Is this where the NR2003 Community is?

Black Flags Matter is an incredibly popular NASCAR influencer, many viewers likely have little interest in the actual event occurring and are simply watching to show appreciation toward one of their favorite YouTubers. I will say that I’ve noticed recently that Darien has been i guess you could say ‘advertising’ NR2003 along with iRacing after the recent failures of NASCAR Ignition. Hopefully this turns into many new members coming to NR2003 and the community can continue to grow.
It's less "NR2003" community and more "NASCAR Youtuber" community.
whether I can or can't, it's that I do

"influencer" is not a part of my lexicon unless it has to do with the discriminant of a polynomial or piece of calculus.
As someone who's in two Offline leagues (NSDCA and TM Master Cup), I have to say that its just fun to watch and have fun with a community.
The community, much like the game, has grown. And if the community is open, it'll attract more.
And the thing is, being Open to all.

watching TM Master Cup and the ARLA Series is what got me interested in NR in the first place and i took part in a few offline leagues before i got the game. i race in online leagues now but even years later i still watch the AI
there is zero issue in watching the AI, whether you can drive or not

I think NR2003 will always be a small community compared to other games but retains an everlasting core group of players, painters, and viewers (mod/track creation has been very low for several years though). Its not really ever going to be a thing where NR2003 will 'die' becasue of its graphics. Just look at the 1999 Roller Coaster Tycoon series, its still ultra popular as ever as player have the openrct2 version, that game is literally just sprites but the gameplay is what keeps everyone around, I see NR2003 as the same.
As for user engagement, I get more youtube views for my ICR series vids on my own channel and engagement than expected which is cool. NR2003 is one of those games its fun to play but also watch too. Like the last 365 days on my channel I pretty much have a baseline daily views of 30-90 which again, for some obscure NR2003 dedicated channel isn't that bad. I only post 1 new race video like every week: (lifetime channel since I created it in late 2019 is already at 20k views).
Not everyone wants to race online either, I'm sure I'd make a decent driver that races clean but I have no interest in trying to be competitive and get on at certain times when I play NR2003. Instead I play for a challenge in offline racing while also having fun racing in my own series' of painted cars and see how it all unfolds.
There really just isn't another modern Nascar game that replicates the exact needs some players want that NR2003 offers. iracing is a hardcore cockpit only sim that you have to pay forever and race against jerks and you don't 'own' the game ever. Then the more arcade games still aren't living up to the classic Nascar Thunder 03/04' days and are just as much as a disappointment currently. I still can't believe a game from almost 2 decades ago is still the better option when technology and detail for game creation has never been more amazing and we can't get a racing game quite like NR2003 still. I'm not complaining though. I have the mod tools and resources to self create content for NR2003 and as long as the game runs on modern machines or I can run it through a virtual machine I'll keep enjoying it until the day some better comes (if ever).

You mean it's just like GPL, there is a small community of about 50,000 guys world wide who still play the sim regardless of what's out now.
I've been messing around with rFactor 2's stock cars and I must say it's got everything NR2K3S had and more as long as you're willing to put a little work into it, not unlike working with NR2K3S to meet todays schemes, track layouts and schedules.

People like "GPLaps" Using NR to tell a history of car racing with mods and the like, even doing a fictional driver career.
People like that sort of thing. Imagine if ZOOM Offline was still around?
