Nascar pit stops

12 posts by 11 people · 13 May 1996 - 20 May 1996

I' having trouble changing pit stratagy. Instead of always taking 4 tires, gas and repair I'd like to maybe adjust tire pressure, or maybe take on only right side tires. How do I make spit stop adjustments? Thanks in advance.

For tires, hit F5, then <space> or <enter> to toggle the check marks on each tire. I forget which does what. For fuel, hit F3, then the '<' or '>' for less or more fuel at your next stop. ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

But for the tires "F5" spacebar to choose the tire, and the "ENTER" key for yes or no for it to be changed....

What I do is pause the game before I go in the pits, and then do all my adjustments, and the unpause it.....only works 1 player though....2 players is kinda tough. -Joe

Before entering the pits hit F9 and then hit enter and the repair command will disappear. I think you can also do it while in the pit before the repair starts but I'm not 100% sure. Ken

before you enter the pit hit the f# key that brings up the tire wear indicator. Hit space bar to highlight the tire you want to toggle than hit return to make the cjeckmark underneath dissappear. -- J Mark Piscitelli

Pause the game... hit f10 and then hit spacebar This means damage will not be fixed hit f4 (tires) and press enter/spacebar The check on each tire means they will be changed

Or, as we like to say.... Read the manual. You DO have a manual, right? Mike (hint: saying no means something) :-)

Hit F9 to get to the pit stop screen. Hit enter to toggle repair on/off. Every time you are damaged or compete a pit stop, it switches back to "Repair Damage On", so don't forget to turn it off just before entering the pits if you don't want damage repaired. In MP NASCAR, you can also stop repairs in progress and there's an indicator to tell you the progress of the pace car on the track. Dave "davids" Sequoia Motorsports
On page 19 of the manual it explains the method of selecting which tires to be change and also the pressure for each new tire. Do the this prior to going into the pits.
