GP3 2000 imola best times

Folks, I was curious to see what times people achieve at Imola. I saw that the best time is something like 1:23 by Ralf Schumacher. With GP3 2000 either in practice, race or quicklaps I have not achieved a time better than 1.32.XXX. Even with a couple of slight slides and not perfect driving i have a hard time thinking the difference can be so large. Is everyone getting 1.2X.XXX times ? Thanks Ian -- That we haven't been visited by aliens proves they exist.

I'm not sure whether GP3 2000 is harder, but in the old GP3 I remember doing about a 1:24.8 and I ain't no Michael Schumacher. You don't have a controller problem that is restricting full throttle, do you? -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F1 2001 rank: -0.664

After many many laps, I can get into the 1.28-29's. AI can do it faster but not 1.23's. Book "Ian Marsh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I really find Imola challenging, frustrating, exciting, and utterly absorbing - you learn something new about the track every time you drive it. My best - which is slow compared to the other whizzes on this thread has been 1.28.898 (a time I put !! against it but which was only fifth on the grid - best in a race has been 1.29.972. Set-up I use is from the net and has a very low (make that very very low) ride height and very high wings 20-20). Can't see how anyone could do a 1:21.6 THAT'S Unbelievable. This stinks strongly of someone being seriously talented. How do they do that? That's EIGHT POINT THREE something or another quicker. That's impossible. Yeah That IS impossible. Or that is what I am telling myself. Best I did on the GP3 (as opposed to GP3_2000) was about 1.34ish... Trickiest part of the course: The Firestone Corner - how much do you lift? How much do you brake? What turning degree do you use on the wheel? What do you look at as a signal as you turn? Any and all comments VELCOME Ciao baby Back to IMOLA... Broom Broom Brem

At this site, just about the most reliable hotlap competition around, the record is at 1:22.365, with the first 4 under 1:22.5. Don't know whether it's GP3 or GP3 2000 though... http://hof3.sim-racing.net On Mon, 8 Apr 2002 22:42:38 +0100, "bremner.reeve" <[email hidden]> wrote:
