F1 2002 - Loss of Brakes?

In F1 2002, I find that, after 3 or 4 laps, I always lose my brakes. Specifically, at Hockenheim (the old downloadable circuit) when driving the Williams (haven't really tried any other car) during a race against the AI, my brakes simply fail after a few laps. When I quit the race at that point, the race summary gives me a DNF due to Brakes. This happens every single time, so it's not a random event. My controller is an LWFF with TSW peds. Hardware-wise everything is fine. In fact, if I start a new race immediately, my brakes are fine again. So apparently, it's caused by something in the sim. Is there something in the car set-up or the overall settings that I need to adjust? Perhaps some kind of setting that's wearing out the brakes? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any help would be appreciated.

Where can you download the old track? Thanks "BRH @attbi.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Increase the brake duct? (It's in the car setup menus)

Change the type of mechanical failures. Time Scaled results in the same failure at the same time no matter how many times you restart a race.

I'll try both of those suggestions and see if it helps at all. Thanks! Dan Belcher wrote:

Yeah, I think the Brake Duct size is definately your problem though, like mentioned above, Increase their size in the car setup menu to get some more cool air flowing over them, and they should be ok.
