Nascar 2 problems

Hi everybody,

I faced a very strange problem. I was racing at Dover Downs, and after the
secong pit-stop, the classification just went crazy. I was in first, Gordon
in secong about 15 s behind. After him, we got three cars TWO laps down,
then 5 cars ONE lap down, and then the rest starts from two to more laps
down (seems OK). Somebody saw this before? I am using the Nascar 2 version
1.03 (non BGN version).

Regards

Couple things to try to correct it. Cycle the pit radio ON/OFF (F2 F2)
or toggle it to on-track intervals and back (Enter Enter)

If it was still in "race position" mode and showing what you said, it
sounds like a bug. Did you finish the race, and if so, how was the
scoring presented in the final standings?

Jim (and everyone else)

This one is more than likely a bug. In the IGN series we encountered this
problem at several tracks if we had set the track files to allow a certain
sized field, or had a certain # of cars in our car set. It always happened
after a major pit-stop. Apparently at least one car may have been pitting on
the s/f line or something similar, and then things just went haywire.

I don't remember our exact tracks or field sizes, but I'm sure with some
discussion with some of our memebers, we could recall the numbers and tracks
we had problems with.

Yes,
I did finish the race and it just kept the positions. It was quite funny to
have cars with fewer laps getting a better position and more points. After
Dover, it happened in other tracks again, most of the times after BIG pits,
or, lot of cars going in and out of the pits at the same time. It seems like
a bug.

Does anyone knows if this happens with the new Nascar 2 BGN version?
