I was never a fan of racing sims but 4 weeks ago I bought Nascar.
I thought it looked a bit like the British Touring Car racing (great stuff!)
Needless to say I'm one step away from puting it into my autoexec.bat!

I managed a lap of 199.22 with one of the setups from
http://innet.com/~sean/nascar (not killem). The trick seems to be on the last
corner before the finish line - it's a very open corner and if you get as
close to the wall as you dare, turn in early and v.gently (you shouldn't here
much skidding - if any) it's almost as if it's a straight! You need to carry as
much speed through as possible too that looong straight - although my max speed
at the end of that is only 203.

-> I've got a question... are these run with 1.2 or 1.1 or 1.0 NASCAR or
-> what?  I'm lucky if I get a 194 mph lap, even at 120 degrees! Driving

Well I race version 1.2 and my personnel best is with a Chevy on
Goodyear tyres, weather set at 75F, with damage on, around Talladega
is:

198 something  (ristor on)
217.870  (ristor off)
220.778  (ristor off & damage off)

Have fun a catching these.

Car manufacturer doesn't matter in Papyrus NASCAR.  All cars are the same
aerodynamically.  This is evident in the fact that a Pontiac won IWCC
last season. :-))
