Nascar 09 setup thread

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

First of all we shouldnt be so tight with set up info.......I believe that it isnt the set up...... its the driver. I have given out setups for places like Atlanta, Mich, Chicago, and had the guys I gave the exact same setup I was running, run 1 to 2 sec slower than me still. Mostly due to running into the corners too hard or accel off too fast. Everyone wants to be first...Ill take last place as long as the racing was good!

Sharing means Caring!!! Try it you may like it!

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

Can someone please post some decent Nascar 09 setups for racing veteran with hard opponents. The basic setup is junk and I dont have a clue where to start in the advanced screens. For those who are worried about giving away secrets, if we had the exact same setup then it would come down to the driver, not the setup! Thanks,

My Daytona setup is now in my EA locker for anyone to download. It may not be the greatest, but it isn't half bad. Btw: it was the same setup that I used to get into the 47's with the draft. Low 48's in race trim and almost 48 even in qualifying trim.

More of that deals with the time spent in practice dialing in a track to get the fastest perfomance so it's not always easy for someone just to hand it over.

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

Anyone can take anything in my locker.

I don't have many setups in there yet but there are a few.

Honestly you may find them to be junk.

I feel like everyone has there own driving style and likes the car to feel a little different.

I've found the veteran setups to be a darn good starting point for my style. They are a little loose at some tracks but nothing more than running a few laps and looking at the set up tip sheet in this thread to dial the feel you want in the car.

Just think about the changes made during a real race. They are always subtle changes and they make a big difference.

Things like air pressure. Wedge. etc. depending on the feel a driver is looking for.

Also don't under estimate the impact the line your driving in the corners has on how your car handles. If your snapping loose on the corners try the high line to tighten it up a little. If your pushing going in back the corner up a little. See what it does to your lap times.

Search around the track for where your car wants to run. That's what the pro's do.

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

I need some setups for 09, the super speedway and some of the 1 1/2 mile setups are ok but they can be better. I've been tinkering for days and I'm getting really frustrated on shorter and flat tracks. Please don't about me being online, I'm not in the US right now and my internet is too slow anyway to connect. I just love to play the game and at the highest settings. I am a pretty smooth driver but I suck at finding the best set ups. Any help would be greatly appreciated and until then I'll keep trying. Thank you.

P.S. Great forum with lots of help!

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

whats a competitive setup for daytona and talladega? I tend to wind up in the bottom half at superspeedways but tend to finish in the top half anywhere else

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

I have a few setups for Daytona and Dega..

Neither are a run alone car, So Qualifying is a big drag.. 1 of my Daytona set ups shifts into 4th before the 1st turn on a restart, But It's hellaFast by the start of the next lap, If I communicate with the person behind me I can usually pull him to the front by the end of that lap.

I know for a fact that some people are faster alone then me but they seem to fade to the back come race time.

Right now im searching for a good Indy set up and working on a few martinsville setups.

For some reason my Daytona set up is really really fast at Indy but it won't turn worth a damn LOL

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

hey guys, i came to this thread cuz i just need a good Michigan setup that will run on legend with no assists. what's with all the theory? All that tells me is that none of you really have one. At least one guy has the idea of the thread and just bucked up and posted what he had. Oh well, i guess i will just keep looking. thanks anyway

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

Hi guys,
Does anybody know how to get better fuel economy when racing against the computer controlled cars in one player mode? I can't seem to be able to get near the fuel economy of the other cars, despite changing my set-ups or driving really slow in the corners. Am I missing something or does anyone know any tips I can use please???

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

try drafting other cars, just ride a computer car until u need to pass him, so he would be pulling u around the track instead of u using more gas.

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

does any use the Basic setup sliders? I tired it and basically just makes your car worse and dose not help at all. The advanced tuning you can do is pretty much useless to me.

Re: Nascar 09 setup thread

You should never use the basic setup page. Load the Vet setup and work on it from there. If your looking to become better at Nascar 09, it's best to get involved with drivers that know what their talking about and would be willing to help you out. There are many sites you can visit for setups and most are just ok to say the least, but some can be good bases to work on. It really is best to build your own car based on your driving style. I can answer any questions you would have about setting up a car, but I only come here about once a week. My Xbox gamertag is Mac3. Feel free to hit me up and we'll turn some laps.
