The NASCAR chicane is there because the cars will not be able to handle the 210+ MPH speeds going into turn one, plus the brakes will not handle it. There will be way too many brake failures and everyone will pile into the first turn and die.

[@TheFoyer13]

Yeah I don't understand why the tach is rotated in that way. Usually you would want the needle pointed straight up for your shifting point, no?

[@legoindianajones9854]

@@TheFoyer13 it’s like that so you can see your speed limit RPM (there is no MPH indicator in these cars) or if a driver wants to have their shift point at an exact 90 degree angle so it’s not in the way of the steering wheel. Although in recent years NASCAR Cup Cars have a digital dashboard now so this is obsolete.

[@legoindianajones9854]

By speed limit RPM I mean to find the RPM to keep your car under the pit road speed limit

[@0Rookie0]

It's so you can see the tach through the steering wheel. The top portion is blocked by the wheel.

But good sir, this is what you do and I am happy as can be for you to get 7th, even after spinning and fighting that car the way you did. I would have probably finished with a 17x and probably made a lot of people angry finishing close to the end of the pack, lmao. You are an inspiration, and I wish you would jump in more of the American cars and race more often. You would be a great addition to this style of racing. You could be one of the best in my opinion. Thanks for keeping the great content going and you rock man. Good job Jimmer!!!!

[@hi_c.v7289]

Stock cars on road courses is some of the best old school racing you can see

[@grahamcrackergaming1540]

Honestly, I feel like out of all the NASCAR stock cars on iRacing, the Gen4/ARCA car has to be the better one cause, well basically cause it’s an old Gen 4 NASCAR, and almost like it’s real life counterpart, it’s got real good handling, really good aerodynamics, and for the most part easy to handle. Like ya look at the real life version, it didn’t matter what track it raced at, .5 mile, 1 mile, 1.5 mile, 2 mile, or 2.5 mile tracks for ovals and especially road courses, it showed great races and it seemed that drivers from different backgrounds could really handle well with it. Cause the real life car had really good handling, had great down force cause of how low the car was, I mean it’s the reason why on road courses in ARCA teams have always gone with the old Gen 4 cars, or what’s known as the “steel body” cars. Cause they handle better than the current cars.

Normally I hate NASCAR, but I enjoyed this. Especially the road course. The racing was 👍🏻

[@DevinNg]

Why do you hate nascar tho?

[@bobftw2618]

@@DevinNg I shouldn’t say hate-I don’t enjoy NASCAR because I don’t like oval racing. I prefer more complex cars and tracks. No doubt oval racing is very difficult, but it’s also a very specific set of skills. Circuit driving requires a more broad set of driving skills that I appreciate more. I also really don’t like the cars. They’re heavy, low tech (compared to some other classes of race car), and they are set up to be good at one thing at the expense of everything else. Oval track NASCARs are so set up to turn left that on the straights the drivers have to fight the car from drifting left. Even the aero on the cars isn’t symmetrical left to right and is maximized for turning left. I guess I just prefer cars/drivers that need to be able to do a little bit of everything. It’s the same reason I think drag cars that can’t do anything but go in a straight line for four seconds are silly.
