Does someone know if the chassis, engine and tire brand
choices available for one's car in ICR2 have any influence in the
simulation, or if they are there just for fun?
Thanks,
Francois Bertin

Lola - fastest at ovals. Twitchy at road courses.
Reynard - best overall balance, great at road courses.
Penske - a dog.
Mercedes - highest top end, gas sucker at street circuits
Cosworth - almost as good at top end, better mid range, better fuel
economy.
Honda - sluggish through the mid range, best "come back" in six gear.
Ideal for ovals.
Firestone - better grip, less durability.
Goodyear - better durability, less grip.

However, many people are frustrated with the concept of adding things in
the file, like the Swift chassis, Toyota (ugh, why?), and things to that
effect. C'mon, guys, figure it out...! :-)

The combinations do have different effects in ICR2.
The majority of world records have been set with
LOLA/HONDA/FIRESTONE But it also depends on your
driving skills. ALso there is contreversy weather
some of these records are true are not due to easily
"hacking" the property files, i.e. grip, speed, etc.
I dont know the incrementcies.

From hat I know tire\chasis stuff DOES make a differance. THe only
reasoning is that in nascr 1\2 the fords are better on sort tracks poniacs
are all round andchvies are better super speedway. Hoosiers provide better
grip goodyear last longer.

Hey, Jim, give ICR2 a try. Heaven forbid, you just might enjoy
yourself! :) :) :)
Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking... Did he complain
to five or six postmasters last month? Now, you must ask yourself one
question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do you, punk?

I'm jealous . :)
