Coca Cola this Saturday.  I gotta remember to drop the tape setting a notch or
two.  I *think* that was the suggestion a couple months ago.  Hope I remember
to bring the game CD to work tomorrow, or else I won't be able to do it...
Haven't decided on the races following that - gotta check the NASCAR schedule.

Why are you going to do that?

:-)

It's just that we never changed the default setups for any of the other
tracks as far as I know. Has it been shown that this setup is no good as is
for a longer race?

Yes.  Someone(sorry, don't remember who) mentioned that they used the default
fast setup for their league.  They kept blowing engines.  They dropped the tape
setting one or two clicks, and everyone was ok..
Have you tried running it on a long run?  I haven't, so I took him at his
word...

Eldred is referring to me and my league. We ran our fixed setup races with
<fast> setups at 70o and Clear for 30% lengths. With this setup, anyone that
was 'behind' another car for more than say 5-7 laps, drafting, the motors
were popping left and right. We had 10 guys in the event and fully 8 of the
10 participants lost an engine in practice. We took the stock tape setting
down 5% (one click) and restarted. One engine was lost in the race, but I
think that person had some front end damage and we cannot absolutely
attribute that to the setup.

Had I not done that, I was going to have a mutiny and my guys are staunch
fixed setup lovers, so you know it was bad. I still say I can't recall
whether this occurred before or after the second patch came out. If it was
before, they may have fixed it within the last patch. I also recall another
league saying that Coca Cola gave them problems with the default <fast>
setup and just ignored the data until our race occurred there, we found they
were correct, however, YMMV. We also had some guys lose engines in Q before
their second lap was complete...(even with the corrected tape). Just FYI on
that deal.

So we don't all blow up.  The fast setting is at 45% tape, and apparantly
leagues are reporting that you can't run with that.

David,

The setup is defective.  It HAS to be changed.
