 D(> Just curious if I'm the only one that runs into this problem.  When I
 D(> get going after the initial pace lap or after a caution I always get
 D(> passed by a few cars, and it seems like it takes my car much longer
 D(> to get up to speed than the computer cars.  I've tried adjusting a
 D(> lot of the settings, but can't seem to get a really good jump.

 Your gearbox needs work, most likely.  It is too tall.

Also, if your not on the gas soon enough they will pass you regardless
of your gear ratios.  I used to have the same problem until I learned
to judge when to go GAS ON.  If you wait until the guys in front of
you speed up, it's already too late, you lose. I used to work on a pit
crew for a friend of mine and that's the BIGGEST cause for losing a
race, esp. if the cars are closely matched.
