Sears Point in ICR2 - traction problem

Hi For a bit of fun I've started a championship season in ICR2 using some tracks from Nascar. Most of them really are quite good (I love racing at Talladega, Atlanta and Pocono). However, I'm having all sorts of problems with Sears Point. The problem is traction (the lack of it). I'm sliding all over the place, even with full wing. Is Sears Point actually as greasy as this - or is there a bug in the software? It's a shame really, since the track layout really is nice. But if it keeps up like this I'll have to remove it from the calendar. On the otherhand, it may be me! cheers Alan -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The views/opinions expressed here are my own and do not in any way reflect the views/opinions of my employer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have it also and I can beat the AI's car by 6secs!!! No sliding for me but the second corner and thats with the default setup?!?!?!?! Try getting version 2 of the track converters from the Pit http://www.theuspits.com and then try it again. Thanks, Andrew. :Check out the best Auto Sim links page on the net!! :Links to GP1, GP2, Indycar 1 & 2 and Nascar 1 & 2. :Check it out now at http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~andyrobe :I'll see you there.

I've done some actual track time at Sears Point, and it really is that slippery. the track is a series of very short, technical and vertically changing turns. It's exciting and challening, but it is not a good place to crash. If you ever watch Nascar or AMA Superbike racing, everyone is sliding all over the place. -r -- Robin Chung F2's name is Gillian Senior Performance Architect, MTI-V F-1 Vehicle Dynamicist AMA#699255 HRC#HM402849 FAX:(510) 642 4769 "You know, if it's not a headboard, it's just not worth it."
