Oh well, it could have been worse, NR2002 could have been a crappy sim

This sim is just soo dam good...
I cannot get myself to drive F1-2002. I bought it some week ago, but it
feels so 'arcadish' compared to N2002, so it just gathers dust...
Then I've tried to spend time with GPL, but the tyrenoise is soo tiresome.
N2002 is _the_ sim right now.

Getting hit in the ass-end. Or hitting someone else in the ass-end.
I absolutely guarantee that this will be the #1 issue if we race this track.
Ass-ending...
I think we all need to make a pact that whatever happens during this race,
it will be forgiven upon it's completion.
We may even want to bar it's discussion in RAS after it's run :)
What was that CCR said? "There's a bad moon on the rise" :)

Are we allowed to use assists at road courses? I.E. Traction
Control/Braking Assistance ?
I'm not sure what the rules are regarding this...

I can race without them, and the point isn't improving one's position. Not
at all. There isn't an assist that's been created (short of a rail system)
that will give me a chance at running near the top at this track.
The question is if it will help _everyone_ run a safer race, and possibly
help in preventing the people who can run this track fast do it with less
fear of getting run over by someone losing forward bite and spinning out in
front of them.
Like I said. I can run without them. It's just a basic question.

Don't know about driving aids, but I would suggest setting the steering
ratio to 16:1. That helps a lot, IMO.
