heheheh

we got this during a multiplayer race and had us totally confused but then i
realised what it was... your pit indicator is on and the 'auto guide into
pits' is on and slowing your car down for pit entry even tho you didnt
go into the pits!!!

press enter a few times to turn off the pit light

I tried pressing enter and it does not fix the lack of acceleration
problem. I don't think it's a problem with my pit indicator because
the pit light in the***pit is not on. From what I can remember I
didn't have this problem until I started using the setups I downloaded
from www.f1racingsim.com. How could the setups be causing this
problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated. TIA!
And that's the bottom line.
Why? Cause 'Stone Cold' said so!!!!

I deleted the no cd patch from my directory but that did not help. How
else would you remove the no cd rom patch? I even re-installed the
game but that did not help either.  TIA.
And that's the bottom line.

How do you remove the no cd patch. I did not see it in the Add/Remove
list so I removed it from my game directory but that did  not help. I
even re-installed the game...that did not help either. Help! TIA.
And that's the bottom line.

installing F1rs, uses a directory written under the windows directory,
for a reinstall, you should also delete this directory, AFTER you
uninstall the F1rs
