N3 Talledega/199.96 MPH.....

I've run hundreds of laps on the N3 Talledega speedway, and I just cannot break the 200mph average. Sure I get up to 206 on the straitway, but my highest average speed is 199.96mph. (usually 198.5-199.25mph) I'm using the "ACE" setup with just enough grill tape to keep it from overheating. I have adjusted the 4th gear ratio from 3.00 to 3.25 (and everywhere in between)and the spoiler is at its lowest angle. (btw I'm using the ACT Force RS wheel) Does anyone have any suggestions for this track to break 200Mmph? Have you done it? I don't know much about the camber and weight options so any advice with these would help. I'm going crazy (loving every minute of it) trying to break 200mph ;) Any help would be appreciated.

Remove the restrictor plate? ;-) P.S. It can be done by changing a setting in one of the txt files... not sure exactly which setting or which file. Jeff

You don't need to remove the plate to break 200mph. Keep the 4th gear at 3.10 and just keep the car as low as possile in the turns. Turn in gently. You should be able to do it after practice. we are talking 70 degrees here. -- Kevin Anderson --------------------------------------------------- DK-Racing #15 K_Anderson ------------------------------------------------- http://www.awtech.net/ http://www.nascar-3.com/ > Remove the restrictor plate? ;-) > P.S.

You do not have to remvoe the plate to have 200+ laps, me and a friend race about every night and we both run laps of 201, to 202 and even 203 and 204 in the draft. But, we are running at 40 degrees. > You don't need to remove the plate to break 200mph. Keep the 4th gear at > 3.10 and just keep the car as low as possile in the turns.

Some helpful fellow advised me to set all shocks at 100% That helped!!

wow... that actually helped? haven't tried it but now I'm curious... can't imagine it handlin' too well - especially in heavy traffic....?

Are you talking about by yourself, or even in a good draft... if you're running those speeds with no other cars around, ya got NO problems.... <G> If you are drafting (and staying in the draft) and just can't quite get there - 4th gear is pretty much best left at 3.10 - I run with all four tires at 60psi and it helps - probably the most important part of a fast lap at 'dega is the line.... don't bind the car down and stay just as smooooooth as you possibly can, no sudden corrections, no weaving......

Best lap speed at Talladega is 201.388. Setup as follows: Tires 60 psi all around Camber L +0.60 R -2.20 4th Gear 3.10 Shocks 100% all around F/R Bias 1725 lbs Left/Right Bias 1900 lbs Wedge 40 lbs Steering 5 degrees Spoiler Angle 45 degrees Grille Tape 70% Front Sway Bar 1" Rear Sway Bar 1 3/16" Weather is set to random and I do not remove the restrictor plate. Which I recall you can do by changing the value 1 to 0 on the line SPDWY in the file taladega.txt under the Papyrus/Nascar3/tracks/taladega folder. Jeff

The 201.338 was actually leading a draft group of about 5 cars. We went for about 7 laps with me leading each lap and was basically hitting 201 each of the 7 laps. Jeff

Actually, it's pretty realistic to have nonoptimal shocks for handling at Tally to get speed. Got so bad (no bounce damping, lotta rebound, "jacked" the car down) that NASCAR had to institute rules for shocks. bob

Ben Yes I'm running this speed with no other cars.(no drafting) I still feel that I should be able to run a 200mph average without drafting. tonight.......

Jeff Thanks for the setup info! I'll let you know when I break it :) Ivan Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

The only new NASCAR rule for shock is that all teams have to run the new shocks that NASCAR gives to each team for the plate races. Teams calll them "Goverment" shocks ( ie like "Government" Cheese ). No more of the trick shocks that drops the car height level under accelleration and let it raise back up upon slowing down so it meet meet height rules. I After the test last week at Daytona, the new shocks worked as the cars are running in the high 180's agian. The trucks were the fastest at 190mph, Nascar wasnt happy, and the rumor is they are going plate racing too. Got so bad (no bounce damping, lotta

We do with the default "fixed" setup all the time in the draft. Don't need ACE to break 200. With ACE (unchanged) you should be averaging 204 or better in a tight draft. With "Fixed" setup all of the AI cars will turn 200 at 99% at 75 degrees.

send me your email and ill get you a setup .....200 is easily reached. but its all in the driving. stay low.... redd. hope to hear from you soon. check out www.alladvantage.com they pay you to surf the net(.50 a hour).tell them ecb-040 referred you when asked.

make sure to turn off all helps. you barely need the break at tally. redd hope to hear from you soon. check out www.alladvantage.com they pay you to surf the net(.50 a hour).tell them ecb-040 referred you when asked.

Barely need the brake? I don't think you need it at all.

i agree the break is not needed at all. unless you fall behind considerably slower traffic and have to slow quickly. but thru the regular running of the laps the break isn't needed. redd hope to hear from you soon. check out www.alladvantage.com they pay you to surf the net(.50 a hour).tell them ecb-040 referred you when asked.

While in the draft. It's better than letting off the gas. Racer X Veteran Sim Racer Victory Lane- http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/1423/

oh dear, missed that one . . .

200mph is a decent (not great) qualifying lap.

I was under the impression that quite a few cars break at Tally now and then? -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

200mph can be broken!:) I did it but during a race at a 100%. My lap record is 202.63mph using the Ace settings.

I've achieved an average lap record of 202.63mph during a race at 100%. They race a lot faster and better at that speed.
