Need secrets for N2

I need anything that can help me go faster. I don't care if its cheating because I only drive against AI cars. I do not race in a racing league either. So if you know of any secrets where I can go faster please write me and tell me. I have to drive with braking help on and drive an Automatic.

Secret number one - turn off the damn braking help and start shifting. The auto-trans shifts way too soon and never downshifts - resulting in poor acceleration at most short tracks. The braking help also is a major hinderence to speed. As for cheating - what is the fun in cheating ? If you can cheat and smoke 38 computer generated cars - I doubt there is much satisfaction in that. In fact - the most fun is when you run a track where your setup is just a touch off and you have to scratch and claw to stay up front - then you take two tires on your last stop - get the lead and try and hold off some faster race cars. /THansen

Turn Auto Braking off and slow down.....concentrate on a smooth line with out jamming on and off the brakes. Coast going into the turns and concentrate on easing on the gas sooner exiting the turns. I am sure most would agree that the biggest secret to this game is long hours of seat time... practice, practice, practice!! good luck!! David / Vetteracer (on Hawaii)

You can't go fast with it on. You'll be surprised at the difference. If you still have to run with braking help, then you should reduce the opponent strength to match your strength. David Martin

I agree. Very much so. Cheating against the AI is worse than cheating against humans. At least there is a question whether the humans are also cheating. The AI don't cheat, they just drive like maniacs sometimes. :-) It would take you about 4 weeks to be able to compete at 100% opponent strength with NASCAR 1. NASCAR 2 is much easier to improve. If you are using the stock setups that come with N2, try adjusting them. They can all be improved by reducing the drag components. Joe Farr is a great source of information. His track guides and setups will have you trading paint with Mark Martin instead of J. Bohart. :-) David Martin

Have you noticed that you can change the %strength of the opposing drivers? Doesn't make you go faster, makes the other cars go slower. Same result. But why not get some enjoyment out of the game, and learn how to drive without the aids on? When all else fails, read the instructions.
