Why so fast on Hawaii?

After patiently learning to be somewhat competitive at 100% I tried Hawaii at Atlanta and Talladega this weekend to measure myself. What's going on? I'm turning faster times in Hawaii than against 100% opponents and I'm getting passed like I was at 80%. I didn't really expect to win any races but I did expect to keep the other cars in sight. Do setups make that much of a difference? Is there a "magic" line that I'm missing? Am I just a bum? MPA

When you set your car up , instead of typing nascar -h type multi -h, you will then be using the physics model that Hawaii uses. There is quite a bit of difference. Hope this helps, Mick in Tampa -- ______________________________________________________________________ | ____ ___ ___| | Mike Schreiner |CNSRL ADMIN. | ---\ / / /__ | |http://pages.prodigy.com/CNSRL | | --\ / /---/_ | | "Mick" on Hawaii |Earnhardt Rules!!| --\/ / / | |_______________________________|_________________|_____________/______|

1. The hawaii Multi.exe program uses different physics that accounts for your speed difference. 2. We're never as good as we think we are, as we find when playing actual people. Not meant as a slam as I found myself in the same situation. Setup is crucial at certain tracks, the standard setups just won't cut it against a lot of these guys unless you're running iroc of course. So having knoweledge of what does what helps. Practicing with the multi.exe offline helps also, and soon you become a middle of the pack driver like me! :-) Brian Kinkaid bnk29 on Hawaii

I can start 39th at Taladega and finish first in a 5% race against the AI cars. On Hawaii I can't even qualify in the top ten. -- Chuck Stuart - Mesquite TX USA RaceTime utility program for Nascar1/Indycar2. http://www.metronet.com/~cstuart/

Hawaii multi physics are different....you run faster. To practice type multi or multi -h You can only test but you'll see the difference in the handling.
