How can I fix the handling in the Rendition ICR2 with the Michigan track.
Both the Michigan New and Michigan in the new version is affected.  It is
way too loose.  The original version of Michigan is much easier to drive.
Hasn't anyone else noticed the difference?

The over-all physics model had a bug in it, and was fixed
with the 1.02 patch...Sure, speeds are down a bit, but the
old problem was a mess!!

Basically, if you made a setup for one of the ovals (messing
around 'till it was right), exited the game, came back later
to drive your setup - you would find that it went to crap...
either it oversteered madly, or it understeered with the
slightest input...

This was especially noticable during modem play...make a
offline, hit the wall online...Not a pretty picture.  :-P

Best Regards,

I noticed this loose condition at Michigan as well, especially using the
stock "ace" setup.  But, I do still find the condition realistic.  If
you notice, going into turn 1, if you are really going fast and slip out
of the groove, you oversteer terribly and back into the wall, right?
Frustrating as this may be, this is very realistic, in my opinion.
Traction is supposed to be much, much better in the groove than out of
it.  This especially applies at superspeedways like Michigan where you
are screaming, pedal-to-the-metal at 250mph into the turn.  If you
cannot hold the preferred line when diving down in turn 1, then lift a
little earlier and you won't spin.

Indycar2 Rendition is awesome when you consider the subtle details that
were included.
