I have tried to finish a race at Matinsville for the last few days and I can not do it without crashing 3 or 4 times. Lapped traffic is terrible!! The A-1 cars seem to cut you off coming out of the turns. Has anyone else had problems at this track? Kerry Grant
I'm practising a Martinsville as it is the next race for the Nascar Offline Racing Series and I also find that the AI are pretty agressive. I find it better to keep low when approching the turns in order to hold the car behind from cutting inside my rear bumper, otherwise they end up spinning me around. If I'm not running with someone close behind me I run out on the wall down the straights then cut in close to the kerb in the turn. Best I have done at this track is 89.077 mph average lap speed (21.258 sec). Gonna have to do better if I going to come in near the front at 100% AI -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand

I have figured that if your going to give a nose to pass, better check up before you wreck, but fully die by side is ok. Also, they are extremely aggressive when your are a half a car length side by side. So when your not sure, check up, and save yourself from a wreck. It works for me. Not one wreck yet. -- Sincerely, Mark Come And Visit My Very Own Page Of "SimGo"!!! With Cars, Setups, Utilities, And more to Come!

Raced Martinsville last night at 100% and won (for the first time) The AI is very aggressive here. I think the best way to take care of this is to be very aggressive, too. Stay low around the track when in traffic and learn to carve low into the turns. About midway thru the turns (75-80mph) start rolling on the throttle. You should be ahead of the AI you went into the turn with coming out of the turn, kinda cut him off coming outta the turns. You can pass on the outside, well sorta. But if your setup is loose this can be tricky. Come into the turn on the high side(left wheels on the concrete, rights on the asphalt) with the AI beside you. By midway thru the turn let the AI get ahead of you a bit as you see the AI start to slide out towards the wall coming outta the turn, point the car towards the middle/low side of the track and punch it! Be careful cause if your not actually straight you could spin. If all else fails and you can't seem to pass some AI for awhile and he is slowing you down just tap him from behind on the straights right before you enter a turn, this will push him to the outside a bit and slow you down enough to get under the AI for the pass! Remember just light taps, don't slam into the back of him and damage your car! Hope this helps
