NASCAR tracks -> ICR2?

Ok, I just had to try it :-) I copied the track directories from NASCAR to ICR2 (Talledega, Watkins Glen, and Sears Point). I guess the pit grid positions must be different in ICR and NASCAR since you always start from somewhere offtrack... At Watkins Glen my crew hangs out in Turn 1! Probably we could go edit the .TXT file to fix this, although I don't knwo what the various numbers means... I did a few laps at Talledega and found that I couldn't go much faster there in an IndyCar than in a NASCAR. I sort of remember that this is a limitation of the fudging? -- Brian Wong Systems Engineering Group (Servers)

Copy the Michigan ACE setup to the Talladega track directory and you'll be able to go 232-235MPH. Not much faster though.

The reason you can't go as fast at these tracks is because the track-files contain the setup info, so it is setting up your indycar like a nascar, which isn't very cool. Fiddle with the setup and it will speed up. Jive Me >-- >Brian Wong Systems Engineering Group (Servers)
