I just picked this up today and really rate it. have done nothing more than run some practice laps until I got below 1:50 using the default setup (lowered fuel to 12laps) in the Ferrari. Then tried a novice race using same setup but lowered fuel for 4 lap race distance and managed a 1.48.03 which just got me pole. It took a couple of dozen races until I figured out how to steer clear of the AI, especially on the 1st turn, plus some red mist mistakes but I didn't want to give up my pole. Eventually won the race with a best lap of 1:47.96, still a bit untidy though. Anyway, anyone come across any setups/replays/times for this track? or anyone tweaked the default a little and had good results? I'm happy to use any car. The record in record.ini is 1:46.71 so I now it's nothing special but if anyone wants the replay I can post to the binaries group. BTW, seen other posts about how good the AI is on the last banking, this is a place I can really catch up on them as I take the low line, flat in 5th, also the AI is a bit tardy out of the sharp left following the first banking.

Ferrari felt a little short on 5th, tried the Lotus and did a 1:48.03 and an untidy 1:47.96 may lengthen 5th on the Ferrari but the Lotus seems nicely suited to this track. MaXX On Thu, 31 Aug 2000 18:18:49 +0100, MaXX <[email hidden]> wrote:
