If you're serious about going for the 1m30s mark, I think it's time to
either try some other setups (as suggested) or to try and adapt the default
so they roll better through the corners..
Also, you should start using the technique in the stock car as well. Pays
dividends if you have to push that little bit extra at places like
Martinsville, IMS, the roadies (of course), etc...

That's okay, but you have to also consider that in NR2K2, tire wear ius
modelled much more aggressively than in GPL. If you push too hard into
or thru the turns, you'll chew the right front tire up faster than you
normally would.

Hmmm... yes, but for one I hope I made clear this is for emergency use only
(as it's more difficult due to asymmetric set-up and less forgiving tyres)
and, secondly, I'm talking about drifting, not putting down ***. ;-)
Besides, seeing as it's impossible to set up a good drift if you go in too
hot and drifting out of a turn actually unloads the front of the car, I
don't see how the RF should suffer any more than it already does.
