Is there away to increase the probability of a caution to come out. Thats not very clear, so let me explain my problem. Had a head-to-head modem race at Atlanta last weekend. 39 drivers. Everything was going good, until the my racing partner toed into the wall. Had to come to a complete stop to get away from the wall. Shouldn't a yellow flag have come out? It didn't. Well, trying to get back up to speed on the outside was a nightmare for him. Finally, after an AI car hit him and after the track was plugged with wrecked cars, the yellow flag came out. I think, that the whole disaster could have been avoided by having the yellow drop when his car came to a complete stop on the track. I like the fact that the yellow doesn't fly everytime you tap an AI car (I am exaggerating!). Is there a setting to adjust what will cause the yellow to fly? What are NASCARs rules on the yellow flag? So far, We have had two caution free races, and both times there where incidences that should have brought out a yellow. Granted once we had the yellows turned off. Luckly, we both were spared getting tangled up in those incidences. Altanta was a first race with a caution and it came out alot later then I would have thought it would have. And for a reason for not having the yellow waved sooner. Any ideas? Thad
Usually multiple cars have to be involved unless the one car has caused several others to stop on the track or it is disabled.
