I always thought I was pretty good at Interlagos on GP1, so it was with
glee that I fired it up for the first time on GP2. Now, I have to bust a
gut to qualify even in the top 10. I am generally 2-3 seconds off the
pace - its nothing to do with not knowing the course (I've been racing
it for 3 years), but understanding how to set the car up properly. I am
still trying to find the right settings that will let me qualify in
under 1:18, or lap at under 1:21.

I agree the game will last along time, if only because I will be needing
literally days of free practise to find the correct set-up.

Oh, and I miss wet-weather racing. Big mistake in leaving that out.

The real problem with F1GP 1 was that you could not even invent a setup that
slowed you down enough to make the AI competitive (not without using an editor,
that is). Unless you did something really stupid like setting maximum downforce
on Hockenheim :-).
That's one of the advantages of GP2: if things DO get too easy (!!!), you can
always get back to default setup to make things REAL difficult.
