Sprint Cup Notes:

Speedways STEERING HELP HIGH, ABS HIGH(for green flag pit stops)
Short Tracks STEERING HELP HIGH, ABS HIGH(for green flag pit stops)
Road Courses ABS LOW, STABILITY HIGH, STEERING HELP HIGH, TRACTION CONTROL HIGH.
If for some reason you can't get your setup to grip coming off the corners on short tracks turn traction control on low, but you will be faster if you can set your car up to grip without using the assist.

Nascar Watkins Glen Setups

setup 1:
(possibly for infineon)
Setup 1:

WATKINS GLEN First of all, remember at this track driver and line matter the most, so make sure that you run a good line, if you don't know the line, turn on the informative best line so that you can learn the line, don't break in the S turns, and don't break in the U-turn after the bus stop. This was with a controller as I can't seem to use my wheel on road courses. Also, I would advise turning your Gameplay settings to this: ABS low STABILITY high STEERING HELP high TRACTION high
You must be able to drive a loose race car to drive this setup, if you can't drive a loose car bring the rear wing up but the setup is fast as hell, and consistent as hell, I've ran as fast as 1:10.0 with 20% tape on and for qualifying i bring all TP's up 1 pound, and tape up to 75% and i've ran it as fast as 1:09.5 in qualifying.

Nascar Infineon (Sonoma) Setups

Setup 1:
Heres mah set! Like I said, if your really good at this track, you can run 1:10-1:12 w/ this. I run high steer help and low traction. This can also be ran w/ only steer help high.

now this setup for me runs a 1.12.000. its mostly a vet setup but way looser and turns better. the only way you can run this time is if you know how to drive this track.

Nascar Richmond Setups

setup 1:
Ok here's my Richmond setup, not the fastest, there's a few running .2 faster than me here, keep in mind this setup is meant for long runs, and long races, so it's extremely loose on new tires, if you run a short race add wedge, and lower the trackbar. The gears are setup where 3rd redlines at the end of the backstretch, and shifting to 4th at the start finish line is a good spot. So you will be downshifting entering 1, but not entering 3. Run with steering help high only.

Setup 5:

Nascar Pocono Setups

setup 1:
Ok, this is my pocono setup I just ran some laps with it, the best I did was 50.8 5 times with the setup, I can't remember what it ran when we did the league race, but here's the setup, it should be able to do 50.4 or 50.5 in race trim if someone drives it right, i think that's the times I was running in the league race, I just can't drive it now, trying to get readjusted to the wheel after this past week running the glen with my controller.
But anyways, here's the skinny on the setup, I run it with low ABS and with high STEERING, 3rd gear redlines at 180, and for a reason, you should be downshifting when you brake for the turns so that you pull harder on the straight aways, I ran well in my league race with this, but blew up because I had my tape at 55% like a retard, run 45% and don't overrev your motor like I did and you should be fine
