I was wondering if the record lap speed shown in N2 was done without a
restrictor plate. I would
also like to know what kind of lap speeds you guys are doing with restrictor
plates. The best I can manage is around 193mph or so.
Thanks
Dave

Yes, the 212 MPH Bill Elliot record was before restrictor plates. As for
what is a "typical" restrictor speed at Tally for solo simmers... seems
like most can hit the 194 range (without drafting), a few can go higher,
but I suspect there has been a significant amount of "tweaking the file
numbers" to post anything much higher than 195 MPH. Key is in gearing,
60 PSI tire pressure, and driving very, very, smooth. Starting rather
high in, and driving smoothly to the bottom of the curves... following a
loooow line (next to the white line) around all the turns then drifting
smoothly out of them. You do not want any tire sqeaking at all. Steer
the car as if you're on ice. As for a car set up, if you don't like to
fiddle excessively with setups, then simply use the "Ace" setup, and
change top gear until you flicker the red line going into Turn 3 at the
end of the back straight (once up to speed, i.e. 4 to 7 laps). Lower the
wheel lock down to about 6-8 degrees (for aid smoothness) and practice
being smoooooth.
Have Fun...

As for racing.... Some drivers can do around 196.xxx mph laps without any
drafting help, and with the draft it averages around 197.5-198mph. With
temperature and wind changes, speeds (always non-restrictor racing) can go
easily higher than 200mph in average.
Practice, practice, practice... That's all. There is tons of information and
help about getting fast in Nascar2.

On TEN, you have to be able to run 195 in qual at 70 degree to be
competitive

I can get 194's in the race, but 193 is the best in qualifying.

: I got 206.758 at 70 degrees no wind with a keyboard.
: one problem I have is tha the tires wreent designed to go this
: fast and during a race they go away fast.
: I have the AI set at 110 and it is very competitive
: during the race I can consistantly run 202-204 while in traffic
: I dont know why yyou cany

Wow, the best I get in traffic is 197's. Oh by the way where does the AI
hide there extra 3 to 5 gals of fuel?

if you run without the ristrictor plate, you should be running about 212.

<g> The guy thinks he is the best driver in the world... Most of the good
people on the NROS that I know and tried can do 207+ laps without the
restrictor plate.
