Depending on how much detail you have, you should be able to see an
orange "ball" on a post in the infield.  According to the manual, this
ball contains a NASCAR official.  If you slow to 55 or less before you go
past it, you should be okay.  Good luck.

I've found that if you turn on 'auto brakeing' in the "driving aids menu"
then run a lap and pull into the pits that the car's breaks will slow you
down to 55 mph.  That should help you find where they start timing you.

The Nascar game only tracks you when you leave the pits. You may go over
55mph in the pit, but when leaving slow down. Its seems thats what they
really look for.

Andy if you don't have that much detail on then how do you find out where
it begins and ends?

Mike,

As a general rule, you can use the start and end points of the pit wall as
a guide to the speed trap range.  To be safe, I usually wait until I've
passed the pace car's parked position before I accelerate.

Mike.

I believe it's where the pit wall begins and ends... could be wrong.

That's the pit wall separating the pits from the track.

Do some experiments and see where you have to slow down...

Approach the pits with autobraking on... Your speed should be around
60mph and no more. As soon as your speed slows down, see where you are
and determine where the speed limit begins and ends.

Don't approach the pits at 190 mph with autobraking on and expect not to
get a penalty... it takes time to slow down...

    There is no outside pit wall at Tally.

Two soultions:
            1.  Turn on auto-breaking and floor it into pit lane, when you
see your speed decrease, you've found the area where they start timing
you.
            2.  There may be no wall, but there is a grass median, that
should makr the spot.

I am the original poster of this subject and I got nailed again at Tal.  I had
a 13 sec lead over 2nd place car so I took it easy into pit lane.  Started
braking on the track, got onto the apron and still breaking.  Entered the
entrance, not past the orange ball yet and was about at 80 MPH.  Slowed down and
was about 50 when I stepped on the brake hard to enter my stall.  Left the pits, was under 55 the whole way out and BINGO got nailed.  This is BS.  I know I
didn't speed exiting, and I am almost sure I didn't entering.  What is going on?
BTW, auto breaking DOESN'T work for me at Tally.  I don't know why, someone sai
it is suppose to.  I don't see why it shouldn't.


1. Is pit row randomized in N2?

2. Question: Pit row assignments

3. Go with 2-row or 3-row Radiator ???

4. Done and now it's just beginning

5. Pitted Windshield - What can be done?

6. The Pits is down (again), go to The Norway Pits...

7. IRL Pits are the Pits?

8. Q:] Pit boxes; pit crew positions

9. Spoiler - Pit Tragedy won race, not pit strategy
