        Could you send your laptimes done with a joystick as a followup to
this message! I'd like to compare my efforts with yours, and I'd like to
know how fast I can go! (I haven't found a HOF with control method
mentioned!).

So far I have managed the following times using a m'soft sidewinder

Pacific gp - 1.13.822
Imola gp - 1.23.742
Monaco gp - 1.22.050
Barcelona gp - 1.26.593
Montreal gp - 1.24.019

These were all in practise any circuit and not race conditions. I have
had the game 2 weeks now and am still learning.  Good luck

Interlagos: 1.14.980 with Gravis Analog Pro and no steering help;

mid 1:26 at monza with no steering help. I need alot more practice.

Pacific 1.10.8xx
Monaco 1.21.043
Monza 1.23.2xx
Imola 1.23.xxx

This is with a Gravis Analog Pro, with all driving aids off, no steering help,
but opposite lock help enabled.

Personally I run with a wheel, but Achim Trensz over on CompuServe is
the hottest joystick runner I've seen. A 1:19.7 at Imola, and a 1:14.4xx
at Interlagos (yes, really!) are his latest gems. Pretty impressive, and
that's without steering help...

Cheers!
John

These lap times were all set with a CH Flighstick Pro joystick and no
help options at all.

Interlagos 1m17.260
Aida 1m11.807
Imola 1m23.649
Monaco 1m20.001
Montreal 1m23.547
Hockenheim 1m45.070
Monza 1m24.4??
Estoril 1m21.682
Adelaide 1m15.289

As for Achim Trensz`s 1m14.4 at Interlagos, I think I`ll just crawl
into a corner and cry ;-)

In a Minardi, I've managed to get the following times during
qualifying...

        Monza    1.24.8
        Belgium  1.56.7

With a joystick pad, automatic gear change and auto throttle...
that's it.

Hi Drusilla,

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not true in GP2 - a human driver
always gets a car that performs like a Williams, regardless of whether
it is called a Williams, Ferrari or Minardi.

Cheers,
Richard

I personnaly think that the car you drive have always Williams performance
but other cars are more prone to mechanical problems.

I was using a Williams a first and almost never got mechanical failure. I
switched to a Simtek now I get loads of mechanical failure (transmission,
brake problems, oil leak,...).

If the performance are better with a Williams I should get much better
than my actual times in practice:

Monza   : 1:21:221
Montreal: 1:20.215
Monaco  : 1:16.982

I tried back with the Williams, with comparable time...

I use wheel+pedal and no aids or driving help.
