hi...I am in a race....running midfield when my right tires are going dangerously close to blowing....i gotta pit....there is 14 laps to go and the estimated fuel comsumption is 21 laps so no need for fuel...I tried to get it to change just my right side tires...but it wanted to add 16 gallons of gas....I couldn't adjust it...I believe the manual says you can...is that true? it cost me i am sure....so then I could go another 58 laps but only needed 14...which i had enough fuel for...what's up with that? anyone know why?? thanks... jon

I agree. I loved the concept of "splash-and-go" in N1 and used it to win many a race in that game.

So that's TWO critical features they had in N1 that didn't make it into the N2 "series": the other is Last Lap AND Best Lap onscreen simultaneously. "Gunner"

>it wanted to >add 16 gallons of gas....I couldn't adjust it...I believe the manual >says you can...is that true? The manual says that the crew chief will determine fuel needed. Toward the end of the race, I've even heard my spotter say "We'll just need a splash to finish," or words to that effect. Seems to me in N99 you can hit F3 and use the > and < keys to request fuel load. I know you could in N2. Could some features be missing according to computer capacity? Trey Behan

You can not adjust the fuel load during a race in N2 and NR1999. The only time you can do it is when you select "testing" as the weekend type on the quick race screen. This info is in the readme file of each game!
