I was teasing both sides of the argument. I've only been waiting on the patch level of F1-2000 to get high enough before I picked it up. Sounds like 1.09 might be good enough for me. BTW - hope the injury heals quickly. All that time off and no sim- driving? That sucks :(... Kendt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

60's - Surtees 70's - Andretti 80's - De Cesaris 90's - Irvine 2000 - Mazzacane Sound about right? :) Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +70.45 Never argue with an idiot.

I am running a GP in F1 2000, and no matter what I do, Eddie Irvine *always* takes me out - either running improper lines or changing speed abruptly causing me to go off the road, or just plain crashing me out. What gives? Did they program some "Irv the Swerve" behavior in there?! I also notice that passing Villeneuve or Mazzacane for position is totally risky... -- s i m a g e r y @ h o t m a i l . c o m

Irv I can understand giving you a hard time, but Mazzacane shold follow the Minardi tradition of pulling *off the track, or spinning off, as it were, as soon as you are in passing range? ?? Matt :)

Since Swervin Ervine has the habit of takin you out every race the only way to compensate is to play as the man himself and take evryone else out which is much more fun. Unfortunately playing as you don't get to shag as many birds as he does ;-) Some Call Me Tim
