: I was wondering how you were able to run a 201.xxx at Taladega V 1.2 with the
: restrictor plate. When I'm playing at 100% difficulty the top computer guys
: never seem to go faster than about 195 and so my best speed with a draft is about
: 195.5. With no help I can run in the 194's. What difficulty level were you playing at
: and what were the weather conditions?
I must admit I'm not sure about some of the settings. The car has the lowest
spoiler allowed, and I stiffened up the shocks. I turned the lap on the last
or next to last lap, so the fuel was almost gone. I was trailing the leader(s)
using my "bump&grind" method: If you bump the car in front of you just right,
he doesn't lose the speed, and as a result of your bumping, gets around the
track faster. Kinda cheap, but it works when going for flat out speed. The
heartbreak came when I bumped him a little too hard and he lost it right in
front of me....I couldn't avoid him, and a massive pileup ensued. Luckily I
had already crossed the line and set my lap speed. Keep in mind also I had
trailed them for most of the lap while being right in their draft. Also,
Talladega is about the only track I run/practice at a lot.
Thanks for the restrictor plate info...I'll give it a try and see what kind of
lap I can REALLY turn.
