After installing the version upgrade to my nascar game, my previous track times are no longer attainable. I had a qualifying setup for Talledega that does 196's in 2 lap qualifying and 200.5 in practice (qual. setup).Now it does'nt come close to that 200 lap ave. Is this usual,or what? I can qualify on the pole at 99% opp. strength with a 194.xxx, but the 195.xxx needed at 100% is very difficult even with the T2. Does the upgrade cause this?

I found the same thing after I installed the UG, my previous lapspeeds were history. It doesnt have anything to do with your controller, I think Papy changed the grip of several tracks. Trevor Thomas Thomas Enterprises (Makers of the TSW) http://www.ia.net/~thomas Anamosa, Iowa

I could go through the actual answer, but instead I urge reading of the README.TXT files that come with your programs and upgrades. Which tracks were "fixed" are addressed in this file along with Talledega issues. One hint though: Take a look at the new *.stg files that were added (these will give you tips on getting your speed up). -- **************************** Michael E.

Yes, there should be a text file included detailing all the changes. Both the speeds and the draft were changed at Talladega, making the speeds slower (and a little more realistic). John

This was done intentionally by papyrus to be faithful to the actual racing situation. After the game was produced, NASCAR introduced, in certain tracks, Restriction Plates on engines to block airflow in order to reduce horsepower (from approx. 700 to 400) and speed. Papyrus updated accordingly.
