a GP2 (yes, GP2) question

by Bill Met » Tue, 13 Jul 1999 04:00:00

  Well, right before the big GPL 1.1 patch came out, I decided to re-live
the joys of GP2.  And you know what, I was having a lot of fun.  Well, a
lot of fun except for one very annoying thing.  Just the slightest touch
of and inside curb would send me spinning.  After this happened a few
times, I seemed to recall that the real F1 cars were having this problem a
few years ago and that the setups I downloaded back then were designed to
mimic this behavior.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Or do I just
not remember the finer points of GP2?
  Regardless, can anyone point me to some GP2 setups for download?  I
checked grandprix2.com, but it looks like they have everything except
setups.  Thanks.

Here are some: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2922/
To change it from hotlap to race, just increase the ride height by about 5
mm front and back, and optionally reduce front wing for less oversteer and
more stability.

You can also take any hotlap or saved game and feed it to hof2lap
(http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3987/), it wil print the setup
along with other info.
Also check out www.lfrs.com

On the curb problem: you need oversteer to go fast in GP2. Just don't touch
the inside curb unless it's really low.
