Hey guys, I'm having a hard time getting over the 183 mark at michigan. Could someone offer up some tips on the speeds and/or line at M.I.S.?? I'm getting into T1 at around 202, down to appx. 160 at the apex. And appx. 170-171 on the Exit of T2. Enter T3 at around 192, (Seems like all I can get is 192 before I have to let off for T3) down to appx. 160 again, before I can get back in the gas.. I cross the S/F line at around 193-194.. What speeds do you think I should be hitting at these different points, to achieve the 184 barrier? Thanks for any advice.. Mick

You can download some replays here: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/ You can grab some setups there too. Watching the replays a couple of times should answer all of your questions about lines and speeds. Mr. Huttu has a pretty sweet setup for Michigan on his site: http://koti.mbnet.fi/ghuttu/ Rick "Mick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

170 at apex turns 1-2, 172 apex turns 3-4, 202mph sf line loose is fast pez Mick <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Well, I know this to not be true at all. I ran a Michigan race one day off of IRF and the guy had modified the Track.ini and set the adhesion to max. We were ALL turning 200+ mph laps. It was fun, but _everyone_ had the same settings... -Larry "Per Frederiksen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95pqf6$son$[email hidden]...

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Yes, this is the situation I'm speaking of... I'm really trying to avoid the word 'cheat' as I don't want it applied to the wrong people for the wrong reasons. I do feel, however, that in the DEMO of N4, some have learned a few, um, tricks... -Larry "Mick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ya know, I wish I hadn't even seen this thread.. I was really shooting for a 191 lap, with the stock settings ;-) Even so, using the replay, and thinking it was possible, I did do an honest 185.106 (my personal best) And I know there's more speed to gain! Now, if I could only turn in these good laps CONSISTENTLY!!! :-) > Larry wrote: > Yes, this is the situation I'm speaking of... <<Snipped>> > -Larry > > "Mick" wrote in message > > Yea, I dl'd one MIS replay where the guy comes right out of the pits, > > then proceeds to hit 202 before getting into turn3..
