Cart track conversions

I just got my N2>ICR2 track converter.  On any oval that I convert, the car
gets major loose instantly in the middle of the turns.  It doesn't happen on
the ovals that come stock with Cart.  It doesn't seem to matter what
settings I use, max rear wing, soft suspension etc.  I have to lift off the
gas soo much just to keep the tail behind the nose that the other cars run
away.  Not very competitive, or fun.

I am converting from N2/BGN to Cart.  the converter seems to work without a
hitch.  The tracks load and run and look great, but there seems to be some
kind of traction bug.

Any help is welcome.

  I had someone send me a setup for Bullrun, unfortunately, I don't have it
anymore..too many
installs and deletes and re-installs.
  But to get stable in the banking at the bull, he had let most of the air
out of the rear tires and increased
the negative camber quite a-bit.  You might try that also.   It does limit
your top speed, but if you can
crank a proper turn off the banking then you can almost equal the AI cars in
top speed.  I think something
similiar might work on the ovals as well.  Goodluck!

Well, there's a method for that...

At this URL : http://www.sim-racing.com/   If you check out the Icr2
section, there's a track called BullRun2000.  It's because after the Y2K
they decided to put less banking into the last corner and the 180 U-turn
after the backstretch.  It's really incredible for Icr2.  It has optimized
AI, and completely made *.3d0 and *.trk files. You will easily see that it's
a great track for racing, and you don't fear to loose it into those banked
corners (It's just that Icr2 somehow has "limits" to their physic engine).
The AI was made by "moi" ;-)  (they are incredible at 100%, with 2wide on
the straight and drafting effects).

I would suggest to any fan of BullRun in Icr2 to get this track.  IMHO it's
become the best road course for Icr2 after Elkarth Lake !
