ICR2: chassis, engine, tires?

by Keith Hea » Fri, 10 May 1996 04:00:00

I've recently started playing Indy Car Racing II, and I'm wondering
  what differences there are between the different chassis, engines, and
  tire brands that one can use?

Is there some sort of a FAQ for ICR2 that summarises these things,
  and maybe answers other questioons which I will no doubt have?

  Thanks,

There has been no "official" word on the differences.  And unfortunately
there is no FAQ for ICR2 (though the Pits is working on a web version).
So I will borrow from a post by Gauntlet (actually the following is in
his own words):

Goodyear tyres, the qualifying tire, firestone and goodyear are then
basically the same for race lastability.

Peneske is the race chassis for non-ovals, Reynard is quicker but
harder to drive {less stable rear end}.
Lola is the Oval chassis

Cosworth is the oval engine i think {12,800-13,000 best rev level}

Mercedes probably the best non-oval engine {12,800-13,000)

honda the best of both worlds engine i believe {12,800-13,200} red
lines at 13,500 but i believe it starts losing power after 13,200.
