GP2: Am I the first World Champ in Ace mode ?

After buying the game a week ago, I managed to win the World Championship tonight in Ace mode at 10%
race distance. So having seen the "winners" screen, dont hold your breath its pretty boring. I was
hoping Microprose might have put a prize for the first winner in Ace mode like maybe Driving a real
F1 car in France at the F1 school, which incidentally was the prize they offered for the quickest
lap, recorded at the last ECTS in London. Unfortunately I was not allowed a go at the show.But alas
no such luck. :(

I won the championship using the keyboard and cant wait to get a descent wheel/pedal system.

Was I the first ?

all the best, great news group

There is a competition for the fastest lap at Monza (in "practise any
circuit", all help options allowed.) I _think_ the URL is
http://www.holobyte.com/gp2/contest.html.  First prize is a trip to a
racing school.

Yeah, wait till you get a joystick/wheel and then turn steering help
off.  I thought I was good until I turned them off, now I`m not so
sure <g>

I remember on the first game when you won the title it told you to try
higher levels/longer distances until you had won at ace and 100%.
Maybe we`ll get a more exciting screen then, maybe not.

BTW, nice one on the championship!
