I know it's been discussed before very often.

I'd like to see oval racing because I enjoyed NR2003 so much. (Which was a big surprise, as I had never been an oval racing fan before I played that game.)

But an extra reason I'd like to see stock car racing on ovals in the game is that it's a great way to highlight the brilliance of the LFS physics model. It seems to me that a poor physics model, like say GT4, can fool people into believing it's realistic when they're driving a car around a track with plenty of corners, because they at least have to make some braking and steering inputs. But when you put a GT4 car onto an oval, it becomes plain even to credulous players that the physics are awful, because the experience is just so dull. (Rubber band trick anybody?) What made NR2003 great, from my point of view, was that it got me to appreciate that there actually is some subtlety and car control required for oval racing: it's not just mashing the loud pedal.

Trying to keep a heavy, high-powered stock car out of the wall on an oval perhaps a bit more interesting (i.e., shorter) than the Kyoto Ring would be one more demonstration of LFS's physics supremacy, I think.

My point exactly!

I'd like the chance to beat all you yanks and rednecks at your own game.
But we'd need the american national anthem played before the start of the warm up laps, and I mean from "Oh say can you see" all the way through to "Gentlemen, start your engines!", and of course a spotter going "Git to her, boy, ye can shure'z ol'hell take'r passs dat dang slow piece-o'-junk, 'slong as ye keep'r from wreckin' ya"

LOL... thats not what I meant in this suggestion...

I care less on anthems... just the driving part!

The reason on this post is... NR2003 has major lag on 56K..... LFS has 'less' lag on 56k (I joined and finished a 17person race)

I would like to produce my own renders for my DeviantART.Com Cars.

My major probem is though, how and where do I get my cars into 3DStudio...

sorry!

What is the possibility of having a Nascar, SASCAR, SCAR of other form of stock car added to LFS?

It would be nice to also see competitive oval racing in this genre on a couple large tracks!

Just a suggestion... as most Nascar sims seem to have a massive bandwidth requirement and LFS runs just fine on the net!

[Edit Added Below]:

Oval is not JUST american... South Africa = SASCAR (with like one oval 6 tracks) - UK have their own stocks too I think! So do various other countrie.. You are all infected with oval freaks)

Cool suggestions from replies:

You think + Small Ovals (0.5mile Bristol example) <-- also those freaky banks
You think + Craftsment Truck Chassis (StockTruck?l)

I think: + add Superspeedway (topspeed track)
I think: + banked small Dirt oval (or tri-oval :: maybe even a Rectoval)
I think: + Quartermidget/Midget and Dirt Stocks(definition?)
