.25 to 1 MPH at Most Tracks

Drivers: Well I havent caused any problems lately, by simple telling the truth, but I will tell you that in all a SPEED SECRET from my experience of racing NASCAR 1 and 2. I have always found that thier is a difference in speed of at least .5 mph between VGA and SVGA mode. To Many people think just because someone is .5 mph faster that he is cheating. But this is just one example of something each of you could have done. We had this problem in NASCAR 1 back when we raced on the BBS, we no about this because as reported by several drivers in both FASTLAP and RACE96 during all of last year. Now we have been racing HAWAII for over a year and I bet less than 30 people out of 5000 new that VGA was .5 mph faster than SVGA. Why its simple. The less graphics NASCAR has to deal with the faster you can go. Now Im not talking about the average joe here. I am talking about splitting milliseconds in the TOP 50 Drivers at HAWAII.. I havent tested this yet on NASCAR 2, but I dont see any reason that it would have gotten fixed. BOTTOM LINE: Less Graphics, Faster Speed, Better Traction. Its sort of a new twist on the old traction bug. VGA mode has different advantages depending on what type of track you are racing. Some Times it outright straight-away speed, some times its traction getting off the corners.. Don Wilshe, IVGA

I think the same applies to having a faster computer..

>I think the same applies to having a faster computer.. I would agree to some extent. Also I would say that the players co-ordination is enhanced due to the faster graphics update. The info they recieve from the graphics would more fluent, so maybe the players reation time is that much more co-ordinated. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports (Memeber of the Nascar Offline Racing Series) Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand

Ok....hmm, lets take C***te for just an example. .5mph at C***te is roughly 8 hundreths of a second. If you can make two perfect laps, one in VGA and another in SVGA then compare them, you might have a valid point. But I don't think that those '30 people' can pull two laps down to the microsecond in order to do a scientific comparison. Maybe you have some special program to do this, in that case I may be wrong...but if you have a program to run laps for you... Berg

No Special Program, just 3 years of thousands of laps don
