At Daytona Rusty blew his tire just before the first round of
pitstops...Waltrip said he had a history of too much camber and not enough
air pressure.
Isn't it amazing....with gpl it was EVERYONE wanting to EDIT the grip
levels.
and now with N4, rather than fix a setup or learn how the tire is affected,
or even dloading other setups...we have many users that want to EDIT the
track file rather than compete.
That's not a personal flame, just a general observation.
