I went back and watched the reply Eldred, and you're 10-20mph slower
than everyone else in critical spots on the track.
Racing a roadie in NR2k2 is no different than running the same track
in GPL in one repsect. The better your entry, the better your exit,
the better your exit, the better your lap times. You either weren't
in 4th gear, or had just gone into fourth gear *long* after the rest
of us. You also went into first more than you needed to (it's not
necessary to go down to 1st at the Carousel for instance).
It's almost like your gas pedal needs to be calibrated because you
weren't getting the exit speed you needed.
Maybe you're anticipating the turns too early, or you simply don't
want to go into 4th gear, but whatever the cause, you simply don't
have any speed.
I cut out my best lap from the race, and it's most certainly only an
average lap, but being an average lap, I thought it might help. If
you want it, I can email it to you.
I honestly think you could get a better feel for the track if you
drove from the roof view. There's certainly no shame in it if it
makes you more competitive, and people that claim otherwise are full
of shit. Afterall, to keep it fun, you have to know that you can run
up front. I see no reason to think you can't be just as fast as
anyone else.
I race the <fast> setup with no linearity changes, clutch help is on,
and I drive from the roof.
