GP2 Brazil settings questions...

Hi all,

When I race on the circuit of Brazil, I can't do more than
3 laps with all of engine power. After that time, the rpm
decreases more and more.

If I continue for some other laps, in auto-gear selected,
the 6th gear can't be reached (the rpm is very low).

What is my problem???

Thanks.

You have probably worn the plank too much. Raise the car or use packers
to keep the car from rubbing against the ground.

I suspect that your plank has worn out! Does the little car icon on the
bottom right of the dash flash yellow for the first few laps & then go
red? If so you need to increase the ride height.

This is becoming one for the FAQs (is anyone writing one?) - a lot of the
GP2 setups that you can get from the Internet are hotlapping ones which
have ultra low ride heights and are only designed to last for one or two
laps.

Cheers,
Richard

Maybe your car is set too low? On the bottom right part of the***pit
there's a top view of your car, does the central shaft flash yellow?
Actually for this to happen it should flash red...
There's a plank at the bottom of your car placed by the FIA so that
you don't set your car too low and don't run too fast. If you scratch
more than 1mm of it you're disqualified. In the game you are not, but
you are penalized by a loss of power. Check the ride heights in the
Advanced setup and on the performance graphs (shouldn't go down to
zero). Check 'Plank Wear' in 'Car Setup'/'Advanced'/Inspect'.

Hope this helps.

PS: I guess gradual parts wear would be great if  implemented,  like
for instance the front left suspension getting looser after hitting
something. What we have now it's either good or broken :(

Sincerely, Karim
