For those that just bought it, what's the manual like for F1 2000? Does it do a good job of explaining car setups? Does it have good track notes, etc.? Actually, while I'm at it, might as well ask a couple more quick questions (I haven't found the answers to these yet)... - Can you save a race in progress? - Does it have any telemetry tools? - How "reliable" is the Internet multiplayer? Thanks!

Bought the game this morning. The manual is ok but is what I expect to get with a more arcadey type game as opposed to the more substantial manuals with sims. The track notes are very basic, no detailed description of corners or anything like that just 'The track consists of a mixture of long straights puntuated with a selection of medium to fast corners and chicanes' (Monza) type entries with a very small track map. There are 9 pages devoted to setups, 5 of those are almost the same as the tables we had in GP2 (although not as detailed), eg: WINGS Action Effect on Balance Other Effects Increase Front Increased oversteer in corners Increased grip in corners There is also a couple of pages on racing lines through corners, again very much like the GP2 manual but again not as detailed. Haven't found any option to save a race in progress. No telemetry tools. Haven't tried multiplayer.
