please post Taladega lap times

writes: my best so far was an 198+ average lap with a top speed of 212 entering turn 3(i caught the draft just right:) I found my setup at http://innet.com/~sean/nascar/nascar.html which someone else was so nice to post in a prvious article. Try the killem setup, thats the one i use although its rough getting through the tri-oval at 202 without backing off a little.

If you bump it up to 120 degrees, I've gotten a 201.xxx lap without too much trouble. But with 80 degree weather my fastest is 198.xxx as well.

At least for my times 0f 198.xxx I was using version 1.21 with random weather and opponents set at 103%. -Eric -- Eric T. Busch Emory University

I've got a question... are these run with 1.2 or 1.1 or 1.0 NASCAR or what? I'm lucky if I get a 194 mph lap, even at 120 degrees! Driving the Ford, so maybe I'm aerodynamically challenged? I know the speeds went down with the 1.2 update... Go #6 Mark Martin and #16 Ted Musgrave - Jack Roush Racing!! NASCAR Racing!! http://innet.com/~sean/nascar/nascar.html <--NASCAR Racing Sim page

version 1.1 for me in a chevy

I was never a fan of racing sims but 4 weeks ago I bought Nascar. I thought it looked a bit like the British Touring Car racing (great stuff!) Needless to say I'm one step away from puting it into my autoexec.bat! I managed a lap of 199.22 with one of the setups from http://innet.com/~sean/nascar (not killem). The trick seems to be on the last corner before the finish line - it's a very open corner and if you get as close to the wall as you dare, turn in early and v.gently (you shouldn't here much skidding - if any) it's almost as if it's a straight! You need to carry as much speed through as possible too that looong straight - although my max speed at the end of that is only 203.

And restrictor plate off??????????

>And restrictor plate off?????????? No, you can get 198.xxx lap speeds with the plate still on and random weather (not the 120 degree cheat with a tailwind) with version 1.21. A good setup, a good line, and opponents that you can actually draft with are all you need. With opponents less than 100% you just blow by them, not using the draft at all. When you set the opponents at 103 or 104% you should be able to draft nearly the entire time around the track, only getting out to pass or get through the tri-oval. -- Eric T. Busch Emory University

Car manufacturer doesn't matter in Papyrus NASCAR. All cars are the same aerodynamically. This is evident in the fact that a Pontiac won IWCC last season. :-))

Without the ristrictor plate, I can average about 220 pmh (for real!) with the restrictor plate (Normaly) I can reach 202.163. E-mail me if you want to race without the restrictor plate and hit a top speed of 235 mph!!! (You even have to use the breaks!!!
