hI YOU bRICKYARD FANS,

        Hi have a problem now.  It's not because of the indy track.  Not at
all.  It's for Sear's Point Race in Indycar racing 2.  The track as no
grip at all.  I know that in real life,  that track is slyppery, but
there's limit!!  I'm not even close to the guy in front of me.  Have to
drive with brakes all the time.  Even with wheel lock wide open, it does
not do nothing.  Where can I find setups for it?  Is there a way of
changing the sears.txt file to add more grip or traction??  Also, is
there a web site were I can find setup for Icr2 on Nascar tracks.
Thanks a lot.

P.S.:  If you don't have the Indy track, E-mail me.  If you have
someproblems, E-mail me.

I'M NOT IN JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!

people)
Excuse me for my poor English (I'm French speaking)

You can change the TIRES section to get more traction.  The information to
do this is on the WEB.  I have included the info on ICR2 and NASCAR Racing
tire sections.

                                THEAT (Tire Heat)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
  This keyword has eight parameters.  This keyword is only used in IndyCar
Racing II.  The eight parameters are grouped into two sets of four values.
The first set specifies the heat generated by the tires under dry
conditions, the second set specifies heat under wet conditions.  The values
in each set are for the tire compounds in this order: soft, medium, hard,
rain.  I'm not sure how this keyword is used in the game, since I believe
that TCFF and TCFR do the same thing.

                                TCFF (Tire Compound Friction - Firestone)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
  This keyword has eight parameters.  This keyword is only used in IndyCar
Racing II.  The format for this keyword is the same as that of the THEAT
keyword.  I assume these values are for Firestone tires, but I haven't
experimented to make sure.

                                TCFR (Tire Compound Friction - Goodyear)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
  This keyword has eight parameters.  This keyword is only used in IndyCar
Racing II.  The format for this keyword is the same as that of the THEAT
keyword.  I assume these values are for Goodyear tires, but I haven't
experimented to make sure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
                                TIRES (Tires - Goodyear)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
  This keyword has seven parameters.  This keyword only seems to be used in
NASCAR Racing tracks even though they do appear in IndyCar Racing II
tracks.
This keyword doesn't appear in IndyCar Racing tracks.  This keyword is used
to define the characteristics of Goodyear tires.  The first parameter
defines
the grip for the left side tires.  The second parameter describes the heat
generated by the left side tires.  The third parameter specifies the tread
life of the left side tires.  The fourth parameter defines the grip for the
right side tires.  The fifth parameter specifies the heat generated by the
right side tires.  The sixth parameter specifies the tread life of the
right
side tires.  I have no idea what the seventh parameter is for.  Increasing
the grip values increases the grip of the tires.  Increasing the heat
values
increases the heat generated by the tires.  Increasing the the tread life
values increases the life of the tires. Increasing grip increases heat and
decreases tread life and decreasing grip decreases heat and increases tread
life.

                                TIRES2 (Tires - Hoosier)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
  This keyword has seven parameters.  This keyword only seems to be used in
NASCAR Racing tracks even though they do appear in IndyCar Racing II
tracks.
This keyword doesn't appear in IndyCar Racing tracks.  This keyword is the
same as the TIRES keyword, except TIRES2 refers to the characteristics of
Hoosier tires instead of Goodyear.
