Re: Speeds through La Source in GP3

That's Eau Rouge not La Source. La Source is the hairpin at the top of the hill. Gary Brown <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

That's downforce for you. - Michael

Gary I think you mean Eau Rouge, La Source is the Hairpin before it. I hope you mean Eau Rouge. If you can get through La Source at 180 Ferrari and Mclaren will be knocking at your door ;-) Regards Mike On Tue, 25 Jul 2000 09:05:12 +0100, Gary Brown <[email hidden]> wrote:

And to go from 190 mph one way, to 190 mph the other way (taking 2 seconds to do it) you pull 8.5 G, 'bout time F1 drivers invested in a G-suit Doug MichaelJP <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Although I love this game to bits I am a bit bothered by the speed I can go through La Source at. In the dry I have managed over 190mph at the bottom of the hill which is about 20mph over the odds. This with a two hour old setup too. It's a hell of a ride though. Also, you can take a good twenty yards of grass at the bustop without causing a black flag saving a good few seconds on a qualifier. Never thought I would play a sim and be hoping for wet races though :-))) [email hidden]

Isn't 180 degrees a straight line........ :-/ MichaelJP wrote:

You guys sure you aren't running with too much wing? Maybe you'll get better laptimes with less downforce, which might mean lifting in Eau Rouge. I don't have the game yet, so I don't know- just wondering. As I recall, in GP2 I could only take it flat out with quite a bit of wing. -A "SKurj" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Whoops. I was so excited I even got the name wrong. Managed 193mph tonight but then tried it behind an AI car and the loss of downforce put me in the barrier;-( [email hidden]
