Hi.

I made my first serious runs on Buenos Aires today in F1-RS.

And all I can say is:

What the hell is this go-cart track doing in an F-1 season?

80% of the circuit you're stuck in first gear. There's only one nice bend in
5th.

And those bumbs! Who was it who designed this track in real life?
Ridiculous. I really understand Damon Hill now for saying you loose your
teeth-fillings driving this joke.

Anyway, thumbs up for Ubisoft for making this track as iritating as it is in
real life. I'm sure I left the ground on those bumbs.

Do you mean "bumps" or are there a lot of down-and-outs littering the
track (which would be "bums", anyway)? :-)

Well, there are those light grey BUMPS on the track that really make your
car loose all grip when you drive over them, because your wheels loose their
contact with the ground.

But just the same, the track is absolutely unfit for F-1 racing. I've been
going round this circuit a lot, and spending 80% in gear 1 or 2 on a track
that is NOT a street circuit but a GENUINE track is pathetic.

Still, Ubisoft have conveyed it very well.

I've not yet been around Suzuka and Imola a lot, but the up and down of
Monaco is very nice, Loews is a treat and Spa is a challenge.

Also, is the long straight on Interlagos after the first chicane really that
down and up? I've missed this years race, so I don't know for sure anymore.
