RACING CONDITIONS

A drag race can only take place under good conditions; that is, no rain or snow or similar weather. However, drag races do often occur at night or in the early morning. The Conditions window allows the player to specify the conditions that the race will be held in.

Conditions include atmospheric conditions that are used as a factor in determining car performance. In addition to altitude, environmental settings include humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, and wind force and direction. Variance in these parameters can greatly affect engine and vehicle performance. You can choose from several preset options or you may customize your own. Random will select a set of parameters based on the track and other random factors.

To access the Conditions window, select Race from the Main Menu and then select the Conditions option from the Sub-Menu.

The following options can be modified:

Weather: This drop down contains several preset conditions that  will automatically set the sliders below it.

Humidity: Selects the relative humidity of the air as a percentage.

Barometer: A measure of the air pressure in mm of mercury.

Altitude: The height above sea level (0 ft).

Temperature: The average air temperature (not track temperature).

Wind Speed: The average speed of the wind in miles per hour.

Wind Direction: Indicates the direction of the wind relative to straight  down the track. If the direction is set to N, the wind will  be at the driver's back when looking down the track.
