GPW - Rear Wing Problem

I have been playing this game for a week now, I have started 4 different seasons with 4 different teams, ranging from Williams to Sauber and every race about quarter of the way in both cars develop rear wing problems. This usual ends up with both cars either retiring or having so many pit repairs to render them totally uncompetitve. Surely, not every team would have exactly the same problem. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Is it a bug? If not any ideas how to avoid the problem? During the race it says it is caused by engine vibration, but when I do testing all I have been able to upgrade is front or rear wings, which take about four or five races to design and build. -- Sean Black

I had this at first with Ferrari.. but managed to stop it by decreasing Kerb use to 2 squares If you want your cars to finish the race intact, try Acceleration OOOOO (adjust according to tyre wear) Braking OOOOO (as above) Top Speed OOOOOOOO (adjust according to engine wear) Kerb use OO (or 3 squares maybe) Off racing line OOOO (tyres again) Line defence OOOOO O/T position OOOOO O/T backmarkers OOOO I got a Ferrari 1-3 at Australia and a 1-2 at Brazil :O) Sean Black wrote in message ...

Don't be daft... It's related to the rigidity of your engine. If your engine is not rigid it rattles under heavy revving and makes the rear wing (which is attached to it) break. The only solution is to either: develop a more rigid engine, reduce acceleration, top speed and kerb use, don't put drivers on flying laps or preferably all three. It is helpful to use all the statistics available on driver, tyre, fuel, engine and circuit before setting driver orders and set up and will save a lot of time in the long run. I have taken my own advice and it hasn't happened since.

hmmm, had this happen once to my in my so far 5 year career with Jordon. Even though I have mist of driving orders maxed out during the race, Ive only had it happen once. Current as of 2003 80+ million in cash + 20 invested 58 million in sponsorship for 2003 Fishichella and Wurz as drivers (wont pay more than 5 million in drivers) Mercedes engines Goodyear tires Shell fuel Tire, Engine, and Fuel works deals All facilities (minus wind tunnel) Reduced staffing to 50 each Not doing too shabby. No I dont fastforward the races, and no I dont hex-edit the save files for cash. First 2 years were a struggle, but been kicking butt since. In 2002 took 1 & 2 in drivers points, and won owners championship by 38 points.

Hehe!!! who you calling daft!! :oP Okay so my explanation is misleading... but I found it was kerb use that had more of an effect than the acceleration and braking... you mentioned all three of them, I reduced acceleration and braking by 1 click and curb use by 3-4 clicks and it worked for me at race 2... Race 1 my rear wing started to go at half race distance but I was so far in front that I managed to nurse the car home! :O) >Don't be daft... >It's related to the rigidity of your engine.
