For the people who download the Legacy Gamer's Union repack: IGNORE THE PDF'S ADVICE! YOU WILL JUST RUN INTO ISSUES! Follow the guide from @SHADAOLE and remove the DgVoodoo DLLs. Do note that compatibility settings are not needed, and I tested and confirmed it works without compatibility settings.

Hey everyone, I've had a project for a few years now making new installers for old PC games; NASCAR - SimRacing is one of the games I've restored
Come check out Legacy Gamer's Union on Discord for this game and plenty of others that actually work on Windows 10/11

Senator Blackfish, you need to mount the second disk in order to continue installing the game. Use an image mounter such as VirtualCloneDrive or WinCDEmu to mount the second disk, then continue installing the game.

As a tip: if you have GTR2 it's even possible to use the 3dconfig.exe from GTR2 (which is also based on the Image Space Engine) for NASCAR SimRacing and the game runs fine without problems. You don't need exactly a older NASCAR Thunder 2004 3dconfig.exe, just a one based of the Image Space developed games like F1 Challenge 99-02 or GTR 2.

Unable to "install" the game.

The download includes two large .iso files in the zip folder: NSR-CD1.iso and NSR-CD2.iso.
I use an application called "gburner" to open the iso files and extract them.
I first extracted each .iso file to two different folders (one for each file). This was ineffective.
I then extracted both .iso files to one single folder. This also didn't work.

When I click on the "setup.exe" -after extracting the .iso files- a message prompts me to put a CD in the drive. There is no physical CD. Utilizing the noCD crack doesn't work because noCD cracks only function and are applicable AFTER a game is installed.

I can't install this game because I am prompted to insert a CD in order to install the game.

Do add more to my previous post.
Download or acquire the video config file from NASCAR Thunder 03 or 04 or F1 Challenge 99-02

Then rename to 3dsetup.exe
Put in the game folder and it should over write the 3dsetup.exe already there. Or you can delete that first.
Then follow the instructions from the previous link to race SIM central.

To run this game on Windows 10 you should get the 3DConfig.exe files from Nascar Thunder 2003 iso and then paste to installation folder. Next, you can delete or just rename the default 3DSetup.exe and then rename 3Dconfig.exe from NT2003 to 3DSetup.exe. Dont forget to turn on "Windows XP SP3" compatibility mode both for the 3Dsetup.exe and NASCAR SimRacing.exe. I already tested and played without any problem on my Windows 10, Core i5 + Radeon RX470. The only downside we dont have widescreen and the the screen resolution stuck at 1280x1024 just like back in the day, but everything worked really well.

I'm not 100% certain but in the day I had a problem running this game on Vista.
I think the solution was to copy the NASCAR Thunder 04 or 03? Into this games directory back up the SIM racing original exe (just in case) and rename the thunder exe exactly same (word for word) as the sun racing exe.

This game can work on modern Windows if you install it on Windows XP and run the 3dconfig program and then copy the installation to your modern Windows as the 3dconfig is the only thing blocking it from working

Hi. there probably isn't a way to make it run on windows 10. However you can use windows virtual machine or virtual box and download the windows xp iso somewhere.
