Grip with Nascar 2

11 posts by 8 people · 16 Aug 1997 - 20 Aug 1997

I crash pretty often, which I don't hear to many people saying they do, but when I do crash I sometimes lose more than one tire(must of the time I seem to lose 3), my problem being I can't get back to the pits. My engine is still running...so why can't they they have button you can push to call the tow truck to take you back to the pits. Not to sure about Nascar rules, but if a driver needs assistance can he continue to race? I know last week race when drivers would go into the sand pits a truck would pull them out and they would continue, was that an exception?

Once your at a complete stop, hold the <ALT> key and press the <I> key. After a painfully long wait for the tow and repairs you can get back on the track as long as your motor is ok.

Hit "Alt-I", that will call the tow truck. Sometimes it takes a while, but it will show up eventually. As far as assistance goes for NASCAR, pretty much anything goes, as long as you don't change engines, you can bring your car back out. Unlike F1 there is a reason to continue running.

Hehehe, Yeah, I like to smash em up, too, especially after a dumb move puts me far in arrears, with not enough laps left to have a good finish... I love to go back and watch crash replays, in different views...i get some cool ones from time to time. -- Sit down,,Strap in,,Shut up,,Hang on,,Go fast,,Turn left,,Kiss Trophy Girl GGGGGGgoooo #3,,,31,,,28,,,94,,,6,,,5,,,18,,,8,,, Handy^man

Last year I took out 26 cars, including myself, at Atlanta (but not on purpose, it was an accident, really, truly). I've got the replay if anyone wants me to send it to 'em. Gary Saucier
Now that's something I'd like to see... 26 cars!? Could I get a look at that? I must admit myself that I've had N2 since March and I have yet to complete a race with the damage enabled. I'm too much of an agressive driver, and I do kind of enjoy crashing. The same goes with GP2. Maybe one day I'll get serious and start racing for real. Best N2 crash I had was when I came out of pit road at Talladega and got nailed by Terry Labonte, I must have spun at least 40 times and took out about 10 cars. I thought I saved it on replay, but I couldn't find it. I'll just have to do it again. :) Wilfredo

Listen to this. I was at Talladega and Ernie Irvan got into me. Caused a HUGE wreck, about 20 cars! Then here comes Rick mast at about 190 and hits the back on Jeff Gordon who's dead in the water. . . Mast's car flies backwards, reaching a top speed of 358!!!! He went all the way from the tri-oval entrance to the middle of T3&4!! I got the replay if anyone doesn't believe me either! -- PolePosition#3- IVGA #4882 I think you can figure out the SPAM filter.
