I'm having problem with qualifying in the Papyrus Nascar Racing game. I ran 191.25 mph in Talladega, which should give me 15th place in the starting grid. But the computer ranked me as last, even though the drivers in 16-38th place all had lower speed than I did. Has anyone else experienced this problem with the game? Is this a bug?

Are you running your full 2 laps of qaulifying??? Talladega is the only track in the sim where you need to run 2 laps for your qualifying speed. -- **************************** Michael E.

But I can get my speed ranked by saving the session and then going back. I can't get even close to the lowest qualifying speed on most tracks. Any hints?

The exact same thing happen to me too.

Howard, was it your first qualifying attempt? I don't know how close NR follows NASCAR rules, but normally, 1st round qualifiers are guaranteed their starting positions(or at least the first XX number of cars).
