I found that you have to go to above 60% distance to bring pitstops in to play. -- Sean Black

Just won my first championship race. Driving a Mclaren as DC, I only won by accidentially nudging Schumaker and Hakkinen off the track while following too closely into a corner and braking late. While it was obviously within the rules, as I didn't get disqualified or anything, I do not feel comfortable with my win. Schumaker might have been fair game, but I'm sure Ron Dennis would like a word with me about Hakkinen. Should I mentally forfeit my points? Should I let these guys pass in the next race? Should I exploit the tactics? In real life I reckon people lose their front wing in this situation. Other question: Is it possible to enjoy the exitement of pitstops without doing the full race distance? What would be a good compromise? Steve

As a good will jesture, at the next race id let them both pass you at the start :) Then you can say you acted sportsmanlike and it was a genuine mistake Paul On Tue, 8 Aug 2000 08:22:00 +0100, "Steve Carr" <[email hidden]> wrote:

What would be a good compromise? How about racing in an 'easy' mode and a 20 lap race, where you are a bit faster than everybody else (who wont be stopping), but promise yourself beforehand that you'll be stopping at the end of lap 10. You'll be doing qualifying laps the whole way to make up the distance.
