One final section that took me ages to get right was the part quite
early on, somewhere between Flugplatz and Schwedenkrauz I think, where
the car gets airborne. I finally learnt that the best way to take this
without veering off on landing was to get the car lined up whilst easing
off slightly and then hitting the accelerator just before cresting the
rise. This seemed to allow the car to land much more stably than any
other method that I tried.
Don't worry about redlining it unless you are on a straight, fast
section. Just concentrate on making sure that you are in the right gear
at the right time. If you are not in the correct gear then you will be
fooled as to how fast the car is really going which could prove
disastrous.

I'm stuck at mid-1:30's in the Ferarri...
1:41 at Monaco, 1:25.79 at Kyalami. Where can I find 6 SECONDS at Monaco?
Dumb question - where IS the redline in the Ferarri (or any others for that
matter)? I *know* the Ferarri isn't mentioned in the manual, but are the
others?

(Grin) Monaco's such a pain. I'm sure that I could get below 1:30
if I just got a clean lap in occasionally. The problem is that to get
to that speed I have to put my foot down so hard I average 2 spins a
lap. The chicane after the tunnel is a nightmare.

The redline is... um... well where the red-line is. Watch your rev
meter - it has a white line (current revs) and a red line (most revs
you've ever done). The red line tends to be at the engine max revs
since eventually you don't quite lifte enough between changing gears
and your engine goes to max revs sending the tell tale to its max
position.

That track (and Zandvoort) have me too scared to apply full throttle except for
on the LONGEST straights...
Ah, I see. I was trying to avoid over-revving the engine in the FIRST place,
and maybe find the 'sweet spot' to shift. But, it's been a while since I've
blown an engine in a race, so the occasional slip doesn't seem to hurt much.
