I have some problems with the driving school in F1 2002.. I just did the Hockenheim test, got the gold medal on each section within 5 tries, and on my first try I won the gold medal on the full lap test. At Monza however, I tried the first secion more than 200 times and my best time is still 0.4 seconds slower than the time needed for a gold medal. And the first section only consist of the first chicane.. The same goes for the other sections.. some sections are dead easy, sometimes I'm more than half a second faster than the gold medal time, other sections seem impossible.. Anyone else experiencing the same problems? Andre
I just gave it a go and I was .2 off the gold after about eight tries. Stop trying it for awhile and then when you come back, you'll probably have no trouble getting the gold. :-) Sometimes we get stuck in a rut.

You could also ask why people do thousands of laps in GPL to improve their times. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aeg8rh$6mjfb$[email hidden]... > > "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > I tried the first secion more than 200 times > > You really spent an hour and 40 minutes doing that? > > WHY > > Doug > >

Yeah - but this is the crappy F12002 driving school ( which was refered to as "driving tests just like the real drivers" in F12001 ) - I mean - would the time not be better spent driving something that didnt have 2 or more seats? Maybe it's just me? Doug

Gerry, I spend a lot of time on VROC, I hear first hand how much time people spend on GPL. In my opinion it's a wholly valid comparison. What the F**k is your problem anyway ? You are obviously the sad man, you assume you know everything. You're not big and certainly not clever ! -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> "Gerry Aitken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > > Ian P wrote: > > > > You could also ask why people do thousands of laps in GPL to improve their > > times. > > And you spend all that time peering in peoples windows counting how many > laps they do! > > Sad man. > > Gerry

I got the gold at Hockenheim yesterday after a only couple of tries, thought I was having a good day, tried Monza again after that, 0.5 seconds slower than the gold medal time :-/ Andre

The amount of time people spend on their hobby is their business, not yours.
You could say the same to Doug then. But you didn't. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> "Gerry Aitken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > > Ian P wrote: > > > > Gerry, I spend a lot of time on VROC, I hear first hand how much time people > > spend on GPL.
