NASCAR 2 bug: Anyone else have this...?

A friend (Lyman) and and I hooked up on NASCAR 2 last night. He has a "Daytona" (Talladega renamed) and I don't. I have Talladega with no restrictor plate; his Talladega has a plate. Anyways, I call him. He chooses Talladega to run (HIS Talladega, with plate). We get int o the track, no practice, no qualifying, 2 cars (me and him). We take our pac elap, adn come around for the green. Pace car in, we (well, I) take off. I LEFT HIM in the dust. He says to me (over voice phone line), "You got Talladega set for no plate?" I say, "Yeah..." (because I'm practicing for our first race). He asks me how fast I'm running going into turn 3; I tell him, "About 223..." "That's interesting," he replies. See, it turns out that one car can run with no plate and the other can run with the plate. Didn't think you could do that. Thought that the answering computer controlled the track parameters. Apprently, it doesn't have any effect on the plate setting though. Can anyone tell us if there is a way to keep this from happening...? Jimmy

Put the plate back on, on your computer...

The restrictor plate "feature" has been around since the intro of N1, where one driver can have the plate, while the other doesn't. Marc Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing News - USA http://members.aol.com/simracing
