It sounds like the speed we ran in the carb cup race when i did a Charlotte race, which if so was afwul loose and a big wreck fest, im not ready for a race like that sadly as the 40 lap dashes do me in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEatCake Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Seriously off topic but is that a rear veiw mirror in a NASCAR car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 No, its a video camera lol. Yes it is an mirror, they use rear view mirrors in stock cars, but they are basically useless to see out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Seriously off topic but is that a rear veiw mirror in a NASCAR car? Took a screenshot while testing, just to show ya the lack of vision in the rear mirror. I made the photo a little on the brighter side so you could see the inside of the car better, the full headrest blocks part of the view while the rollcage blocks a little, and the black bar going across is the spoiler so when you have a car pushing you(talladega/daytona) you can only really see the roof top, just like real life we rely heavily on a spotter provided ingame, or a real life spotter that we have on a teamspeak.

Eric Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Lol, I turn it off to save fps, plus it blocks the view of the water temp guage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRobson Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Lol, I turn it off to save fps, plus it blocks the view of the water temp guage Yeah that is what I do as well. It saves a good 15+ fps for me. Still haven't had any time to hop back on as of late. Heard they changed the tire models again though.. I did pretty good with the last one so its going to suck to comeback and have to relearn the game. But thats part of the challenge and fun eh!

Stephen Hopkins Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yep. Is there a way to race without a wheel? a xbox like controller, no keyboards though, a wheel is the easiest way though, probably the best as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
