SE8: Nascar TopGear Test Track Thread

[rhpamman82]

Dear GT5ers,

Ok, so I don't have all the time in the world to practice, but after 3 hours yesterday, I could only find a set-up that got my Nascar around the track in 1:07.5 something. At the time, I was over the moon placed 21st. Today, I'm below 100 in the rankings

So, are there are racers out there who could give us mere amateurs a few tips on how to get our times sub 1:06, I just can't seem to control the wheel spin out of the corners.

I hope this thread becomes a good forum in sharing good set-ups, racing lines etc. My first tip to start off with, is at the beginning, rather than turn the corner to start the lap, instead reverse to the barrier and start from there, this will significantly increase your starting speed across the line

Cheers,
rhp82amman.

i wish it was a standing start instead of the rolling & as you metioned you back up to the barrier to get speed...imagine the STIG doing that

nice one, but I never actually stopped, always rolling....... nothing wrong with using every inch of the track available.
thx.
