What fantastic fun! I set up an F2 player profile ages ago but have only just got 'round to trying it out. Well, I expected it to be a bit boring, or at least to feel 'slow'. Not a bit of it. I tried the Eagle (one of Maxx's setups; see http://jc.simracing.dk/default.htm) at Monza and managed a pb of 1:38.01 which I know is off the pace, but all the same it felt different but good. I can see why online F2 racing would be plenty of fun!

Yes, F2 online attracts a better class of racers, if you ask me. Ahem. "Earlb" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fDEB7.30$[email hidden]...

I run one of the VROC-F2 club race meetings then. Tomorrow we are running a short race at Monza followed by a second at Sopheve. There are usually about 20 racers at this event each week and are an excellent introduction to F2 racing. Cheers Phil Lee Legends Central Admin http://www.legendscentral.com

I tried F2 and F3 a couple of times and I still can't see what's the fun of it.. yes, closer racing, I guess that must be the thrill of lawnmower racing too then. But don't you guys love nailing Masta and the Monaco chicane at allmost full speed? Remind me of those F3 races again when I'm 80 years old please :) Andre

It's closer racing for SOME. I've discovered that I'm much farther off the pace in F2-F3 than in F1. Try running a race at Spa in an F3 when everyone else has checked out. That happened to me in a GPLe Mans race last week. BORRRING... :( Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction...
