Are you using the ace12 setting? With that setting I get laps of 193.5+ easiliy. Bob

Try this one out, for me it will posts regular upper 195's in the draft with a top of 197.710. When your on the track by yourself, it will run at about 193 or so. By the way, yes this is using version 1.21 and random weather.

Hi Eric. I don't think that's fast enough. The softer shocks will create more drag on each tire and therefore limit your top speeds. At Talladega you should be able to run at 194.5 by yourself with a heavy fuel load. The downside is more rapid tire wear though. Bill.

You're right. It came with the 1.2 and 1.21 upgrades. Although, you really have no excuse, sitting there without the track pack. $20! BUY it! Bob

For each track, the rear camber is automatically adjusted for you (i.e. it's not user adjustable). The program that I use to convert setups into text files (ncsetup.exe) doesn't know this. Instead it just prints out a direct text conversion of the .STG files including the rear camber setting. -- Eric T. Busch Emory University

How did you set the camber for your rear tires? In my version (v1.21) I can only set the front tire cambers - the rear tires are fixed. -- -Jim
