<shameless bragging mode ON> Well, after two days of trying, I FINALLY "Beat the Pro" at Daytona, in Expert mode with my own car setup I spent days perfecting. It seems NASCAR Heat is very realistic. I was able to go faster by softening the rear of the car to get it down out of the wind. Anyhow, I managed to get a good run out of turn 4 to take the white flag and led by a few feet over Little E's Ghost car heading down into turn one. I managed to get the car to bite and held him off out of turn 2 and we were running side-by-side down the backstretch. I was able to hold the car down low in turns 3 and 4 and got a good run out of turn 4 to win by about one foot. It was awesome! </shameless bragging mode OFF> :) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com
Well done :) Still trying to master going in a straight line myself *vbg* (enough to draft properly anyway) Got some nice laps under my belt though, 46.144 at Daytona is my PB, but getting it consistent is another matter, and weaving all down the straights isn't helping either.
