Dover Downs

Hi, I am new to Nascar Racing and i can do pretty well at a place like Talledaga since there is no braking involved. My question is about Dover Downs tracks in that when going around the corner, what should my speed be at? I am using a joystick and right now I have a button as the acceleration and another button as the braking. Should I have pusing forward on the stick as acceleration? When I am going around a corner should I gas it, then brake and do that throughout the turn or should I try coasting and then gas it? All help appreciated. Thx -Scott

Thx I am no expert at using the joystick, but the trick to getting around is smoothness. Work on getting into and through the apex of the corner with your car set up to get back into the power coming out. This is usually where the go lap times come from. Having the car setup to hit the power as early as possible coming out of the turns. -- **************************** Michael E.

Scott- I found that when using the joystick, the buttons work the best for gas and brake. Setting forward and back to gas and brake, respectively, was too much to controll. Smoothness is the most important factor in controlling your car, and I found it too difficult to maintain steering controll while accellerating and braking with the same stick. Also, there may be times when you want to stay on the gas, but tap the brake (eg. in traffic), and this is hard to do when you have to push forward and pull back at the same time.:) Happy Motoring!
