all this talk about spins makes me wonder what I am doing wrong. Would
you be willing to send me one of your setups, preferably a good setup
that is slightly on the loose side?
thanx

Taking Eau Rouge flat out in F1RS is a real blast, and the sense of
speed as the elevation changes is fantastic.
Brilliant stuff!!!!

Actually ICR2 is the worst - it had WALLS where none should be, so you
aren't even given the option to put a wheel off the road :-(

Just check the new freeware version of GP2-Monaco without walls!
I guess you would love it ... Wonderfull circuit ...

I don't mind walls where there are supposed to be walls, and the walls
are part of the challenge of Monaco. They are not part of the
challenge at Portland however, but they're stuck around the first
chicane anyway :-(
I downloaded the new Monaco track but will need to re-install GP2
before I can try it! :)
Cheers!

I only bought F1RS two days ago, but I immediately realise that F1RS
seems to be much more realistic than GP2.
I'm only using a joystick, but will be buying a wheel tonight. However,
already I see that there is much more to driving a Formula One car than
Grand Prix 2 would suggest. It seems to be that in GP2 the car is very
hard to "spin" when cornering, unless to put a wheel on the grass.
In F1RS, even on easy, the car will "spin" pretty quickly if you haven't
braked enough.
I don't know which one is more realistic, as I've never driven a F1 car,
but in my opinion, GP2 is too forgiving. F1RS seems to be much closer
to what I think a F1 car would handle like. It also seems to require
much more skill than GP2, which also seems to make me think that it's
more realistic.

Hi Greg,
Well, when I pit I use the BS key, then I press then Pause key, make
my selections, hit the BS key, and finaly hit the Pause key.
Works for me.
You DO need pitstops when you turn the option relative wear on,
even on a 25% race.
Your problem about getting the pitmenu is not quite clear to me.
In what situation you're not able to get the pitmenu?
Cheers!
Remco.

I was talking about accessing this menu while still on the track.
But if hitting PAUSE when you pit is how it is done, then I'll
do it.
Thanks,
