This is so frustrating!  I worked for a good three hours on getting a
really good set-up for Rockingham and preparaing for qualification
(opponents at 100%). The set-up worked out I great and I qualified 22nd,
only to last just 50 laps and finish DEAD LAST!  I am so tired of
computer-controlled racers taking me out when I'm only trying to hold my
line.  I simply cannot even come close to finishing a race, even at 50%
length, because of wrecks.  Other than turning off car damage, how can I
avoid this crap?

I qualified 13th at Atlanta and have a great set-up for that track (again,
at 100% opponent strength).  Of course, I could only last 90 laps there
before my car was too damaged and I was too many laps down to make
finishing worth while.  Can anyone help?

It is very helpful to know is that once you get your nose below a AI car's RR fender in a
turn, 9 times out of 10 they will brake and take a wide line easily letting you by.  At a
shorter track like Rockingham, this is the best way to pass.  You can almost always out
brake the AI cars and beat them to the entry point in the turns thus enabling you to pass.
 Just be patient on the straights and use them to set up your position entering the turns.

 Try multiplayer ....that 50 laps will seem like a long race
