ICR2 Realism (Speed)

I've just bought ICR2 and I've been racing around a bit. I was wondering if I should be able to beat the lap record at Milwaukee so easily. I used the QUALFAST setup and beat the Andretti lap by 3mph on only my 20th lap around the thing. I can't beat the road course records (yet) but I come awfully close. Should I be able to do this. Why does it seem so easy to go fast? Thanks for the comments. Stu

our test driver. I need to get rid of that other bloke for next season since he wants to get paid more than 50,000L, unbelievable. Look forward to hearing from you, Frank.

It is more that likely tied to the fact the internally Papyrus calculates the length of most of its tracks differently than the real counterpart. -- **************************** Michael E.

I used the QUALFAST setup and beat the Andretti lap by 3mph <snip> <snip> The Papyrus track lengths have some effect in speed calculations, but there's also something wrong with the car or track physics model. Milwaukee ICR2 record is currently 19.319 seconds (T. de Racovitza), Paul Tracy got pole with second slower time (20.448) in 96. Milwaukee was repaved and it was about 10 mph slower last year. ICR2 is based on 1995 season, so the difference between real world and simulation is is even larger, maybe 1.5 or 2 seconds. Pasi.

It sure is... Let me see a real Indy doing a 1:04:9xx on Laguna Seca! (ICR1) Yves

So EASY?!? How the HELL are you doing this? I'm about 10-12 mph off most of the ovals, and probably about 10-15 seconds off on the road courses. I got so pissed off at the program that I barely run it...and only for PRO96. And YES, I put in practice laps. Several tanks of gas, at several tracks, with no noticable improvement. :( NOT a happy camper... ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

1:04 ?!? Geez, I can't even do a 1:15! ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?
