they will race the COT At the superspeedways and yes the COT is much more difficult to drive than the old car. i havn't started a setup with the cot so i do not know exactly how it handles and i did the demo and didnt' spin once o.O... also to answer zzyangs ?'s.... i havn't tried that i will next time i play and we'll see lol, the road course races seem to be a little bit harder but yet at the same time more consitant with handling than the older games i don't use the braking assist and it's easy to slow down to turn the turns once you get used to the car and the speeds you can carry through the turns. as everyone has said do the demo and if you liek it there or atleast think that you can get used to the game i'd get it if you truly are big nascar fan such as me lol....
P.S. Also the setups you use at each track really determine how the car handles and so forth...
Starting with the Defulat Set this is what i have sofar and runs great plus 48.300 under second laps.
Grill Tape -80%
Front Left Caster- 3.2
Front Right Caster- 3.2
Front Left Bump- 7
Front Right Bump-7
Front Left Rebound- 3
Left Rear Tire PSI- 36.0
Left Front Tire PSI- 35.5
Left Side Trackbar- 9.625
Right Side Trackbar- 10.625
This Setup is mainly for 40lap races, if you do mainly 20-25 lap races run Grill Tape at 85% Won't make much of a difference i would leave it a 80% but you may be able to run a little bit faster at the expence of overheating you engine in traffic...
I don't use the wheel let alone have the money to buy it and i run just fine if you were any good at vedeo games then you would appreciate the difficulty of the handling of the car... Hint don't jerk the joy stick around in the turns just move it over slightly to set the car the hold it still and slow move it as needed or your tires will loose traction hint thats why they put the traction contral in the game also it is ment for the wheel but frankly 150 bucks for a wheel is not worth it thats half the amount as the system cost WTF!!! franly they need to make maddena challenge liek they made nascar.
I am working on some Track setups for each serious that i will post sooner or later most likley later but if he is intrested in learning how to set up the car i know a great site that will help here is the Addy
Enjoy also i do have really nice setup far daytona sofar after i get done putting my notes on the computer i can send it to you just let me know if your intrested or anyone else!!!
Well I have it and i like for the most part only issues i have with the game is no split-screen and i do miss the Fight to the Top ihave not done the new version( The Chase) got one lic and just didn't feel it was worth doing all that work just to rae a seasonwith out any real challenge to i allthough gettign the old metals are hardto get and they help alot if ou get them still to much work to play a single season just goto season mode IMO!!! otherwise the game seems more realistic to me it's not liek in real life it's easy to pass or wreck the other drivers if you play the game as meant to, plus ilike working on the setups and playing on the hardest difficulty makes it more of a challenge right now i'm still working on the dayton old car setup buti garentee when i'm done tinkering around no one will be able to beat me ever, right now i'm running 47.800 second laps there regularly. I'm sure after all the complaints on 08 that 09 will be far much better and they better put jeff gordon or montoya on the cover. LoL
