Quikfix guide...due to some errors in the NASCAR game.
The NASCAR Racing simulator has had the weight distribution for
oversteer/understeer backwards...as Ed alluded to when he said that
NCRII would have some setup corrections.
So I've changed the Quikfix guide so that it is correct for the NASCAR
Racing Sim. The original Quikfix guide would have worked for a REAL
car, but not for the sim.
The Quikfix guide is included in this post. You can also find the updated
version in The Pits on Monday, as well as George Lewis's site.
As always, remember to change only one thing at a time when setting up
a car, and be sure to make a test setup for your changes in case you go
the wrong way.
Cheers!

PUSH (TIGHT, UNDERSTEER)
*move rear weight back
more stagger
less cross weight (wedge)
lower front air dam
*raise front tire pressure
PUSH (going into corner)
*raise right front tire pressure
*stiffen right front shock
*lower right rear tire pressure
*soften right rear shock
PUSH(exiting corner)
*raise left front tire pressure
*stiffen left front shock
*lower left rear tire pressure
*soften left rear shock
LOOSE (OVERSTEER)
*move rear weight forward
less stagger
more cross weight (wedge)
raise rear spoiler
*raise rear tire pressure
LOOSE(going into corner)
*lower right front tire pressure

*raise right rear tire pressure
*stiffen right rear shock
LOOSE(exiting corner)
*lower left front tire pressure
*soften left front shock
*raise left rear tire pressure
*stiffen left rear shock
LOW SPEED (Corner)
adjust camber (front)
more stagger
raise tire pressure
(Straightaway)
taller high gear
raise front air dam
lower rear spoiler
raise tire pressure
POOR ACCELLERATION
shorter gears
TIRE TEMPERATURES - LOW
stiffen shocks
lower tire pressure
HIGH
slower entry into corner
adjust camber (front)
raise/lower tire pressure (depending on problem see TIRE WEAR)
TIRE WEAR
adjust camber (front)
adjust stagger (more or less, depending on problem)
adjust shocks softer
lower tire pressure (if tire is hot across center)
raise tire pressure (if tire is hot on outsides)
adjust driving (slower entry into corner)
ERRATIC BRAKING (car jumps all over during braking)
soften front shocks
POOR GAS MILEAGE
taller gears
raise front air dam, lower rear spoiler
Wheel lock (driver preference)
Road courses, short tracks - more wheel lock
Large ovals, less wheel lock
Left Weight bias
ovals - more
road courses - even, or slightly biased to the
side with the most corners
(A "*" means that these settings are reverse of what a real car
