F1GP, unbeatable time on Imola?

I love F1GP from Microprose, and because I've done it so often now, I wondered how good I am. On Imola I'm able to put a time below 1:20:00 (1:19:874 to be exact) in the standard setup (you know, front and back wing 40). I only got two time below 1:20, so I wondered, is there somebody who can beat me on this one. I'd love to race against him/her.

Wow, how does that work! Are the times you listed above times that were driven withou cheating? I drove below 1:20 and with the standard setup (normal wing, C-compound tires) I can hardly imagine that someone can drive below 1:16. How do they get to those times? Please tell me something more about this competition and these astronomical times.

[Just want to point out that there isn't an entry form any more.] After I discovered this newsgroup, I though I was pretty hot stuff at F1GP; I'd repeatedly slashed the records and won the championship at ace level with ease. Then I discovered Hilden Sami's posted times and setups - wow, was I slow or what?! So I embarked on a quest for the fastest times and the best setups in the world - and so the HOF was born (don't work, this isn't going to turn into an epic tale!). And verily, the HOF grew and it's members multiplied, and the records tumbled as DUG and IV and RS1 battled for position and I felt slower and slower... Today's story teaches us that (a) there's always someone quicker, (b) the default setups are crap, (c) always drive on Q tyres, and (d) when F1GPv2 comes out all this will be forgotten as the battles begin again... :-) There endeth the lesson for today. -- Gizmo, High Priest of the Essex Church of Northern-speaking Racers -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Launchpad is an experimental internet BBS.

<<Please tell me something more about this competition and these astronomical <<times The way a got my most astronomical times was by jumping my frame rate up. My 486 25sx can process about 13-15 frames a sec. If I set the rate to 25 it was like driving in Sloooowwww motion. I did this for a year before realizing that at more reasonable frame rate I wasn't such a stud. king

Do I detect a hint of jealousy? If you're allowed to jump chicanes, a time of 1:13.869 (at least) is possible, averaging 152.6mph and some serious suspension damage. :-) At first, I didn't believe these times either... -- Gizmo de HOF -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Launchpad is an experimental internet BBS.

These guys were talking about STANDARD setup, you can't do 1:13 with a standard car. Wings 40/40, brake bias in middle etc. --tomi -- Tomi Keski-Heikkil? Helsinki University of Technology Servin Maijan tie 12 G 100 02150 ESPOO Tel. +358-0-4682594

I use the default setup in my simulation of 1992 Ligier. Perhaps this is not in my right mind. The problem I have, in trying to simulate poor performance, is that the game does not allow selected drivers to fail to qualify. In order to fail to qualify my Ligier, I have to drive an Arrows zB, and hope the Ligier driver fails. My time, by the way, at Imola, in a simulated 1992 Ligier, is 1:32. This seems to provide the right mix of 24th, 25th, and 26th place finishes. Can someone tell me T. Boutson's result at Imola 1992? -- My sig is more pointless than yours.

Great stuff! Nice to know what setups were used to get the good times. It means I can have a bash too! :-) Thanks. Jon

Thanks! I'll try that. :-( -- My sig is more pointless than yours.

Okay. I apologise. i fiddled with my setup a lot and have gone a lot faster. I will try some more and post s time to make you jealous. Of course no one who posts times uses cheat programs like Qtyres etc.... I never cheat but I am also not inventive enough with my setups. Tomorrow the world will be impressed (I hope) with my stunning Imola times. Later..... -- ------------------------------------- --------------------------------- ]Cheer up!!
