You can also take your car out for testing sessions to experiment with different setups. You can enter quick races or compete in a full season, with each race featuring multiple sessions: practice, qualifying, happy hour, and the actual race. NASCAR Thunder 2003 also features the core gameplay modes you'd expect from a sim-style racer.
You can race on twenty-four tracks and enter multiple real-world races on each one, like the MBNA America 500 and Napa 500 at Atlanta, for example. You get the real-world cars and drivers, including the late Dale Earnhardt. On the bright side, NASCAR Thunder 2003 does offer the sorts of basic features you'd expect from a licensed NASCAR title. Basically, this hobbled version of NASCAR Thunder 2003 doesn't stand a chance against the competition. That wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have the unenviable task of competing against one of the most prestigious racing series in recent years, Papyrus' superb NASCAR Racing. While the console versions (created by a different developer) include all sorts of colorful and interesting game modes, this PC version is a very straightforward, formulaic racing game. PC version of the game has been inexplicably watered down from the console versions, with many of the most interesting features removed. Animations include pre-race fly-bys, driver celebrations, trophy presentations, and fireworks displays. Six new infield courses, a 1950's Daytona Beach track, and one Super Speedway Course have been included along with 23 Winston Cup tracks. Multiplayer options include head-to-head competition for up to 16 players over a LAN or the Internet. Drivers prepare their cars for each race by adjusting flares, rear spoiler angles, gears, suspension, the anti-roll bar, and tire pressure.
Vehicle performance has been changed to be more realistic: tire performance depends on wear and tear, the handling and suspension has been changed, and the collision physics have been tweaked as well. NASCAR Thunder 2003 brings all the action of Winston Cup Racing to the PC.
