Use the Force, TheForce. Eh ok seriously... Have you tried recalibrating? Do you use any driving aids in-game? From what I see, you are racing offline without any restrictor plate. Talladega races on WON is mostly restricted races. Do you loose the draft? -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Ok, I know exactly, with the speeds ur hitting, talking 212 consistant, by some chance, might you be running non plate or arcade mode during single race mode? Because to my knowledge, in the draft in simulation mode with plates, the best one can do as top speed at the end of the stretch is roughly 206 in the draft, can vary, but not too much.

Maybe someone out there can explain this. I have spent a lot of time tuning my car to make it faster. Example--at Taladega I can run a consistant lap average of 201mph, hitting 212-213 at the end of the back straight. I go online to try my luck and I'm lucky if I can hit 196 on the back straight. It doesn't make any difference if the host has a fixed setup or not. After three laps the leader is 10 seconds ahead---bullshit. What the hell is going on? Are they cheating? How come my setups don't work online? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I would venture to guess that you are correct and he is running in arcade mode I think with nonplates he would be hitting 220s at the end of the backstretch Mark F. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
