made my way up to 4th with 2 to go and battled with Jimmy Johnson for 3rd but could not get by him.
My tires were starting to wear but of course I stayed out, as did everyone else. By lap 8 I had a comfortable 2 second lead, then caution, darn. I managed to get myself into 1st place with 14 laps to go.
NASCAR THE GAME INSIDE LINE TRACK SETUPS HOW TO
I need to learn how to tune my car because I'm getting killed on restarts. I needed tires so I pitted as did the rest of the field. The spotter is also excellent at keeping me out of trouble. Lots of bumper to bumper racing and I must say this game does close racing very very well. After 15 to 20 laps the were looking bright red and my Crew Chief told me to come in for a new set if a wanted to stay in the race, very cool.įor most of the race I hung around at mid pack. this made a big difference as my tires went away much quicker. I took cusefan's advise and turned the damage on to full. Again it was a very competitive and excellent race. It was an 80 lapper at Vegas, great track. I did have to turn the Boggity, boggity, boggity off though. I like the little intro's each week during career mode. I was getting nervous just playing the game running that tight in a pack of cars at 190mph, I can't imagine how it feels in real life. I have a new respect for the guys that do this for a living. When racing at Daytona in a pack of cars it was nail biting.
I will also sat the in car view is excellent. and make them a bit "Smarter", and ton down how easily the cars get damaged this game will be excellent. I just couldn't hang with the lead 9 cars. I worked my way up to 10th and that was the best I could do. I managed to come out in 12th after the final caution pit stop. I spent a good part of the race in a pack of 5 cars in 17th place. This race was a 113 lapper with 3 pit stops, however there were 8 cautions, two caused by me being overly aggressive. seem to have better acceleration then I do. As for the race I started on the pole and again quickly fell back. came on to the track before they were up to speed and another A.I. At Phoenix the only pitting issue I saw was during practice. I got on the rear bumper of the 2 lead cars and managed to draft by them for the win about 5 feet before the finish line, it was incredible, I was on the edge of my seat racing. I managed to make my way to 3rd with 3 laps left. I made my way up front and on the final pit stop I came out in 10th. I Started on the pole and dropped back to 25th because I got caught in the middle with no one to draft with.
One was awesome, it happened a bit in front of me, all I could see was smoke but I manage to get through it untouched. There were 4 cautions all cause by the A.I. I ended up turning the damage off because even the slightest bump while drafting was denting the heck out of the cars. I ran the races at 30% with fuel and tire wear at X2. I started out by doing several races on different tracks to get the overall feel of the game and to see where I wanted to set the A.I. Well I picked the game up on Friday morning.
