I've been able to hit low 45s in the draft, using the fast setup. Thats running the AI at 100%, 70d
The big difference between these two setups is the push in the turns with the Jasper setup.
If the Fast setup is too loose we can either lower the temp, or run a modified setup.
I know how you feel about that but that Jasper setup will reek havoc in RASCAR imo.

I don't have a problem with the jasper setups.
Whatever we do, we should pick it and stick with it.

I just did some laps in testing and my times are:
Fast 48.644
Jasper 49.036
In traffic with AI at 101% and fast setup 45.194
At even 100%, and starting at the back of the field, the field just pulls
away from me when I use the Jasper setup. Can't even stay with them. With
the fast setup, I can start at the back and slowly pick my way through
towards the front. Huge difference.
Are you sure you did a 48.018 with the Jasper setup alone in testing? The
fast setup was a couple of mph faster all around the track than the Jasper
setup in testing for me.
Unlike Tim though (if I read his post correctly), in testing I found the
Jasper setup easier than the fast setup to place on the line and hold. No
push at all. The Jasper setup would probably make for a safer race, but I'd
still prefer the fast setup myself.

To be honest, if we can't have a good race at Daytona in RASCAR with the
fast setup then it's because of the drivers, not the setup (of course that
now means I'll do something completely boneheaded on Sat.).

With anti-lock brakes, steering assist, and stability control ON, the
Jasper setup pushes (and only a little). I don't really see how
comparing speeds against the AI is a valid comment on the viability
of a setup. We won't be racing against the AI.
We REALLY need to run a practice race with some people running one
setup, and some running another, and then compare.
From the Jasper-guiide on the CD (dont ask!):
"In NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, you'll find a "Jasper" setup for each track.
These setups come largely from the last couple of years of our race shop.
They are representative of current setup thinking in Winston Cup racing. I'
ve modified them somewhat so that I'm not 'selling the farm" on our best
Ideas. I've also tested each of them for drivability in your game. I do not
consider them "optimum"setups for the game; they're simply representative of
what a real team might plausibly run."

============================================
Reach heaven far too high
============================================
Fast 48582
Jasper 48984
I also tried Bob Stanley's setup and did a 48485.
They are here http://mywebpages.comcast.net/davegf/ if someone wants to take
a look. The Jasper and BS setups handle a bit better than the fast setup,
but the Jasper is much slower than the fast and BS. John, if you definitely
did a did a 48.018 with the Jasper setup in testing then please take a look
and tell me what's going on. Don't see how you could be almost a second
faster with that Jasper setup. BS's qualifying setup only does a 47.6
according to his notes (I did a 47.7 my first try with it). If the Jasper
setup is faster than the fast setup then I'd definitely say let's use it for
the RASCAR race.
This shouldn't be news to anyone, but the best way to tell which one handles
the best and is the most stable is to put on the ideal line and then try to
straddle the line through the corners over 20 laps or so, then review the
results in the replay. You've got proof then.

John may be right, I may have had the default ***on, when I tested the Jasper setup. I can't remember, but it was when I first tried Daytona.

I ran an online race fixed last night and the fixed setup felt pretty good.
Unless it was modified.
