Mid 47's in race or qualifying? Mid 47's in race trim isn't awesome. I've run mid 46's in a good draft (i.e. 3-5 cars) in a race. I have yet to crack 47 in qualifying (though I've gotten close on a 40 degree track).
That setup is a race setup, not a qualfiying one.
Pace is right speed comes from (as DW would say) "speerence". Stay smooth entering, through and exiting the turns. Above all, stay up on their bumpers.

Your right. experience is most important. I do get down into the high 46's in drafts mainly low 47's. I understand smooth cornering, staying on the little green line, not moving the steering wheel while running down the backstretch. Only problem I have is those yahoos that like to wreck, or can't wait to pass someone the first half lap after starting. Last night I qualified 4th in a field of 19. One dumba__ apparently pulled off after the start and waited for the leaders to make one lap, then pulled out in front and crashed about 10 of us. I bet he was proud.

drafting is done by learning how to stay within a hair of theirbumper,with
"speerence". then that allows for bump drafting as you learn, of course that pisses alot of ppl when i do that and they have never "speerenced" it before :)
HB you also need to upload our cars so that you'll be able to view them during the races , i have just freed up my eveings so that i can get back online more constitantly

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM...before I go do something stupid..
For some reason I can't get the in-race chat to work. I press T and the faded line comes up at the bottom and I can type something and it dissappears. The others can read it, I just can't read what they are telling me like pass low, etc.
I also press "f" to check the frame rate because I tend to lag due to 56 k connection. It won't come up either.
I went to options and checked and unchecked the box for online chat but nothing comes up. I've gone through all set up functions and can find nothing to get it up. I'm guessing I have an installation problem but before I remove the pgm and reinstall...any suggestions? By the way, it's never worked since I installed.

yes I reinstalled and everything works ok except I still can't get anything up on the screen except the mileper hour gauge on the left side of the steering wheel, the tach, oil, water amps. But, nothing else. Can't chat while racing, only in the lobby or in the game lobby.
I can press T in a race and type, Once I hit enter it dissappears and everyone can read it, I can't read what everyone else is doing or saying. Frustrating as hell.
