FG: Nascar IX: Pit Stop Part II

Spaced, think about it. Why would I chose to go off track and lose one top speed, where I could easily have avoided it by making one extra turn the turn before, and have gone through the whole turn without ever slowing down at all. I made a mistake, and hurt myself.

I agree that the rules should be modified for the next race though on this topic.

Really, you are talking to a guy who sent in orders 10 ahead. I even noticed that you wouldn't have made the turn by not slowing down 3 or 4 turns before the curve. If you want to make that turn you have to set it up perfectly. I don't think that it is doable a speed 10 or above.

[snoopy369]

He's sway ... i think he can do it, barely, at 10 or 11.

You think wrong. Let's go back to the turn just before I made the mistake. This is how it should have been:

As you can see, I would have been waaay better off than I am now.

[snoopy369]

You're actually a turn off, because of the misnamed Turn 35, given that your turn 38 and rah's puts you in a better position NOW than before, but we get the picture

In a word: No I have this feeling you'll get hit once this turn and once next ... You could always just take the outside ... no, wait, then teh oil would get ya ... no, sparrow, you're quite screwed
