When you go out to practice the road courses, set car damage
to "off" in the options menu.  By doing this, you can get
lots of experience quickly, by not having to restart every
5 seconds, or taking corners easy to avoid damaging the car.
When I first tried Watkins Glen, after about 10 laps I was
starting to get a real "feel" for the braking points, speed
in the corners, ect.  If you do it the hard way...you're gonna
spend alot of time just picking the pieces of the car off the
wall...

This is also not to mention that you will get alot more lap
time with hot tires.  This easy formula can be applied to
all the NASCAR tracks, but is most effective for the road
courses.  Then after you've ran enough laps to start feeling
comfortable with the track, set the damage to "on", and you'll
be surprised at how little you trash the car!

Hope this helps....

Also try cranking down the RELS is track.txt so you won't get ran over by the
competetion.  Tuck in behind one, get a schoolin' on the line, and eak up the
RELS til you're at 100
