ICR2 Surfer's Paradise setup

Hi All: I just started testing at Surfer's Paradise today. I can't get any traction with the "stock" settings. What kind of wing settings are you running??? You must have to crank 'em down from the stock settings in order to get some traction... Thanks in advance.

I think if you download a few of the outrageously fast hotlaps from the net you will find that the most important section of Surfer's Paradise is the final chicane on the back straight. To go fast here, you have to find the line which will let you fly through this chicane as fast as possible, probably at 150+ mph. Go ahead and get two wheels off as often as possible around the track--from the hotlaps I've seen, the fastest way around depends on using the grass liberally. Good think there are no curbs! Just browse the web and you can find all sorts of great setups for the various tracks. Clark

Yeah, it is very narrow especially through the chicanes. You have to get two wheels on the grass for faster times. Forget taking them like the AI does. I managed to turn a 1:29.XXX one time on qualifying setup. I have heard people turning 1:25.XXX laps but it escapes me how they do it! Have fun, Surfer's Paradise is a pretty fun course IMO. --

I have managed to turn a *magical* lap at 1:11.XXX. I emphasize magical as it seems it is a bug in the program. My second fastest lap was only 1:39.XXX!

Yeah, I ran a lap at around 1:16.xxx something including a crash. I came in too hot at the first chicane on the back straight, hit the wall kinda weird exiting and found myself spinning crazily near the Marriot. After regaining my composure I took off for the S/F line, crossing the stripe some 1:16+ after beginning the lap. Of course, the teleport bug helped out a bit... :-) I can normally run about 1:30 in qualifying trim, but haven't managed to crack 1:28 at all. -- Brian Wong Enterprise Engineering

Gee, I guess I need to work on my set up some more... I haven't been able to break 1:46 yet. Though I've only been playing for about two weeks now. I've got the AI cars set at 85% and they leave me in the dust in the chicanes that I'm skating though. Back to the garage!!!

I've viewed legitimate replays of drivers doing a lap at Surfer's in 1:16.XXX; it can only be done with a flat-out banzai run through the double chicane. My best is 1:34.XXX, but I haven't tried Surfer's since the patch. -- +-------------------+----Insight Football League Webpage----+ | G.
