In the Hockenheim GP yesterday I raced the track myself beforehand.
With fiddling around I managed to just push 200mph, but was then
disheartened to hear Hill was doing 220+ in Berger's slipstream.
So, what's the fastest anyone has been up to in F1GP2? And how
different are perferomance/setup rules this year from '94?

I wonder how many GP2 owners were practesing Hockenhiem Saturday/Sunday
:)
I got upto 205mp[h & thats with the rear wing at 1
Rob
The only way to run at Hockenheim is front and real wings on 1... :-)))
And the car DAMN low to get some sort of grip in the stadium...
Yves
330 at the German GP... Still a bit slower than most cars, but I think
that's due to my ugly exits from the chicanes :-)

I think that 330 km/h is the max. speed of the damn motors we have in
the 1994 championship... or am I wrong here ?

At Hockenheim, you should be running with a rear wing of 1, and that
will max you out at 205mph at the end of all three straights, with
good chicane exits. Similarly, you'll top out twice at Monza too with
minimal rear wing.
I feel 205mph is terminal velocity for these cars, except, of course,
when slipstreaming.

: I can reach 206 mph during practice and 207mph during qualifying
: at Hockenheim. During one race there I got a great tow down the
: main straight from a two-a*** draft and saw 212 mph. I think
: it would've gone faster, but I was at the rev limiter.
Get them gears fixed. I have the same top speeds, but can easily hit 225
or so in the slipstream. I'll try and get it on replay and send you it.
BTW, I got two replays of some HUGE air at Germany. I'm still trying to
get used to the width of my car!! ;)
Dont try to go the speeed of light. Obviously if you cant get through the
chicanes well, balance your car better so that you can get a top speed of
200 or 190, 195. Be able to get through the chicanes at the suggested
gear. Thats all I know what to do. I've only been to Hockenheim very few
times myself.

Actually the best time seen so far is 1:41.xxx by Georg Naujoks of
CompuServe. This is also with no driving aids
