I am running a GP in F1 2000, and no matter what I do, Eddie Irvine
*always* takes me out - either running improper lines or changing speed
abruptly causing me to go off the road, or just plain crashing me out.
What gives? Did they program some "Irv the Swerve" behavior in there?!

I also notice that passing Villeneuve or Mazzacane for position is
totally risky...

Irv I can understand giving you a hard time, but Mazzacane shold follow the
Minardi tradition of pulling *off the track, or spinning off, as it were, as
soon as you are in passing range?

He's obviously been attending the "John Surtees Advanced Driving Course".

Sounds realistic to me!! Be glad Andrea De-Crasherous isn't
driving F1 any more :-)

I know you were trying to be a smart ass. But F1 2000 is closer
than most like to admit.

Sorry - it was just too easy. I was teasing both sides of the argument.
I've only been waiting on the patch level of F1-2000 to get high enough
before I picked it up. Sounds like 1.09 might be good enough for me.
BTW - hope the injury heals quickly. All that time off and no sim-
driving? That sucks :(...

60's - Surtees
70's - Andretti
80's - De Cesaris
90's - Irvine
2000 - Mazzacane
Sound about right? :)

Since Swervin Ervine has the habit of takin you out every race the only way
to compensate is to play as the man himself and take evryone else out which
is much more fun. Unfortunately playing as you don't get to shag as many
birds as he does ;-)
