On the kerb, we lost often the control of the car. This isn't realistic. Is
there a patch to correct that?

In real life, often real drivers, control of car lost, when on kerbs
driving!!! (Realistic, it is, very?)

Patch, no, to correct, available not?

In germany pilots don't avoid the kerbs.
In GP2 the kerbs aren't higher  than the real ones.
Others setups are useless.

Tune the setup and you can eliminate this. Use a lot of damping on the front
end compared to the rear and kerbs are no problem at all.

Read the reports about the Monza test, They (the drivers) were complaining
about the height of the kerbs, as so my were pitched into the air,
If you look at say interlagos and Monza, in life and sim, you will see
monzas are narrow and high and interlagos's are wode and low, this is the
same in life and sim so get used to it.

If you will sarcrifice realism, d/l the track editor and lower the krbs
simple as that, but nobody will believe you did a great hotlap using all the
kerbs at Monza  will they?

|please correct me for I have only had GP2 for about a month. After racing at
Hockenheim on the computer, then seeing it on TV, I have questions about the
chicanes(forest)(add Hungary also). It appears the chicanes in the sim are
closer
to 90 % angles than the ones on the track. Is this just my imagination?

I'd argue that it is realistic to lose control if you run the car over
too much of the curb.  Happens all the time in the real F1 races.

Not sure T.V. can make tracks look different, seen as I make tracks.
Take Magny Cours, The 2nd hair pin...... just after it on T.V. it looks like
a big chicane but in reallity its just too long bends taken flat out, t.v.
can be funny looking depending on the angle, but then again even a little
adjustment can make a big difference in a corner.

From the***pit corners seem to be 'sharper' than they are. This effect is
created by the high speed of the car.
Do you still see the difference when using the track side view (left cursor
key, best done in a replay)?

I haven't tried that, but I will give it a look. Thanks
