Brake balance on the default setup is hopeless for my wheel/pedal setup. I
got the use of maybe 1/4 of my full brake travel before lock-up occurs. This
is another setting which, IMHO, should be adjustable to fit the rig the
simmer uses (as steering ratio is), even under fixed setup rules.
My setup and the fact I wear gloves to drive make it awkward for me to use
this. I've got to do something about that. Perhaps during my next holiday.

1000 laps?!? Are you kidding? Are you running solo practice, races against
the AI, or online races?

I did 400 laps Saturday night.
Did 200 Sunday Morning.
Did another 200 Sunday night.
Did another 200 or so on Monday, which was a day off for me.
Or somewhere around that.
It don't take long at Bristol to rack them up.
And you may laugh about Mikey's commercial about being at the wrong track,
but I was :)
I forgot it was a NIGHT race :(
Me go start over now :)

Hehe...
But, would it really MATTER? The temp is always 70 degrees... Is there a
*physical* difference between the 2 tracks?
