I was wondering if anyone knows how to solve the problem of excessive tire heat on some of the converted NASCAR tarcks for ICR2. I can go no more than five laps into a C***te race when my temps turn yellow. I have done everything I know to the car to solve this. Including, god forbid, SLOWING DOWN. I have found that on the TXT files on ICR2 tracks that there is three additional lines of coding labeled THEAT, TCFF, TCFR that NASCAR tracks don't have. I am convinced that my solution lies in those numbers. To test this I copied the Narareth numbers to C***te and it seemed to work out for the most part. What exactly do those numbers stand for?? If you know, let me in on the secret! Gary Godsoe

I haven't looked into it, but if I were to venture a guess, I'd say that they stand for: THEAT - Tire HEAT TCFF - Tire Coefficient of Friction Front TCFR - Tire Coefficient of Friction Rear Dave
