^ You the Red Bull challenge at level 30, you only need a bronze to get the X1. I need something quicker than my McLaren F1 for those Expert Supercars, or whatever it is. What is a car I should wait for? All I have in Used is a Nissan R390(I think it was) road car… the F1 LM must be faster right? ---

None of my cars can keep up in the like the wind race or the race car race in the expert series that what i was gonna use the minolta on. sending the stock car back in a little bit. giving up on that daytona race. only one i cant do. the stock car racing in this game is junk. they do not drive like that and drafting does not have that effect on those cars. lmao. ---

If its the Daytona Road Course, turn the front spring rates and compression down, and make the rear anti-roll bar stiffer, and give it some neg. camber in the front, it’ll help if the car is understeering. ---

No its the nascar series. Regular daytona race 10 laps. Drafting in this game at least with the stock cars is junk. U lose so much time lose 30mph in the corners then the stupid ai draft taps u in a corner or on the exit and fucks up the whole thing. The game could have went without the nascar bs and I am a nascar fan but they wasted time delaying the game to add that half assed junk. ---

You still need that Minolta…??? and yeah fuck that Daytona race…I finished 11th…I havent tried it again since…The problem is the ASM…it kills your speed in the corners…You can see the ASM triangle thingy flashing on the HUD when you are going around the corners…By default the ASM is on and cant be turned off on the quick setup screen before the race…But…you can program the controller to adjust the RA functions in race…like the TCS, ASM, Brake Bias…You have to go to the options menu and change the layout of the controller so you can use the RA functions…Here’s where I found this out…its post number 10… > **[Nascar Series](https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/nascar-series.141266/#post-4301390)** > > I just golded the Nascar Series Championship but couldn't finished the last race; the ten lap Daytona.
