I first tried to pit immediately (this is the splash 'n' go one, right?) and that didn't work out, mostly because I hadn't driven the track yet in NH. I tried a couple more times and finally had success pitting two laps after that scenario started. One thing you may be missing it changing the pit settings to only splash 'n' go, no tires and don't fix damage. Other than that, remember you don;t have to be gingerly on the way out of the pits. You're pitted right at the front, so have the htrottle mashed right down as soon as you go. It happens pretty quickly if you use the above settings. ~daxe

I went as far as my fuel could cary me (until the "fuel" warning started to blink), then pitted, only taking splash and go, no tires finished 1st by blocking like crazy ;) ssrat wrote:

Hehe, that's how I got 6th at the richmond one. I'd fly down the backstretch, head straight on to the apron and use the cars ahead as a "stopper".

You have to get that low groove right there, too, or you're dead. Sears Point is an exceptionally brutal track for treating the AI aggressively. In the BTH challenge there I think I left some paint on every single car I passed. ~daxe

Yep. Then on exit, you take them up to the wall & peel them off you. Not that *I've* ever done that, mind you. ;-) -- Chuck Kandler Windows--computing for the Unwashed Masses Registered Linux User #180746 http://counter.li.org
