Subject line says it. I was so annoyed with the front-end push
on the Nascar Revolution handling that I decided to intentionally
fishtail or spinout at Richmond (without hitting a bump or
bumping into another object first). No matter how hard I tried to
whip the tail end around the damn thing kept planted - even
with the front wheels down to 20psi and rear up to 60.

Not having seen this mentioned yet, I was wondering if this
was a common experience or not.

Thanks,
Neil M.

You can't do it. BTW, I don't know about you but I am pretty pissed about
the kind of ***that EA
put on the store shelves. Just one of many things wrong with this game.

Thanks for confirming that issue to both of you. I was thinking that the
claim of being a "hard core sim" was starting to sound more than a
wee bit "Novalogicky"

>Yes, it is common. Nascar Revolution is pure crap, both as a sim
>(which it is advertised to be) and as an arcade racer. Neil, you

Correct. Unless you hit something, you can't spin out in NasRev.

It's those realistic physics, ya know.
