 GameSpy.com - Review
Much like horse racing, NASCAR is often criticized as not being a real sport because the athletes are really the vehicles, not the humans controlling them.
The problem with this argument is that most people have never sat behind the wheel of a car going 200 MPH for 400 laps, where just about everyone has tossed a football around or shot hoops.
If EA's NASCAR Thunder 2003 is any indication, staying in control of a stock car is no easy task and the participants in the sport should be commended, if only for their ability to remained focused.

 Featuring NASCAR Thunder 2003 Review at ActionTrip
NASCAR Thunder 2003 is the latest title in the serial, and it appeared for all modern gaming consoles and PC.
Players who never before played a NASCAR simulation will have to spend some more time adapting to the game, as the cars here behave a bit different than the cars in other driving simulations.
The large number of different tracks, some of the greatest names in racing and the smell of petrol you "feel" after being in the cockpit for some time are reason enough to play this game.

 Nascar Racing 2003 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In real NASCAR, a healthy budget for creative cheats and engineering the living crap out of your chassis and engine tend to fudge the process a bit, but even so the sport is remarkably competitive.
NASCAR Racing from Papyrus gives teams no budgets and there’s no way to cheat, so it really is down completely to the skill of the driver.
I mean, with the F1 rule changes and the turn-prohibiting nature of road courses (since you have to sacrifice the line to pass, or risk a pass by forcing yourself into a lane), it’s pretty much the only racing that has any passing left.

 GameSpy: NASCAR Thunder 2003 Review
File NASCAR Thunder 2003 under "What the heck were they thinking?" It's not that it's a horrible game, though parts of it are indeed lousy.
Gone is the extensive and deep career mode with the sponsorships, crew management, and R&D. Gone are the "lightning mode" challenges that let you relive historic racing moments, introduced by the actual drivers that were involved.
NASCAR Thunder 2003's manual is generally superior, too, with more numerous and useful tips for both on-track tactics and off-track tweaking.

 NASCAR Thunder 2003 Review - PlayStation 2
NASCAR is the world of endless left turns, which seems like it would be pretty easy to make a game based around it and difficult to make improvements enough to warrant buying the one that comes out “next year”.
Thunder 2003 definitely proved me WAY wrong, and I really was amazed at how different this one really is. NASCAR 98 got me into watching NASCAR, and this one is the type of game to get new racing players into watching it religiously as well.
The realism aspect is awesome for someone like me who lives, breathes, and eats racing and NASCAR … but a younger player or novice to automobiles or racing may be kind of overwhelmed when they toss it in for the first time.

 The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews: NASCAR Thunder 2003
NASCAR Thunder 2003 (NT2003) gives gamers the opportunity to experience a realistic driver’s perspective on a race, as opposed to other EA Sports titles where the game engine is built around the announcers and their perspective.
It certainly is impressive, but some people will be distracted by not having the play-by-play to know what’s going on ahead of them.
All in all, NASCAR Thunder 2003 is a very realistic simulation game, and those who are looking for an in-depth title will be satisfied, but those looking for a pick-up and play title will be disappointed.
