Nascar Heat-Racing Line Question

Greatly enjoyed watching my first Nascar race (Bud Shootout) on Monday, here in the UK (just the highlights I'm afraid, on Eurosport). During the race, Dale Earnhardt used the outside of the track a lot, but still kept up with the leaders. I thought I would try this out in Nascar Heat, but all that happens is I loose several places to other cars. What am I doing wrong? The foot rarely comes off the gas pedal, but still I lag behind. Any advice appreciated. PJ

"What is the title doing wrong?".

Nascar what?

Your setup is probably not helping either...and...remember, heat is modeling LAST years aerodynamic rules...so the lines that they run this year will not match up well. dave henrie "Paul Jager" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:xuBi6.68890$[email hidden]...
