Subject says it all. When it comes to wet races, F1GP blows Indycar away. No doubt about it. The grey sky, reduced visibility, water sprays, are just so realistic. What are wet races in Indycar like? Well, besides the grey sky, nothing else visually attractive. Have you tried running a wet race in 100% distance? I've tried it once in Monaco. I came in 2nd by blocking the field. I didn't crash or spin (now that's hard to do in the rain), but just couldn't keep up with the race leader. I doubt I can do the same blocking for 100% race distance in other circuits, though... -- Isaac Wong (613) 763-6127 | Protel Compiler Group (Helpline ESN 395-4009) http://chat.carleton.ca/~iwong | Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada

It is possible - you just have to play about (for a long time) with the setups... I've even managed a clear win with traction control OFF - which makes driving in the wet the best thing in the world... A bit more wing, less front/rear wing disparity, and a milder brake balance - are what you need. >-- >Isaac Wong (613) 763-6127 | Protel Compiler Group (Helpline ESN 395-4009) >http://chat.carleton.ca/~iwong | Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada -- Paul Smyth, Dept of Medical BioPhysics, University of Manchester.
