NASCAR Qualifying Problem

by Howard Che » Wed, 28 Dec 1994 04:48:37

I'm having problem with qualifying in the Papyrus Nascar Racing game.  I
ran 191.25 mph in Talladega, which should give me 15th place in the
starting grid.  But the computer ranked me as last, even though the
drivers in 16-38th place all had lower speed than I did.  
Has anyone else experienced this problem with the game?  Is this a bug?
Please help

Howard

In theory, practice and theory are equivalent; in practice, they are not.

Are you running your full 2 laps of qaulifying???  Talladega is the only
track in the sim where you need to run 2 laps for your qualifying speed.

I don't think that's the problem because New Hampshire gave me the same
problem.  But I can get my speed ranked by saving the session and then
going back.  

I can't get even close to the lowest qualifying speed on most tracks.  
Any hints?

Yes. The exact same thing happen to me too. I'm curious about that
too!

Howard, was it your first qualifying attempt? I don't know how close NR follows NASCAR
rules, but normally, 1st round qualifiers are guaranteed their starting positions(or at least
the first XX number of cars).
