Papyrus and Sierra would look like today
bltxploda probably look alot like iracing does i would assume
I think a lot of those people helped with iracing, so probably that.
Iracing has most of the people that worked on nr2003
Iracing has most of the people that worked on nr2003
+bltxploda NASCAR 16...dunesberry martin or whoever bought them both
NASCAR 09 was my favorite growing up
Comming back to this video after 6 years
I remember Playing Thunder 03 when I was just a wee little child. That was so much fun.
Gosh, I remember NASCAR Rumble! I would play it on my PlayStation 1 as a kid
So many memories playing them NT2003 and NR were always my favs and i still do em today
Wow starting at NASCAR legends my childhood was all coming back to me
nascar 1999 looks really fun.
lot of childhood memories with nascar 99, my older sister still talks about how I beat her in reverse lol NR4 and NR2003 are the only papyrus/sierra nascar games I've had, I fell in love with them, 10/10. too bad the company fell through and lost their licensing for nascar, they made the best ones.
Nr2003 my favorite NASCAR game of all time I have had it since 2010 I got it do Christmas and I have loved it since.
2:05 I had that game! I didn't get to play it much, but I still loved it. It was definitely ahead of its time, putting the other series in there to race in.
NASCAR 06 was my first play.
i cant believe i saw Dirt to Daytona and Total Team Control on here I remember my brother in '13 playing his top of the line CS:GO and me addicted to that
They HAVE to make a modern version ofthe nascar legends game
This brings back a crap ton of memories
Nascar 06 is what every new nascar should be based off of. 4 series to work through with voice recognition and team strategy and control. BEST ONE EVER in my opinion
Watching Nascar Thunder 2002 brings back sooo many memories. That was my first NASCAR game!
I found "NASCAR Racing 2" at a thrift store.
Wow 2003 thunder was way ahead of its time . i loved that game but it was so hard to win a championship
Im glad this ended on iRacing, although its some pretty old footage of the game.
NASCAR Thunder 2004...my first NASCAR game, in my opinion, still the best NASCAR game. So many memories, man!
+Josh Malecki same...i play it all the time
+Josh Malecki my first one was either NASCAR 2005, or Nr2003... could've been Nr'99 as well, not sure which one but it was one of those
NASCAR 2011 was my game of my young ;D
For the longest time all I had was NASCAR 99 and NASCAR Heat for PS1. Now the only console NASCAR games I don't have are NASCAR 98 and NASCAR Thunder 2003... until the Eutechnyx games came out. Of those I don't have the original NASCAR: The Game, NASCAR 2013, or NASCAR 14.
Midget54 I use to have all the console game too from way back. Always got them the first day they were available in retail stores. lol
+Midget54 I grew up with all of the console games, and Thunder 2003 was definitely the best NASCAR game EA Sports made. It was all downhill from there. Don't bother with the original NASCAR: The Game. It was filled with bugs, unless you got all the updates and patches.

David Daniel Is Thunder 2004 part of the down hill trend? I mean shit that game was packed to the brim with detail and content I wouldn't think it was a downgrade...
Midget54 I'm sorry, that's the one I meant! With Stewart on the cover. Thanks for correcting me. I loved that game.
David Daniel Cool cool :)
Richard Petty's talladega is by far the best nascar game ever made!
Andretti racing deserves an honarable mention even though it also had open wheelers in it as well.
Nascar Legends Has The Most Legendary Nascar Drivers From The 1st Years Of Nascar.
I remember playing nascar dirt to thunder that used to be the best game in my opinion
You used the Ps1 version for NT2004 !? Hell Yeah ! I played the hell out of It as a Kid, Nice one
I never realized how weird Nascar 08 Looked on PS3 I only ever saw it on PS2
PS1 Nascar Racing Is The 1st TV Nascar Game With Your Favorite Legendary Drivers Like Rusty Walllace, And Sterling Marlin. Plus You Get To Make Your Own Car!
I one day want to own every NASCAR game out there. Will take a long time, but I think I can do it.
brings back memories man, but it sucks there has been no graphics change between 2011 and 2015 nascar games, let's hope dmi/dmr can make a game worth playing again
at 3:26 it's Joseph Lombard
i watched that video too
Nascar Rumble was my shit back in the PS1 days
Matson29 I grew up with nt2003
I grew up late but i grew with the 2011 versione
I always thought EA had some of the best Nascar games, good graphics, ok physics and had some of the coolest modes and options for their games
HOW DOES THUNDER 2003 LOOK SO NICE 4:47
Pretty sad when the 2003 games (NR 2003 and Thunder) are both better than anything made after them...
NR 2003, Nascar 2005 Chase for the Cup, Nascar '09, Nascar 2011, Nascar inside Line. Those are the best Nascar game easy. iRacing of course takes the cake though.
The only game I had was NASCAR Chase for the Cup 2005
+Futuwa RikozTakoz was one of the first ones i played, damn good game for an arcade racer
I had 2001 Thunder 2002,2003,2004, Chase for the cup 2005, 06 TTC, 07, 08, 09 All for the PS2 and Gran Turismo 3 and 4 and a Few NHRA Games and Flatout 2. I had the most racing games for Ps2. Right until it broke :( I use a gaming PC as of today.

It will....

+EMPiiRE How? Please enlighten me.
As you can see, he had no facts to back up his comment.
It'll at least be far beyond better than the ETX games.

Nascar Racing 3 Is A 1999 Season Game With Real Damage And Crazy Crashes

From "Wow, look at this game in 2009" to "What the hell happened in 2011" very quickly.

jmoneycox thanks jm
5:10 this is a game known by all fans of nascar games: NR2003
You should have done the PS1 version of NASCAR 2001 and then the PS2 version of NASCAR Thunder 2004, since it looks like NT2004 was a setback.
