I actually quite like Nascar games, and I thought EA's last attempt, Nascar 09, was pretty good, although many would disagree.
FC was a fairly decent racer, never brought SC:C, and maybe Bob can shed any light on the new, downloadable F, is it worth a purchase if you have the original?.
But I just hope that this doesn't turn into a really arcadey game, and has the elements to at least match, if not exceed Nascar 09.
