Does anyone know how to have your pit crew change your front spoiler settings during a race? Do they change front spoilers settings during real Nascar races? I can change the rear spoiler, but not the front. In Indycar Racing 2 you press the spacebar to switch between front and rear, but that doesn't work in NASCAR. Also, is there ever any wet races in NASCAR or INDYCAR RACING II when you have the weather set to random? The original INDYCAR RACING had the capability of wet races, but I have yet to experience any wet races in it's successors. Also... I have noticed that the pit board in INDYCAR RACING II does not tell you your lap time like it mentions in the manual. There seems to be no way to know your average lap speed for each lap, which would be handy on the ovals.

You can't adjust the front air dam in the game, although in real NASCAR they do ajust the air going in the front by adding/removing tape from the front grill. Nobody races in the rain on ovals (yet), as the tire manufacturers have yet to come up with a tire that will handle the high speeds in the rain. Sure would. Maybe in a patch? Steve Grant

Thanks for the replies guys, although no one has answered my query about why there are no wet races in INDYCAR RACING II. I realize they are unable to race both NASCARs & INDYCARs around the ovals in the wet, but surely there should be the odd wet circuit or street race. They are both excellent games so I am not complaining, just querying. Unlike a lot of other people I CAN wait for GP2 to come out... but only because I have ICR2!!

Papyrus removed the wet weather races in ICR2.
