You want to keep it below 215 or else you risk it overheating in a race where the draft plays more of a role and further increases this temp. Run the amount of practice laps I provided above and keep an eye on your engine temp. I'll also add that engine temp is crucial. This, along with camber alignment, will likely take 5+ practice sessions to perfect. Once you have your camber properly aligned, adjust tire pressures on all 4 tires until the coolest section is within 5 degrees of the warmest section. I recommended using ×3 tire wear and running 3-15 laps (15 for short tracks, 10 for intermediate, 5 for plate, 3 for road course) in a practice session while keeping your eye on the temps right before you head back to the garage. Firstly, adjust camber until the LF outside temp is 0-3 degrees warmer than the inside temperature, and the RF inside temp is 0-3 degrees warmer than the outside temp. It's been 10 years since I've had a NASCAR game and I'm loving it, but I want to be able to perform better at it too, so I need some learning from the community. (I remember, I think it was one of my GT games, where adjusting that would basically tilt the entire gear ratio graph left or right.) And the Rear End is the overall ratio, where shifting that shifts ALL the gears toward acceleration or top speed. I believe it's - smaller numbers = faster acceleration, higher numbers = higher top speed but longer acceleration. Gear settings: I used to play with these somewhat in the past.Steering offset, IIRC, is how much the wheel is actually turned right because the wheels of the car are designed to make the car drift to the left (I believe they're actually different sizes, slightly. I'm not sure, but I think that's the maximum amount the wheel turns. Grille tape I know - it covers the radiator opening for better aero but also restricts air to the radiator and reduces cooling. Brake bias I believe is the front vs rear braking power, but I'm not sure what adjusting that would do. Sway bars and track bars are terms I've heard but never understood. Misc.: Camber IIRC is the tilt of the wheel outward (which is why left is positive and right is negative).Lower pressure = better acceleration and handling but worse wear, higher pressure = better wear and top speed but worse handling. I know it shifts the weight balance of the car, but I never can recall how. But I never can remember what exactly wedge does. ![]() Weight: Left and Front Weight make sense, as does the ride height. ![]() If I were to guess, it would be the tightness for the compression and decompression of the shocks, but what actually does what? Shocks: Bump and rebound, front and back.So pretty much, I'm feeling like a noob here and wanting to learn basically what does what when it comes to setting my car up. One or two games I'd be able to do so with, but most of the time those had clear descriptions as to what changes did what, and it's been years since I did so. So I'm a long-time racing fan, but I never seemed to get that deep into tinkering with setups. ![]() ![]()
