F1RS : time in practice ??

by Softf » Tue, 31 Mar 1998 04:00:00

Somehow, i can't seem to see any laptime
in the practice mode... Is this for real
or am I just doing something wrong ? I am
sure that it is impossible...There must be
something that calculates your time in the
practice mode...like in real life !!!!!!!!
Or like in GP2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine the hundreds of test runs that F1
racing drivers do in the off season: They
have a timer !!!!!

Thanks !!!!!!!!!

The only practices I have done are the ones that are part of
a Grand Prix weekend. The lap times are shown there.

Are you referring to training or practice during a race weekend? The
former is pretty much geared specifically towards getting to know the
track, not on improving your speed. Practice during a race weekend does
show lap times for "fast laps." If you want to run hot laps, choose time
attack. This is where you test the car out and see how fast you can go.
You can either run ghost laps, where you can run against ghosts of
yourself or others, or free laps.
