Heckler ? 23 Feb 2002 07:48 UTC#134391
Well seeing as I've only had this game for less than a week, and I've also been playing Civ III and Max Payne this week I thought I see how I am doing in comparison to you lot. I've only really tested myself around Australia in a Ferrari so far, and have so far managed a best lap time of 1:32:367 Is that any good? I'm still learning so I know I could be better. As a side point has anyone set all the driving aids to high and selected trackside camera and just watched an entire race. I did it the other day and my car won the race.

Greger is one of a small group of NON-Earthlings who routinely visit our planet with the sole purpose of destroying all lap records. There is a F1 2001 ranking site that will show you the various lap times of these Aliens and also the slower laps by the 'normal' folk. :) I think www.simbin.com has a link to the site. F1relay also has some limited online racing with F1 2001 so search that out and try your hand against a few others...have fun.. dave henrie
Honestely, since you are a newbie, the lap time doesn't really matter that much. It is more important that you have control of the car, and that you can run lap times like that for a long time. -Stuart Becktell "Heckler ����" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a57he3$5b18q$[email hidden]... > Well seeing as I've only had this game for less than a week, and I've also > been playing Civ III and Max Payne this week I thought I see how I amdoing

When I first got the game, I was doing about 1:32s with the default setups. I guess I'd say I'm an average sim' racer. You may have some potential. Try downloading Ian Bell's setups from www.simbin.com - they're pretty easy to drive for beginners and should improve your lap times a fair bit. I guess if you're wanting to compare yourself with others, head over to www.the-best.racesim.net and join the F1 2001 world ranking. -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F1 2001 rank: +23.742
