I just let it coast in, maybe just *touch* the brake, and let it roll around the corners. Gotta be extremely smooooth. My hardest track and the only one I haven't gotten a feel for yet. -- ------------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten GPLRank: +15.49 http://home.earthlink.net/~morganv00/ ------------------------------------- "nf" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > Has anyone been able to run Homesteed in NASCAR Heat in either expert or > hardcore modes? > > Everytime I try with anything other than Normal mode I can't keep my ass > behind me.

Then you need to break earlier and turn in earlier. "nf" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Let off very early, very VERY light on the brake if needed, don't touch the apron (try to keep the car up off the line at least a half lane or more... and ease back on the throttle. The best way to take a Homestead corner fast is to ease off the gas early (note don't let off the gas completely as doing so can induce a spin), light on the brake, and turn in just enough to stay a lane above the line and be smooth with the steering wheel, then feather the throttle until you can see the turn exit... while straightening out the wheel go full throttle. Most importantly... practice this until you get it. Once you do, you'll be able to duplicate it more often. Download a replay from one of the hotlap sites, or save the replay after an online race and watch from the fast guys' cars. By watching replays of the faster guys online, you can really pick up a lot and improve your driving skills on all the tracks. Dave Ericson "MomoBoy" JDB Racing nf wrote:
