Darlington Start/Finish swap

4 posts by 4 people · 27 Jul 1997 - 31 Jul 1997

Hi all, This may have been asked before but I haven't been reading this NG lately. Has anyone figured out if you can swap the start/finish line at Darlington in NASCAR 1 and NASCAR 2, including the flagstand and having the field take the flags at the appropriate place? Please post a response or e-mail me. Thank you in advance. Gary Saucier

It would just be the same thing because isnt the banking in the turns 1 & 2 the same as 3 & 4?
>It would just be the same thing because isnt the banking in the turns 1 & 2 >the same as 3 & 4? Darlington? The lady in black? Too tough to tame? No way! Turns 1&2 are alot tighter in real life and in the sim. There was a minnow pond behind T2 that influenced the track's distinct "egg" shape. The T3/T4 end is the tricky one since you can carry alot more speed tru there and the T4 exit can be disastrous. (Due to the high speeds, change in banking, and the outside wall coming in to meet you :-) ). The entrance to T3 is one of the most critical parts about driving Darlington in the sim. I do not have an answer for Gary about swapping the s/f line. I suspect papyrus will have to make some changes to get everything swapped over to the other side. -- Best Wishes!!!

Same with Atlanta changing shape and moving S/F line to current backstretch... -- Remove the "NOSPAM" to reply. Andy Roberts http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/5314/
