Don't look to ME for a comparison. I suck, remember? :-)
I think I had a 1:46 pb, but it's not consistent. Consistent times are
probably 1:48-1:49.

My best is better than yours, by a couple of seconds, but
my consistent laps are a little slower. I'm happy when I
can get under 1:50. That's 15 seconds off the pace!

I can't study a track as such, I just drive it until I get "into a rythym"
Sometimes I can just jump in the sim and get close to my best times quite
quickly, other days I look like I couldn't drive sheep <G>
I really wouldn't know what speeds I'm doing at any point on the track
except the start finish straight where I reach 192 ish MPH. If I look at the
speedo anywhere else I crash, without fail ;)
I run a P4 2.4 with GF4600. I'm usually getting about 50 to 80 fps. I think
I'm running most settings on high with a few on medium, none are set to
full.
I wouldn't really call myself fast but if there's any way I can help others
enjoy a sim, regardless of their current ability, I'm only too happy.
I tried a race on F1RST the other night and there were several drivers
running in the low 1:33's, on a no aids server. I only just managed to
squeeze into the high 1:34's.

just managed a 1m39.1xx in the McLaren, using Ian's setup. I watched
the replay he uploaded and it strikes me how he doesn't even use all
the available track in the "classical" sense one would in GPL. Maybe
that's the secret? He manages to juust lock up the inner front wheel
under braking for nearly all of the turns, nice job Ian! Right on the
limit there, it seems. I had to move brake bias forward a bit so as I
spun way too often under braking, even while braking in a straight
line.
Also, out of new won enthusiasm because of my new PB I tried F1RST2
again... another 4MB "client update" later, I find I had almost
forgotten how sucky this sim is online. Unplugged icons in spite of an
excellent DSL connection to the host, nearly all players on the server
"uncollidable", the return of the one second pauses when somebody
connects (yeah, I know about closed quali and so on), still useless,
and a shame for such a nice physics engine to be hampered by the worst
bit of online code simracing has come up with since GP3. 8-(
Bye for now,
Uwe

I too would think that better frame rates would help you along and
would improve reaction times to your steering input.
I run F1C on a 2400 XP+ on a geforce 4800, and get 60-70 fps with
track detail set to "full" in practise mode.
cheers,

Have you raced on Eldred's server? I didn't notice any lag issues for the
Melbourne race we had recently.

>>Thanks Ian:

I decided to take a little time for practice at Malaysia.
So I ran your replay for inspiration. And to be amazed
one more time.
Something didn't look right. Parts of the lap looked
impossible.
I timed the lap.
My system plays your 1:34 second lap in 54 seconds! : )

Ok. That's better.
Still, a very impressive replay.
Thanks
