Talladega

I was once able to run a lap of about 197 (unofficial) in the draft, but now I have lost the setup when I reinstalled. Can anyone help me with it. I can now only get a top lap of 194 and no where close to that.

I can now only get a top lap of 194 and no where close to that. It's probably not your setup - Nascar 1.0 was about 5mph faster than the same track&setup under Nascar 1.21. Joe

No, I could hit 206 comin off the backstretch of Talladega in 1.0, but can't in 1.21, it's hell getting the damn thing to hit 200 now

Zep, you are wrong, it was faster with 1.0. Zoner

I'm not sure what sim y'all are using ;-) but in 1.0 I could hit 220 easy on the backstraight. 1.2 and 1.21 however placed the restrictor plate on the carb-intake and dropped speeds considerably. I can get 200 on the backstraight if I'm lucky but I've heard of 205's. I have a setup that will, supposedly, get you a 205.???. I'll post it to alt.binaries.simulators.autos and you can see what you can do. The secret, from what I've heard, is to have 4th gear at 3.5. Good Luck.

Hey folks Don't forget that in version 1.2 of Nascar there is a restrictor plate fitted to the cars for Talladega track only. You can remove it for the Talladega TXT file. Remove the 1 and replace it with a 0 on the line SPDWY I have been able to get around 20 to 25 MPH extra. To make it fear for the computer cars you will have to change the value on the RELS line as well. Happy high speed racing.

Your right Spammy...You are wrong. Mike

And in the demo it was even faster... I remember that I could hit 205 while driving with the KEYBOARD!

Hi Mike In ver 1.2 of Nascar a restrictor plate has been added to the engine to slow them down as per real racing. To remove it you need to edit the Taladega.txt file on the line SPDWY. Change the first number from 1 to 0. (1 for restrictor plate fitted.... 0 for not.) Bear in mind though you will have a unfear addvantage so you may want to increase the value on RELS line for the computer cars. Cheers Nigel of Lakewood Racing
