Cheat Codes For Nascar Series
NASCAR
Look in your nascar\tracks\taladega directory for a text file called
TALADEGA.TXT.
Approximately 3 lines into the file, there is a line called SPDWY. Change
the first 1 to a 0. Now you can do up to 255 through the straights in good
weather.
NASCAR RACING 2
Hex Cheat
---------
Go to the Nascar 2 directory ( you might have to go thru Sierra first.)
and go to the folder TRACKS, then go to the folder called Taladega, after
that go to the file that looks like a read me file but says Taladega, go
in it and go to speedway, there will be a number 1 and two other numbers,
change the number one to the number 0 and exit. While racing you can reach
speeds of 230 mph.
---------
Game Tips
---------
Cheats for NASCAR 2 are easy. Under the quick Race
menu, just set the opponents strength down to the
lowest it will go, which is 80% and then set the
damage to no car damage, no yellow flags, no
player breakdowns, etc. Have fun, as this applies
to both the quick races AND the season races.
Hope this solves the problem.
All Out Competition
-------------------
If you're getting sick of all of those lapped cars getting
in your way during the race than this is the code for you.
Choose a list from the driver info menu and do as follows:
Choose a driver at the bottom of the list and select INFO.
Select the SKILL menu from under the bio.
Alter the skill settings to match the following:
Endurance--477 [] 563
Car Drag---100 [] 147
Car Power--480 [] 565
Car Trac.--485 [] 569
Repeat this for all drivers.
Now get ready for a race full of close and exciting competition.
NASCAR Heat
Hints:
------
In Heat's arcade-oriented Normal mode, there is no
substitute for raw speed. On the ovals, don't even
worry about slowing down for corners if there's a car
ahead of you, because he'll make a convenient brake.
In fact, finding yourself absolutely surrounded by cars
in a turn is actually a good thing, as they'll essentially
carry you through the turn. And finally, get down low on
the apron for passing, as your car won't bounce about over
the track angle transition point nearly as much as it will
in Expert mode.
If you've overshot a turn in Expert mode, don't feel you
must keep the brake pedal crushed until you've slowed to a
stop. Instead, apply the brakes as you would in a real car,
then let up on them and slowly accelerate through the final
stages of the corner. Not many games allow you to drive your
way out of trouble, but this one does and it's just a great
feeling.
Take care to avoid instances of quarter-panel contact.
If you're tapped there in this game, there's a strong
likelihood you'll spin or temporarily lose control.
Use the whole track. Unlike much of its competition,
NASCAR Heat opens up several passing lanes on each of
its oval circuits, allowing you to pass up high and in
other spots with which you may not be accustomed.
Remember, your AI opponents will slow considerably when
they have to deal with back markers. You, on the other
hand, can smoothly sail on by.
Vortex Damage (Edit File):
--------------------------
Just go to your files folders and open options. txt and
find the line that says vortex damage then change from
no to yes and it should work.NOTE: May take longer to load tracks with vortex on.
NASCAR
Legends
-----
Hints
-----
The bias-ply tires on these historical cars burn at a much faster rate
than modern radials do, and you must adapt to the times or risk losing
every race you enter. For starters, practice your pit-stop routine until
you're able to enter and leave with absolute precision. Second, try
adjusting the tire pressures during pre race practice sessions to
determine which pressure gives the longest life. And finally, modify your
driving style to eliminate tire squeal in the turns. Remember,
nothing slows you down like extra pit stops.
You won't be able to brake nearly as deep or hold your line through a turn
as you would with a modern-day NASCAR car, no matter how hard you try. So
take it easy out there.
Legends' Easy setup is preferable to the Ace setup on several of the
game's shorter courses. On the Easy setting, you won't achieve the same
sort of speeds as you would on the Ace setting,
but you can keep the car calmer and less jittery and hold your line
through turns. And when you're in the thick of traffic in these antique
cars, stability is absolutely essential.
Using the F10 overhead view from a standing start is a pretty good idea,
but you won't want to do it once you're at speed and in the throes of all
those complex Papyrus physics. The overhead view gives you a better idea
of just how close your rivals are as you try to pick up a few positions
before that first turn.

NASCAR
Racing 3
Game Tips:
---------
Things have changed since NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition. Now, drafting past
and out braking a competitor into a turn is no longer a guarantee that he
won't stay with you or attempt
to regain his position in the midst of that turn. Be certain beforehand
that your setup can handle all aspects of a given track's corners, and
adjust your approach to ensure that a fast entry doesn't result in a slow
exit.
As always, a fast frame rate is absolutely essential to properly monitor
your car's position and attitude. If the frame rate isn't totally smooth,
especially in the midst of traffic, go to the graphics options area and
prepare to sacrifice pretty pictures for fast frame transitions.
NASCAR 3 is one of the very few racing titles in which a force-feedback
wheel is actually a driving aid, not just a frivolous perk. If you have
the bucks, take the plunge-just check the reviews of the wheel first and
make sure you're getting a good one.
If you're tinkering with your car, make sure your new setup can survive
the grind of the race distance you choose. There were many times when I'd
settled on a given setup that flew for the first few dozen laps, only to
die later as rubber burned off the right front tire. Don't make the
same mistake.
If you can handle the pitfalls of short, low-banked circuits, chances are
you can handle higher-banked and longer tracks where the driving isn't
quite so frightening. I personally feel that Memphis, a three-quarter-mile
facility with 11-degree banking, is a great baptism by fire.
You would do well to adopt the "Five P" approach: Preparation, patience,
perseverance, pacing, and last but surely not least, practice.

No Restricter Plates At Talladega:
----------------------------------
Note: This involves editing a game file; create a backup copy
of the file before proceeding. Enter the game directory and
find the "tracks/taladega/taladega.txt" file. Use a text editor
to edit this file. Locate the line that starts with "SPDWY" and
change the first number from "1" to "0". Speeds over 230 miles an
hour may now be obtained.
-------------
Ultimate Win:
-------------
To win easy just turn off damage then put the laps way down and
put the cars way down. then you can go backwards and take out the
rest of the field then just finish the race and have no worries.
Competitive races without having to change OPPS (Opponent strength)
Are you tired of having to change the opposition strength in the race
menu every time you race at a different track?
Here's what to do:
First, set the opps within the game to 100%
say were racing at Atlanta. Go to the Atlanta Track
directory(/nascar3/tracks/Atlanta) Create copies of ATLANTA.TXT
(or whatever the track name is) and RECORDS.TXT in the same directory.
open the Atlanta.TXT Scroll down the arcane Capital letter words like
TNAME, SPEEDW, LENGT. There are only a couple lines you can change
without inviting Armaggedon. LAPS: how many laps are in a full length
race
QUAL:how many qualifying laps there are. DONT CHANGE THE FIRST NUMBER.
THERE SHOULD BE TWO. the first number is only a place-holder.
BLAP:The average qualifying time for the computer cars, x 1000(so if
the times are 23.456 secoonds, they would show up as 23456)Find your
average qual time and enter this in to be able to qualify near the
middle of the pack.
RELS:Same as opposition strength(if you had both RELS and OPPS at 97%,
the cars would travel at 97% of 97%, or 94% at that track)
NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition
Faster Taladega speeds:
-----------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of
the file before proceeding. Enter the game directory and find the "tracks/taladega/taladega.txt"
file.
Use a text editor to edit this file. Locate the line that starts with "SPDWY"
and change the first number from "1" to "0". Speeds over 230 miles an hour
may now be obtained.
Hints:
------
Tip: There are no "tricks" to becoming a good NASCAR driver. As in the
real world, it takes perseverance and hour upon hour of seat time. And a
good, long examination of the wonderful
manual/strategy guide is something you must do.
Tip: If you can perfect your line on a given track so that it rarely, if
ever, varies, you've gone a long way toward mastering the smoothness and
consistency this game requires. Furthermore, once you've begun your garage
work, you need to know that extra half second was the result of better
tinkering, not better driving.
Tip: When making modifications to your car, always make just one or two at
a time--that way you'll know what helped and what didn't. Also, save each
newly altered car under a new
filename or you'll be screwed faster than Bill Clinton.
Tip: When it comes to controlling high-end racing Sims, joysticks blow. Go
out and get yourself a good wheel-and-pedal unit. Right now.
Tip: Of all the data the game supplies, perhaps the most critical is the
tire temperatures. What you want your setup to do is keep them even across
the width of each tire after a bunch of hot laps. Doing so means more
rubber is contacting the ground, and your tires, in all likelihood, will
last longer and be more effective. Of course, a lot of factors go into
even tire temps, so don't be disappointed if it takes you some time,
perhaps several hours or more, to get it right.
Tip: On the track, a fast frame rate is absolutely fundamental for
detecting minor fluctuations early enough to correct them. Turn off
nonessential graphics options or use the game as a good
excuse to upgrade your computer or video card.
Tip: Starting a race with no pace lap means you'll get a good chance at
picking up lots of early positions.
NASCAR Racing 2000
Hints:
------
You can't go banging and crashing with impunity, but a well-placed thump
on a competitor's door will generally not send you into a spin and is
encouraged as a way of forcefully pushing your way through turns.
If you have enough free disk space, go with a full install to eliminate CD
access delays when racing.
For rookie and veteran drivers alike, the most important pre race screen
is the one marked "AI Strength." Here you can fully tailor the realism and
tune the level of assistance you require. Sliding controls govern several
key areas, including drafting effect, horsepower, car balance, opponent
strength, and speed-sensitive steering. In essence, you can make the game
as easy or difficult,
authentic or "action oriented" as you want. You cannot effectively judge
the capabilities of NASCAR 2000 without fully exploring these options.
EA Sports and Stormfront have really upgraded the game manual for the
latest NASCAR. Use it wisely and pay particular attention to the "In the
Garage" section it really does help you get faster.
NASCAR
Revolution
Game Tips
--------
Tip 1
-----
If you think you're going to brush up against another car,
simply pull your foot off the accelerator. Without the
pedal depressed, your car won't fall into a spin as easily.
Tip 2
-----
EA Sports' NASCAR cars have far less braking ability than
the Papyrus variety. Prepare even earlier for corners, and
do what you can in the garage to enhance your stopping
ability.
Tip 3
-----
Don't ever, ever place a wheel on the grass. The quite
possibly airborne consequences can be inordinately horrific.
