**** U.S.A. **** are the lap times correct?

All,

I've been trying out the new USA track.  I am running 193
at the slow point of the corners.  I believe 191 is the slowest
point on the track.

When I press F1, it shows my track speed of 184.826.
How can this be?

Sounds like you are running on a 2.66 mile track that has been lied to.
It thinks it's only 2.5 miles.

If your elapsed time is 48.694 seconds
on a 2.66 mile track your speed is 196.656 mph
on a 2.50 mile track your speed is 184.827 mph

I just edited the USA.TXT file and changed the LENGT field from
2.500 to 2.660 and the times are correct again.
