Below are my personal
best laps from all of the native ICR2
circuits as well as Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the N2-converted Gateway International
Raceway, and several N1-converted tracks. My qualifying
setups for the native tracks and IMS are available in a single
file which you can download.
I've received very positive feedback on them, and I think they
provide a very satisfying combination of speed and "controlled
oversteer" which you also may find to your liking. Note
that these can be fairly easily adapted to race setups with a
few changes (tire compounds, fuel load, initial sway bar settings,
and so forth). Also note, my best laps for Indianapolis and Long
Beach were turned with different setups from those provided in
this download.
I never did get around
to working on my own setups for most of the converted circuits,
so those times are probably less than optimal. Additionally,
many of the laps below were turned some years ago using a joystick,
which tends to result in inferior times when compared to a wheel/pedal
combo (the use of which is indicated below in blue).
Moreover, they were all turned with a Lola/Cosworth/Firestone
combo, the package I used in this sim from the beginning, and
other packages are (reportedly) preferable in some cases. I rarely
sat down to concentrate on hotlapping; I have never adjusted
weather conditions or turned off damage with the sole purpose
of turning record times. Most of these simply came from testing
and qualifying sessions. Remember - fast is nice, but consistent
is everything! Qualification on the front row doesn't guarantee
you'll finish the race.
