VALIDATE YOUR NASCAR 2 SETUPS

Drivers: One of the great features of FASTLAP 97 even if you dont use it for FASTLAPPING is it will go through your entire NASCAR 2 directory and check all your SETUPS and make sure they are LEGAL. If you have any ILLEGAL SETUPS it will let you know. Based on many drivers input to us it appears that a very very large number of SETUPS downloaded from the NET are illegal and they find this to be a very handy tool...

Fastlap told me that 2 of my Darlington setups have Tire pessures of 65, which they don't. -- PolePosition#3- IVGA #4882 The Checkered Flag(NASCAR2): http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/4578/n2sim.html My Unofficial Dale Earnhardt Fan Page: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/4578/nascar.html The Dale Earnhardt Fan Ring: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/4578/dalering.html "If you don't believe, you don't belong." -- Alan Kulwicki's Credo

Those that have non-standard rear camber, front air dam, or stagger settings. -- MSmith1411 wrote in article

How can A setup be illegal? What constitutes an illegal setup? Mark

This is true. I took a Martinsville setup and copied it to my Pocono directory and didn't know anything was wrong with it, UNTIL fastlap said illeagal setup!! YIKES Sean Higgins Higgy

Er... I meant to say stagger, but I guess the tracks could have different rear camber settings as well. I've never looked into this though. --

How does one change the front air dam? Raceset2 ise flagging me for a setting of 350 instead of the "said" legal value of 400!?!?!?!?!?

How did you get that setup? Did you make it yourself for that track in the garage, or is you download it or try one from a different track? BTW, what's raceset2? --

After the patches, the setups are "legalized" upon loading into the game, so having an illegal setup on your disk doesn't translate into having an illegal setup in the game. Before the patches, air dam and stagger were legalized on load. ---Jim Sokoloff

BTW, 350 is really 3.50 450 is really 4.50 and so on. I knew this was going to cause confusion. The file encodes these values as integers instead of floating point numbers. David Martin write and producer of RaceSet for NASCAR

Actually, this would make sense if the NASCAR mandated front air dam height were different between Martinsville and Pocono. Mike
