After the Schumacher-Barrichello incident at the and of the final lap in Austria, I am going to leave my (sim-) Ferraris (well, a real one I couldn't have..., neither will any more..) In GPL I used to drive Ferrari, also so in F1 2001, and the ALMS mod. Any suggestions for replacements? In the GPL Lotus is too obvious, Honda is too heavy, BRM and Cooper are so weak. Eagle or Brabham perhaps? In F1 2001 perhaps Williams? In ALMS BMW would be nice, but the wheel covers part of the dash... Porshe sounds Volkswagen (="Beetle"?), .. It will take some time Ferrari to recover in my eyes. But probably they are not very interested in that, anyhow... ;-) Arto --
The eagle with the yellow skin is a pretty obvious chice isn't it? ;-) As for the Alms, I'd actually want to grab a supra from another mod, and rice it + use the maranello physics. (too much FnF here, LOL) F1-2001: For myself I will go for the Arrows, since the Jordan is so uglified since last year. I like the looks of the Jag, but I cannot make it drive... /Carl "Arto Wikla" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wikla.1021314707@kanasaari...

Jaguar seems to be having the same problem ;) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> "Carl Ribbegaardh" <[email hidden]> wrote I like the looks of the Jag, but I cannot make it drive... > > /Carl
Just my opinion, but to me the Williams, McLaren, and Ferrari are the Eagle, Lotus and, er.. Ferrari of F1 2001, if you get my drift... Okay not just my opinion. I picked around in the physics files for F1 2001 and looked at things like power to weight ratio, lift and drag and so forth. The above three are clearly gifted with better performance than the others. The Jordan is in the middle of the pack, the Arrows towards the rear, and the Benetton and Minardi are the back markers. OTOH performance isn't everything when we are talking about a game, sometimes it is fun just to drive your favorite car.
