1320 Challenge FAQ
Is the game free?
Yes, the game is free and is brought to you by Nitto Tire corporation.
How do I stage?
Staging is when you line up your vehicle to start the race.
Usually FWD cars roll out faster than RWD
cars and can benefit from shallow staging. This is where you just barely light the staged light on the Christmas tree (the
starting lights). This allows you to get a few inches jump on the start, which can have a pretty large affect on your time.
The opposite of shallow staging is deep staging.
What is a FOUL?
A
foul is when you launch too early - if your reaction time is less than .500 - you are automatically fouled. The game features
a "sportsman tree" for the starting lights.
Reaction
time is factored into both bracket and heads up racing - so be sure to practice your timing. You don't have to wait for the
green light. Remember, it takes your car some time to get going off the line so even if you take off a little early, you may
not FOUL the race. Deep or shallow staging will also have an affect on your reaction times.
How
do I launch?
The more power you have, the more
difficult it can be to launch the car properly. If you have too much power, you can easily overpower the wheels and waste
your power spinning the wheels rather than moving forward.
To launch, engage the gas and hit the UP ARROW to engage
first gear.
How do I improve
my launch?
Get good drag racing specific tires. The Nitto 555R is a streetable tire
designed specifically for drag racing. It features a soft tread rubber compound that is still decently long wearing, so you
can mount your drag tires up at home and drive to the strip without wearing them completely out. Most sizes of the 555R feature
a special carcass construction that allow the use of lower than normal tire pressures at the strip for extra grip while still
allowing safe handling at normal pressures for street driving.
I finish first but it says
I lost!?
After you've selected a computer opponent, you'll be asked to enter a dial-in (if
you haven't already). If you select 15.8 as your dial-in, and run a 15.7, you will automatically lose the race. This is called
a break out. Your goal is to run as close to your dial-in as possible without running faster than your selected dial-in. If
both you and your opponent break out, the driver who breaks out the least will win.
What's bracket racing?
Bracket racing is drag racing with time handicaps.
This means that the slower car is given a head start. The amount of head start time is determined by the dial-in times. A
dial-in is a time that you think your car will run in the quarter mile. The difference between the two racer\'s dial-ins determines
the amount of head start the car with the slower dial-in will receive.
If both racers run their dial-in times, and
have the exact same reaction times (the time it takes you to launch the car without launching too early or "red-lighting"),
the race will be a tie. Thus, the race is perfectly fair, even if one car is several seconds faster than the other.
Of
course, in racing, there is always a winner and a loser. In both bracket and non-handicap racing, the winner is the racer
who crosses the finish line first. This is a function of:
Your reaction time + your quarter mile time.
In bracket
racing, the catch is that you can\'t run faster than your dial-in time. Even if you smoke your opponent and run a perfect
(.500) reaction time, you still lose if you run faster than the time you dialed-in.
Let's go through some scenarios:
|
Racer 1 |
Racer 2 |
|
| Dial in: |
14.65 |
16.5 |
(Racer 2 gets a 1.85 head start) |
| Reaction Time: |
.512 |
.612 |
|
| Quarter Mile Time: |
14.86 |
16.58 |
|
Racer 1\'s run: .512 + 14.86 = 15.372 seconds to get to the
finish line.
Racer 2\'s run: .612 + 16.58 = 17.192 - 1.85 head start = 15.342 seconds to get to the finish line.
Winner:
Racer 2

| Reaction Time: |

|
| Quarter Mile Time: |
14.86 |

|
Racer 1\'s run: .512 + 14.86 = 15.372 seconds to get to the
finish line.
Racer 2\'s run: .612 + 16.58 = 17.192 - 1.85 head start = 15.342 seconds to get to the finish line.
Winner:
Racer 1 since Racer 2 red-lighted (anything below a .500 reaction time is considered an early launch).

| Reaction Time: |

|
| Quarter Mile Time: |

16.40 |
|
Racer 1's run: .512 + 14.86 = 15.372 seconds to get to the
finish line.
Racer 2's run: .612 + 16.40 = 17.012 - 1.85 head start = 15.162 seconds to get to the finish line.
Winner:
Racer 1 since Racer 2 broke out and ran faster than his or her dial-in.
Dial-in tips:
The trick is to have a
dial-in that you can consistently run close to without breaking out. Remember, you don\'t have to dial-in your fastest time,
just a time that you can run consistently. Some racers will intentionally brake or let off the throttle if they are ahead
in the race. The idea is to get to the finish line first without red lighting and without exceeding your dial-in and breaking
out. |
What's a dial-in?
The elapsed time selected by the driver that is usually the car's most consistent qualifying time. After you've
selected a computer opponent, you'll be asked to enter a dial-in (if you haven't already). If you select 15.8 as your dial-in,
and run a 15.7, you will automatically lose the race. This is called a break out. Your goal is to run as close to your dial-in
as possible without running faster than your selected dial-in. If both you and your opponent break out, the driver who breaks
out the least will win.
How
do I use NOS?
The Nitto 1320 Challenge features Holley NOS Nitrous Oxide Systems.
To use NOS, press the RIGHT ARROW at any time during the race.
How can I make the game run faster?
There is a "graphics settings" button
in the race screen just below the left lane timer. You can shut off the various graphics and sound effects to improve the
responsiveness of the game. If you're computer was made sometime in the previous century, then we recommend buying a new one:
www.dell.com, www.compaq.com, www.apple.com.
Why do people keep asking for my password?
Unfortunately, there are people in the game who have made it their mission to scam others out of their accounts.
Never give out your password to anyone - they can hijack your account.
How do I form a team?
Under the team
feature, you can apply for an existing team or create your own. Within teams, the person that created the team is the team
leader and he or she alone controls the money in the team bank account. Team members can contribute to the team bank account
but cannot take money out of the account.
Teams can use their bank accounts to setup challenges
with other Nitto 1320 teams.
When are you going
to add more cars?
We will be adding parts,
cars, and features constantly - some updates will not require a new download and some updates.
