Interesting F1GP thing

4 posts by 4 people · 03 Jun 1996 - 04 Jun 1996

Hi All I'm `mirroring' the F1 season with F1GP and had some interesting experiences with the Spanish Grand prix. I use CH pro pedals and flight yoke, with steering help and traction control turned OFF. My best qualifying time at Catalunya was 1.21.288 - which is pretty close to actual qualifying times. Anyway, I was watching Hill do his quick lap and I noticed that he used a different line into one of the corners to me. I replayed it a couples of times and then tried it myself. Lo and behold I did 1.20.853! Again, similar to Hill's actual time. This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened - has anybody else noticed the same?

Erm. Not, really - I've managed a 1:13.5 - without the chicane!

Unless you have found an update, the Campsa curve and Nissa chicane no longer
exists! So there is no link between real times and gpf1 times!Anyway , if you have found updates, please tell me! Alberto Manassero
