I have tried to finish a race at Matinsville for the last few days and I
can not do it without crashing 3 or 4 times. Lapped traffic is
terrible!! The A-1 cars seem to cut you off coming out of the turns. Has
anyone else had problems at this track?

I'm practising a Martinsville as it is the next race for the
Nascar Offline Racing Series and I also find that the AI are
pretty agressive. I find it better to keep low when approching
the turns in order to hold the car behind from cutting inside
my rear bumper, otherwise they end up spinning me around.
If I'm not running with someone close behind me I run out on
the wall down the straights then cut in close to the kerb in
the turn.
Best I have done at this track is 89.077 mph average lap speed
(21.258 sec). Gonna have to do better if I going to come in
near the front at 100% AI

I have figured that if your going to give a nose to pass, better check up
before you wreck, but fully die by side is ok. Also, they are extremely
aggressive when your are a half a car length side by side. So when your not
sure, check up, and save yourself from a wreck. It works for me. Not one
wreck yet.

Raced Martinsville last night at 100% and won (for the first time) The AI
is very aggressive here. I think the best way to take care of this is to be
very aggressive, too. Stay low around the track when in traffic and learn
to carve low into the turns. About midway thru the turns (75-80mph) start
rolling on the throttle. You should be ahead of the AI you went into the
turn with coming out of the turn, kinda cut him off coming outta the turns.
You can pass on the outside, well sorta. But if your setup is loose this
can be tricky. Come into the turn on the high side(left wheels on the
concrete, rights on the asphalt) with the AI beside you. By midway thru the
turn let the AI get ahead of you a bit as you see the AI start to slide out
towards the wall coming outta the turn, point the car towards the
middle/low side of the track and punch it! Be careful cause if your not
actually straight you could spin. If all else fails and you can't seem to
pass some AI for awhile and he is slowing you down just tap him from behind
on the straights right before you enter a turn, this will push him to the
outside a bit and slow you down enough to get under the AI for the pass!
Remember just light taps, don't slam into the back of him and damage your
car!
Hope this helps
