BOO!!  This is _very_ unfortunate.  It is good from a 'selfish'
point of view (after all you are competitive in any team's car)
but it doesn't reflect actual circumstances, even with the 1994
opposition spread put into effect.  It would be better if you
raced against cars of similar speed (e.g. Minardis versus Simteks)
rather than the same drivers (Hill, Coulthard, Schu) all the time.
It defeats the whole purpose of being able to choose different
cars from different teams... do I see Microprose taking a shortcut
here?

Oh well.  Maybe they'll come up with a patch to fix this.  I really
think they should...

Regards,
DP.

It's just your luck.

I've driven a Pacific in hundreds of practice and hotlap sessions, and
probably 10-20 full races and I've NEVER had a failure of any kind :(
They're all switched on, but my car would make Frank Williams jealous!

Lap times in GP2, done with joystick

I have been practising on Barcelona a lot and have gotten down to
 the 1:23's with all aids off, what kind of times are other
people getting, I haven't had the game too long so Barcelona is
the only track I have a good setup for.
