NASCAR The Game: Inside Line Talladega Setup Pre-Patch

Here's the short and sweet version of that I've been telling you in the tutorial for setting up your car to get to 199 MPH - 200 MPH at Talladega in NTG:IL. This is the pre-patch version. If you have not yet received the PS3 update for the game through the Internet, this is optimized for you. It should help you get to 199 MPH or so by yourself in practice on the straights, and give you a consistent lap time in the low 48 second range. For qualifying, it can give lap times in the high 47 second range, hitting 200 MPH at Talladega. It bottoms out a few times. If that bugs you, stiffen the rear springs 10-50 lbs in the rear, particularly on the right rear. If you want to use it for Daytona, stiffening the springs 40-100 LBS in the rear will help.

Even if you have patched, I've found this setup handles really well in the draft at Talladega. I once got a lag-push bump draft all the way up to 219 MPH down the back stretch and the setup was stable enough to save it.

Note: I developed this setup for the PS3 with a controller. If you have a wheel, it may need tweaks (particularly with lowering the steering lock.)

Important:

Start with the Michigan qualifying setup. In the infield garage, go to tuning, load the preset Michigan qualifying setup, edit it it how I have it below, and save it for Talladega.
