I recently upgraded to Nascar 1999 (used to have Nascar, and Nascar 2). I
love to race at Talledega. But I hate the way the field spreads out. The
AI don't seem to race like real racers do, all clustered up going three and
four wide in the corners. So,last night, I canged the AIs' stats to be the
same. 499-500 ,99-100,499-500, and 499-500. They seem to race much closer
this way. With these stat settings it does make it much much more fun to
race. But still can get streached out a bit. I was wondering which stat I
should change to get them even more bunched up.

Also I noticed that I get more effect from the draft when I'm behind a car
rather than in front of a car. From what I understand in the real world the
car that leads a draft gets as much effect as does the car in the middle or
the end. Is this normal for Sierra's NASCAR simulation?

There are several sites that have utilities to help change the car parameters
to tight up the field. I use Sim-World and NRHQ.
If you want a great utility, get NRHQ. Dane does a great job and for $15 it is
well worth it. I think there is a link to Dane's web site from Sim-World.

One site which has redone the AI for most tracks is at
http://racdesign.smarthosting.com/index.htm

Several other excellent utilities here as well.
