Another Newbie Question - ICR2 Pits

6 posts by 5 people · 11 Jun 1996 - 18 Jun 1996

Hi, me again. How do I know when the pits have officially ended (in terms of not exceeding the speed limit)? Each track seems different with no apparent standard markings. Thanks in anticipation ------------------------------------------------- Neil Charlton -------------------------------------------------

Press alt-b before you exit your pit stall. This is your rev limiter. When your out of the pits, it will automatically let you go, then press alt-b again. Josh Josh Beaulieu

In NASCAR, the speed limit is enforced until you pass the pace car. I assume that ICR2 works the same way, but haven't raced ICR2 enough to know for sure. Still waiting for the bugs to be fixed before I get serious about it. Soon, eh Rick? <g> Dave "davids" Sparks Sequoia Motorsports

A little trick is to put on the autobrake (simulating rev limiters in pits). To do this hit alt+b screen will say autobrake on, as soon as you get out of the pits (speed increases past pit speed limit) hit alt+b again this turns autobrake off. Enjoy, Jeff.
The only problem is that sometimes the auto-break will let you go over 80 mph and then you get the blackflag...and I think that in the README.TXT file papyrus says that at some tracks auto-break will not break you in time at the entrance of a pit and will let you go before the end of the pit...I have to verify this though...see you

This "trick" is not foolproof. In fact, it doesn't work at all at Atlanta in NASCAR. The autobrakes come off at the end of the pit wall, but pit road speeds are enforced until you pass the pace car, which sticks out just far enough beyond the wall to get you a black flag just about every time.
