I think you will ultimately be faster with that stuff off. I haven't fooled
around with that in NR 2003, but in all the other games I have tried it they
basically work by decreasing the car's power when you get it on the edge of
traction. You are better off learning to do that with your right foot.

I was running at 20%(the default) as well. Someone suggested changing it to
100% at Las Vegas, I think. I couldn't drive it at 100%, but it worked ok at
about 95%, I think. I immediately dropped 2 seconds off my lap times.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

I'm driving it at 20%, and don't have any problems. What am I doing
wrong?

Nothing, obviously - you're much faster than me. Maybe it was DGF or Jan that
suggested changing the steering setting...

Actually, I first suggested turning it up to 100% last season, and then
gradually bringing it down if necessary, but only after putting in plenty if
practice laps in order to get used to the change in feel.
