I picked up a copy of N4 this last weekend. Up until now I have not
spent much time with driving sims. I own copies of SBK2000, SBK2001
and GPL, but I could never really get into them.
N4 has REALLY opened my eyes!!!
I am now finally starting to understand the basics. I am currently
working with the first track Daytona. I learned really fast how
important it is to draft. With the AI set to 90% I was able to hold
onto 11th place in the lead draft for the first 25 laps. That is when
things started to go south for me. I found that in the high banked
turn after the start finish line I could not hold onto my racing line.
Unless I let up on the gas I would slide up the track towards the
wall. In the last high banked turn before the start finish line I
could drive any line and make it stick. I checked my tire wear and my
right front was down to 50%. I was considering a pit stop, when I lost
it and slid into the wall. I retired and watched the race finish. (50
laps total). None of the AI cars took pit stops so I am pretty sure
that my tire wear is excessive.
So to make a long story short.....
Based on my description, is my car "pushing" or "loose", or what?
How many laps should I be able to run before I need to change tires?
Are there any sites with information about setups and the
fundamentals of racing and cr setups?
Thank you for your time and patience!
