in regards to making pit stops in gp2 is there anything special? like is
there the possibility of something sparking and igniting the fuel? or if
the pit crew has a problem with one of the wheels so your stay is
proonged?

I'm sorry to say that what with all the jumping around from track
to track and trying this and that I've NOT tried to pit under
racing conditions yet.
I would report that there is a selectable "trouble" option where
you can specify, engine, transmission, oil leak, water leak,
electronic, ignition...etc problems to be possible. A NICE feature.
Personally at this point those things are OFF. I have quite enough
"trouble" with the CC drivers at this point, thank you very much...

I watched David Coulthard retire with a loose wheel. The left rear
was actually wobbling from side to side!

Yes ! I was in a Williams at Portugal and the pit crew had a problem
with the right rear tyre. Luckily, they got it on properly after taking
an awful long time. Who knows, I might have lost the world championship
if they sent me out too early and the wheel fell off !

And I watched a car in front of me where the engine suddenly burst
into flames! He then pulled off the track with flames all over the
rear of the car... (I think it was Pedro Diniz who had a similar
moment in his Honda some months ago?)

Good work, Mr. Crammond!

Would you imagine I had this happen in front of me in the very first
race I had with F1GP2! Man, talk about grabbing your attention :)

I was racing in Brazil (the main straight is awesome) and there was
what I believe was a Jordan in in front of me crossing the start line
when I was just turning coming on to the straight. All of a sudden, huge
clouds of smoke and I taught the car had locked breaks (heavy breaking
of course at the end of that straight), but then the smoke didn't go away
and I started catching the Jordan very quickly. Something was wrong...
Amazing sight to see the back of that car in flames. ***y difficult
driving behind the car though with all that smoke coming out of it!

Excellent work, Sir Geoff! :)
