After witnesing Hakkinen's start at Hokenheim a few times I came to the
realisation that I use the same tactics when I race Hokenheim in WC/F1gp.

I try to get down the inside of the slower cars at the start....

I try to beat them to the corner.....

I try to cut them off and get in front of them.......

I wipe out half the field.....

WoW!

WC/F1gp seems even more real now......

Later
Richard.

: I really agree with that what Richard said !
: In fact, with my experience of F1GP I knew the first corner
: can be really hard to drivers like Hakkinen who try to win the
: race in the first corner... but so what... if we go some years
: back we can remember it was the great Senna who used to start
: the races so aggressive...
: By the way... was the second chicane a little bit slower in
: the real track than in the game ??? I mean the 2nd not the 3rd..
:
Hockenheim only has 2 real chicanes.  The North chicane and the Senna
Chacane on the south side.  The kink running into Ostcurve is a low 2nd gear
bend in real life but may be taken in mid to high 3rd in the simulation.
Certainly the real difference is the first corner.  A 4th gear heart stopper
in real life becomes a flat 6th gear corner in the sim if you run just a
bit of rear wing.
