You sacrifice a bit of speed, but save time on pit road. If you are planning on running a race where you will need to make pit stops, I recommend lowering the right side tire pressures to 60 PSI rather than running 65, so your pit crew won't automatically change right side tires if you don't need to change them or mess up the pressures in a 4 tire stop. The left rear tire is running lower pressure to help with the restarts. I increased the front sway bar on the advice of some racing companions to help keep it more stable in the draft. The rear end has softer springs and drags more, but this allows for higher speeds in the 204-206 range if you can hang on to it. This is a modified setup based on changes between NASCAR The Game: Inside Line and NASCAR '14. I used a navy blue base for the rest of the car - which should make the number icon appear white on navy. The third was just another set to help transition the two by staggering the front rectangles to go along with the tilt of the diagonal stripes and blend in. The first brush was used for the front of the car, and the second for the diagonal sides and top. The colored stripes are made from three distinct custom brushes where I worked out the approximate thickness I wanted for each color then overlapped rectangles. I should also go ahead and create a dark blue duplicate for the headlight number. Not my best effort, but I think it works in this case. The #6 is a custom brush created from a lower case "g" with a few rectangles and curved bits added on to make it look smooth. Lastly, it may need some more work on associate sponsors, such as Pyroil or something else. I'm considering going through the effort to create my own custom one that will fit the color palette of the car a bit better, and have italicized text. In this case, I used the game's default Valvoline logo on the hood, so it's not exactly the same as the one he used back then. I always liked the classic look of the early #6, though some of his later schemes were pretty good as well. I finally got mostly done with my Mark Martin #6 Valvoline Ford from his Roush days.
