NASCAR Racing 2 lap records at Charlotte and Darlington

Players compared NASCAR Racing 2 speeds with a full 22-gallon fuel load, reporting low to mid 180s mph at Charlotte and around 170 at Darlington at 70 degrees with no wind. A site was set up to collect setups and lap times, and some asked that times be quoted instead of speeds.

Drivers: Is someone keeping these records. I finally got to 181 at C***te. Finally got a setup that I dont have to lift in turns 3 and 4. I do have to lift for a second in turns 1 and 2.. Don Wilshe, IVGA

I started a NASCAR 2 page that has cars, setups, and best lap times. Goto [link lost in import] out and don't forget to send your lap times and the setups at the specific page. -- Eric Treaster [link lost in import]

Well, let's see... I'm turning 174's on the apron and 172's against the wall. Haven't actually been able to run in the groove yet. :) dglenn
Me too, Running way too slow at C***te. The car is way, way too touchy here, esp. ace setup. Please post that great setup you speak of. Until I find help, I have given up on C***te!

Don, I have a 182.9! I lift briefly in both corners but I'm running a loose setup which is the key! Pete

Don... what gave you the idea that you should go through turns 3 & 4 without "lifting" off the gas pedal?.. I'm running mid 183's with 22 gallons of fuel and I lift.... temp at 70 degrees, no wind (default setting) and my setup isn't loose..

Charlie: Your right.. I set the temps to 70 and lifted and did a couple of 184's Thanks... Don PS. Loyal Grasshopper!!!!

Just starting playing Darlington last night and I think this is going to be a difficult track to pass on in NRO. After figuring out the driving line I'm starting to hit mid 165's. This is at 85 deg. with no wind. What looks like a good number to hit here? Thanks Pete
170's Pete. It's a tough track but once you figure out the line it all comes around.

Thanks, Alec! More tweaking for me to do then! :) Pete > 170's Pete. It's a tough track but once you figure out the line it all comes around.

Are you sure you're at 70 degrees and not 50 degrees:)?
Charlie Mo 03 Jan 1997#351583
170's at 70 degrees.... no wind...and as always.. full tanks of fuel. I've seen where guys are "saying" they're hitting 171's at 70 degrees no wind-God Bless'm:)...

LOL! I have no idea what I'm running MPH, I got used to lap times during the beta and have no intention of turning back now. Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

Can we all please start talking in lap TIMES rather than lap speed averages? :-) Kyle Langston _________________________________ http://www.traction.git.net/nrcentral/
