Colours Pop!
Staffer Tony Gardner announces that they have adjusted the color tone in the sim and, (maybe?) fixed the yellow color tones many have complained about.
Tony Gardner Posts:
For a while now we’ve been too a little too warm in tone, and the sun has overpowered the color mix too significantly, while the blueness of the sky was washed out. We fixed this and the fix went out in today’s patch.
The “yellow” world complaint should be gone or minimized and the colors do definitely pop more now and it looks better.

2022 NIS – All Three Tiers
Nick Neben posted in the forums that he thinks it’s time to expand the NIS series to the Xfinity cars and Gander Trucks
Nick Neben Posts:
Ok, with the NextGen taking over for NIS in 2022 I know there are going to be some people who miss regular stock car racing. This isn’t a dig at the NextGen car, just the style it provides is not fun to some.
With current member number shooting way up, I think it is time to offer NIS – Cup, NIS – Xfinity, and NIS – Truck
Cup would stay the same and run 50% races with the special 100% races
Xfinity would run 100% races with Xfinity schedule (would usually be the same laps as NIS Cup)
Trucks would run 100% races as well from their schedule offering a shorter race of the three but longer than the regular weekly series.
Running Xfinity and Trucks at 100% would offer something different than the regular open series, and we don’t often get full races with these two series. If you tried to shorten them to 50% it would end up the same as the regular series and not offer anything different. I believe most people run NIS for the longer races.
