HoHo...

No no, that's wrong. You have to set your system date to April 1. This
is statistically the wetest day in Great Britain and because of the
realism of GP2 this is the _only_ day where you can drive a wet race.
But try December 24, it will snow...

Spent last night doing just that.  But all were fine.  Perhaps this track
was so hard the sweat was running into his eyes.

Hi Rudi !
I've tried December 24th and it was great! It gave me a totally new
driving experience ! Covered with snow especially monaco looks
great.The only problem was the high nose of my car, because I couldn't
manage to push the snow away. When I changed to a low-nose car
everything was pefect.
Thanx for your tip, but now I will try December the 5th. I have heard
at this date all helmets cange to a Santa Claus cap (but only at
Hockenheim !).

Hi Klaus,

are you kidding?? I tried five 100%-Races in Monaco on December 5, and
I never get Santa Claus caps! But on October 31 all the heads of the
drivers look like pumpkins (yes, it's true!).

I found out another joke in GP2. Start the game with "GP2/HaKa" and go
to Canada. Your system date has to be in winter (December or January).
Then you go to "car setup" and there, believe it or not, you can
select spikes or snow-chains! I tried spikes but my lap-times were
really slow.

Hi Rudi !

My mistake! Sorry. It was December the 6th (try again five 100% races)
and it works only with the german version!
I've tried October 31th and all helmets look normal. Maybe you are
driving in vga. Try svga (if your PC can manage it :-)) and the
helmets will look normal!

No wonder ! Wait for snow and you laptimes with spikes are much faster
than without!
Btw. with snowchains max speed is limited to 55 miles per hour!
What a f...! It's a racing game not a shopping sim!
What do you think about it?

Klaus :-)

Strange. I tried Canada with date February 15. It said the track was
closed.

NO NO NO, That didnt happen to me! After 10 minutes with quickrace I
went into the pits and i had to hit the fuel button and then a video
pops out on the lap time monitor, but instesd of the times, Geoff
Crammonds
*** appears and he has a tatoo on his right buttcheek that says "I
cant believe you bought it!"
(I think it has a exclamation mark after it, Damn I cant remember!)  -DG

You have to race  one 100%-race with every single team at Hockenheim.
In one of the pits (only when you stop the _second_ time) you will
find a key. Pick the key by pressing the "brake"-button. Then go to
Canada immedeately and you will find the track open, even on Feb. 15!
