NASCAR The Game: Inside Line - Daytona Setup - 200-202 MPH For Daytona Night or Daytona Day

This is the best setup I have for running 200-202 MPH at Daytona in NASCAR The Game: Inside Line. This setup assumes you have downloaded the patch, and have read my Talladega Setup Tutorial to understand WTF is going on here. It is optimized for the faster Daytona night race conditions, where you have more grip and higher speeds. It will work well for the Daytona 500 day time conditions, where it will be a bit slower but bottom out and spark a bit less.

Daytona is a plate track similar to Talladega. However, Daytona is slightly shorter than Talladega, and it is more narrow. In a game like NTG:IL, you can get away with an ill handling car at a wide track like Talladega so long as you are fast, but when things narrow up at Daytona, handling becomes more essential. With that in mind, I try to preserve the speed advantage provided by having your nose raised on the straights, but press that nose back down to the track in the corners.

Raising the nose may be fast, but if you don't find a way to get it back down in the turns,

you're going to have a hell of a time in those fast-but-narrow Daytona corners.

Also, I err a bit more on the safer side with the back of the car bottoming out, since there's less room to slide up the track when it does. Either way, start from here and see how you like it. As always, I encourage you to experiment to make it fit your own driving style.
