I remember when I first started DTR2. I HATED Big draft tracks like Rodeo, Parkside,Pukeview cause,I didn't know how to draft, or have good setups. I LOVED the small ones, like Bloom, Eagle, 41st, cause those were, "driver" tracks, you didn't need a "great" setup! Now that I have gotten faster (that.20) I realized, the "Big" tracks, seperated the MEN from the BOYZ!!!
To be REAL: Small flat/banked tracks can be great runnin tracks which bring out the best racing. The slow guys can keep up and it's in the drivers hands. So even if you have a fast car, it don't mean crap on a small track!!! Big "Draft" tracks are just as, if not more, racier than any of the small "non-draft" tracks. Here is why:
Small tracks: With these tracks, even the slowest guy has a chance to win, so it's not all in the setup.(I loved Bloom when I first started DTR2, because I could "keep up" with the faster guys, and they had to "work" to get a pass, or just move ya. Even with them multi grooved small tracks, the racing is awesome.
Big "draft" Tracks: With these tracks, it's all in the setup, and in the drivers ability to understand the shift points, how to stay behind, and how to push. Sure you can keep it WFO, BUT you take the possibility of getting loose, getting wrecked, or hitting the walls. Most of these BIG tracks, I have noticed, you need to burp the throttle a lil to git a lil faster!!!
So, while you may think that the big tracks are "easy", they are 100% NOT!!! You need to know how to set your car up for bump drafting, you need to know HOW to bump draft (without killing the person your pushing), you need to know when to turn, when to let up, when to downshift, when to upshift, when you can make a pass! On these small tracks, all you really need is a decent setup, an ability to hold your line,. and throttle control.
