GP3 fans,
As a newby GP3 fanatic, I wonder how I rate compared with others, as neither
my partner nor cat ever want to play computer games. My guess is that I need
to keep practicing and don't give up the day job.
In rookie mode, with all aids off, I usually qualify on the first or second
row at most tracks. I can then usually hold position during most of a 20%
race, but usually blow it due to lack of concentration, spin off and lose a
couple of places.
For now I only spend about 15 minutes before each race practicing and
setting the car up, only bothering to set it up for whatever the weather
happens to be, wet or dry. I only adjust wing and gears (I'm impatient!). On
some tracks I have qualified in pole 2 to 3 secs ahead of the pace.
How many seconds faster are the more difficult modes? At the highest level,
are the lap times similar to the real 1998 times?
Oh yes, I use a joystick because I'm to old to have a wheel, and I even
liked the Official F1 sim by Eidos for a while even with the strange
handling, it lets you be spectator and driver at the same time with pop up
live action, ITV style timing information etc. Not very real life I know,
but then neither are computers.

I have not touched GPL since GP3 came out.... well I installed Solitude and
did a few laps.... then quickly back to GP3.

join me and we will rule the galaxy together
I'll never join you...
BTW to steve: you're never to old to own a wheel. Just pick up a high
end TSW if you want to be l337.

If you have F1 2K(or just another game), try it there. For me, it made the
transition a lot easier...
