Some people will find NFS painfully BORING after running each track
once because you cannot modify or setup the cars.  The real challenge
in NASCAR is the car set-up.  Set-up and modification are what give
games good replay value.  However, I can appreciate NFS for what it
is.  When I just want to jump in and blast around, NFS is a lot of
fun.  But long term I get much more enjoyment out of NASCAR.  The
difference is actually pretty simple.  NFS is a arcade style GAME
where as NASCAR is really a SIMULAION.  They are both excellent games
in their own right, but appeal to different people.

I have tried but I can't drive in the opposite direction.  I am
playing the PC Gamer CD demo.  When I try it I get thrown out ( as if
I ended the game).  I havn't been able to pull the extra lap deal off
yet either.
