I think that in the next patch for Nascar Racing they need to make it a little harder to et a yellow flag. Sometimes, while racing, I will just barely tap someone's bumper, not even causing a dent, and a yellow flag will come out. I've seen spins on TV that don't even get a caution. I'd like to be a little more aggressive in my driving habits but those yellow's keep me driving defensively. -- #56 Nike AIR Monte Carlo "The newest member of Hendrick Motorsports"

I've had this happen several times, particularly at Bristol, Watkins Glen, and Atlanta. It's really a pain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pat Campbell Go #6, #94 Huntsville, AL The Auburn Baseball Tigers--Regular Season SEC West Division Champs! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
: I agree completely. I've had this happen several times, particularly at : Bristol, Watkins Glen, and Atlanta. It's really a pain. I just sent a couple of replays to Papyrus on this very subject. I asked them very nicely to please correct this. Heck, that's one of the reasons I looked forward to NASCAR (over IndyCar), I wanted to get out there and mix it up.... -- **************************** Michael E.

Since this is part of the AI engine, it may not be possible to 'fix.' I too have had similar problems in ICR where the yellow comes out BEFORE a car hits the wall. This is not how it really happens. Fixing is all relavent to the coding. bryon -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Within five years the difference between social security and welfare is the spelling.

writes: Argh!!! Is this ever my *biggest* complaint with Nascar Racing! Try racing the small tracks like Martinsville, and thee newly added Richmond and N. Wilkesboro. The cautions fly so quick it'll make your head spin. This is easily the most frustrating thing about the sim. When I mentioned this to Papyrus they were like "yeah, we have no intentions of changing that, cautions are thrown when damage is caused to the comp. controlled cars". My though was like, what! What the hell does damage have to do with cautions? But they seem to think its fine. If you don't, try point this out they will see that a change needs to be made. It does. Jim

-> I think that in the next patch for Nascar Racing they need to make it -> a little harder to et a yellow flag. Sometimes, while racing, I will -> just barely tap someone's bumper, not even causing a dent, and a -> yellow flag will come out. I've seen spins on TV that don't even get -> a caution. I'd like to be a little more aggressive in my driving -> habits but those yellow's keep me driving defensively. The same thing could definately be done with ICR. I have been racing and just tapped another car from behind. The computer car that I bumped kept going straight but was listed as crash. I know its easy to wreck a suspension, but it seems that in ICR a slight bump from behind can easily put a car out.
