| The server will automatically pick the correct chassis type for you, whether that be superspeedway or any other. | |

To be absolutely sure, select the Superspeedway Low Drag chassis configuration. BUMP | |

| The wing itself is always the same, what changes is the default setup -with the AI in mind- and the available stagger options. | |

From what I know, the pitlane opens a few (2 or 3 I think) laps after race start, and there is a message when the pit is being closed for example during a full course yellow (but after a few laps in yellow, the pit lane will be open again), but I don't know or think that this will happen on the server | |

| Can you advise me if is possible in pit menu set the default value for repair to "dont repair". Problem is when i hit a little bit the wall so a little repair can be needed so then i go to pit and forgot to set "dont repair" than i lost a lot of seconds for a minority demage. Better would be the possibility to set manually the repair in case of the serious demage. Thanks. | |

I'm not aware of any way to set "dont repair" as the default value; my advice would be to run the race in full screen mode instead of windowed, that way you can clearly see the repair setting in the pit menu. | |

| I'm going to try something a bit risky for the race. Could work (and may be catch the points) or could greatly backfire (and got nothing...which what I would collect in any case). Well I've nothing to loose with the Chevy. That's the great thing with this car. You could only have good surprise between nothing (the usual) and the points (the good thing) | |

| A few items I would like to mention before tomorrow's race.
- If you are being lapped, the best thing to do is maintain your natural line on the track, and leave it up to the lapping car to find a way around. Abruptly changing your line and/or slowing down to make room is not a good idea on a 200 mph oval.
- Those of you who are new to oval racing, remember that passes can occur on the outside as well as the inside, so take care not to pinch someone against the wall exiting turn 2 or 4.
- Entering the pits at full speed is perilous because you drop off the banking suddenly, so it is advised to blend onto the apron just before the pit entrance.
- Use the "request pit" button a few laps before you pit, so you can see where your crew is on the pit lane. This will help you gauge how soon you will need to come to a stop so you won't overshoot your pit.
- Since the pits will initially be closed when a yellow is declared, drivers will have to pay close attention to the server instructions once the pits open. For example, lead lap cars may be asked to pit first, then lapped cars the next time around. Please adhere to all server instructions to avoid incurring penalties. | |

| The server selects the Kingfish R4 chassis (blue #24) instead of the red R7. Is this correct? No big issue but the blue color is not my favorite | |

Depends on the car. Some like more stagger, others like less. Ask your teamie David | |
