NASCAR Heat 2

[Michael Watts]

Well you can always do like I did and get you a backup wheel for just such occasions. You can get a Thrustmaster Spider at most GameStop's for less than $100. There's no FFB just a bungi cord for resistance and no electronics to fail. I had to use one for about a month while mine was being replaced/repaired

 

[Michael Watts]

Found the issue with my wheel at Martinsville. After watching my twitch feed, contact between me and the 78 around the 1:10 min mark. I wasn't able to even get over 120 mph on the straight-away. I think the FFB jolt to the wheel caused my wheel not to function properly. Then resetting the wheel I lost connection to the game.

I've got a feeling that I'm gonna be a back marker this race. The car is very stable, but not that fast, I'm getting around 29.0xx to 29.1xx consistently. Just feels very slow, even with running up against the wall.

What is everyone running?

 

[Michael Watts]

I'm in that same range consistently

 

[Colin Pappas]

Who ended up winning it?

 

[Rob]

Not the best Twitch feed, but had fun regardless. Pretty close racing, even with a few.

I wish I was there for the rest of the race...

I hate that you and the 78 disconnected I hated seeing that happen since your car was pretty fast. The 32 showed us you don't have to be the fastest to win you have to have the strategy to go along with it

Hate it, but 50/50 again due to travel. I think I have a decent setup.

16.8 but low 17's are more consistent . Great handling but just need a touch more speed..

 

[Rob]

I need a touch more cow catcher. I have to divide the traffic and all at Bristol.

Thanks for the share @Rob . My sincerest apologizes for the late race run in (1:56-57 video). You were running your line,and I didn't give you enough room and got frustrated losing ground to the leader.
Everyone's Tempers flared a bit as this was Short Track Racing, as there is not a lot of room to pass and everyone was beating and banging.
Thanks for all who showed up and had the patience to continue.
