> "Don't know what all the fuss is about with Richmond..."

I agree... I did the Richmond 17 lapper (Tier 20.1) last night and had no trouble on my first try. I find the bots somwhat predictable at Richmond, in that they basically slide to the inside of the track on turns, and slide wide to the outside as they exit the turns. So I basically did the opposite -- on turns, when they were inside, I accelerated and passed as many cars as I could on the outside. Then, when they exited the turn and headed towards the outer track, I slid inside and passed a few more.

Granted, Richmond is a small oval and you have to be nimble moving in and out like that because the bots can certainly derail you. I haven't gotten to the Richmond 20 lapper yet (Tier 22.1) but hopefully I will have similar success.

One other point: I normally race with all assists off -- BUT, if I'm struggling with a NASCAR event, I find that turning Steering Assist on High (or Low) helps...seems to minimize the instability when you're being whacked by the bots in dense traffic. Good Luck!
