Tip 1:

------

There are no "tricks" to becoming a good NASCAR driver. 

As in the real world, it takes perseverance and 

hour upon hour of seat time. And a good, long 

examination of the wonderful manual/strategy guide 

is something you must do. 

 

Tip 2:

------

If you can perfect your line on a given track so 

that it rarely, if ever, varies, you've gone a 

long way toward mastering the smoothness and 

consistency this game requires. Furthermore, 

once you've begun your garage work, you need to 

know that extra half second was the result of 

better tinkering, not better driving. 

 

Tip 3:

------

When making modifications to your car, always 

make just one or two at a time--that way you'll 

know what helped and what didn't. Also, save each 

newly altered car under a new filename or you'll 

be screwed faster than Bill Clinton. 

 

Tip 4:

------

When it comes to controlling high-end racing sims, 

joysticks blow. Go out and get yourself a good 

wheel-and-pedal unit. Right now. 

 

Tip 5:

------

Of all the data the game supplies, perhaps the most 

critical is the tire temperatures. What you want 

your setup to do is keep them even across the width 

of each tire after a bunch of hot laps. Doing so means 

more rubber is contacting the ground, and your tires, 

in all likelihood, will last longer and be more effective. 

Of course, a lot of factors go into even tire temps, 

so don't be disappointed if it takes you some time, 

perhaps several hours or more, to get it right. 

 

Tip 6:

------

On the track, a fast frame rate is absolutely fundamental 

for detecting minor fluctuations early enough to 

correct them. Turn off nonessential graphics options or 

use the game as a good excuse to upgrade your computer 

or video card. 

 

Tip 7:

------

Starting a race with no pace lap means you'll get a good 

chance at picking up lots of early positions.
