Is there a setting that I can change for "drafting"?

I saw a couple people saying that the drafting was
turned on. If there is a setting, how do I get to
it.

The only drafting I could find in the book referred
to "bump drafting". Everytime, I try that, I get in
trouble, well, at least Earnhardt gets in trouble. :)

I have seen some people talking about having the
"drafting on". Is that an option someplace?
If so, how do I get to it. the only thing
I have found is the "bump drafting" that the
book talks about and I get in trouble when I do
that ,well, maybe Earnhardt gets in trouble :)

Thanks.

I hope you're kidding. Drafting is s necessity at Talladega,
and is possible at Michigan and Atlanta. Just stay behind
the Ai driver, and try to almost touch his bumper. To utilize
it for passing, just slingshot around once you hit the straights.

There is no "switch" or "option" to turn drafting "ON". It just happens
when you are moving close to another car and are in its "wind shadow" as
they say. The higher the speed, the greater the effect. The closer you
are to the car in front, the greater the effect.
