I was just wondering if anyone had had reliabilty problems during a race or at any time for that matter. I've been playing the game since it came out and I am yet to have any. Have i just been lucky. Or will i have them all when i'm coming out of the final corner at adelaide and stop me winning the championship? I've seen the other cars have engine blow outs and other terminal reliability problems but none happen to me --------------------------------------------- Lee Keane www: [link lost in import: /~keane/index.htm]

i > the 4th race my brakes left so it defently works. > = > Reidar Hello! I've had some problems too, in Monza I had stuck throttle while = screaming into Curva De Vialone about 320 kph (200 mph). I was happy it = was just a game. I went out into the wall about 300 kph, it sure hurts! In Canada my engine started smoking badly some 500 meters before pit = lane entry, I entered pits and my crew fixed the engine. Voil=E1, back to = racing ! Toni

Yup, you have been lucky :) I've had oil leaks, transmission probs and at least one engine blow-up, oh well, that's what I get for choosing a McClaren I suppose :) Stephen Scully: Time is an universal invariant Mulder: Not in this zipcode

Make sure you have those options turned on. I had a water leak problem at Interlagos and the engine went up in smoke coming up the hill after the start/finish and the left and right to turn ?3? ?4? -- Robert Knauber SRA Series Director http://www.erols.com/dknauber/sra/top.html http://www.git.net/knauber/top.html

From the Main Menu, go to Drive Menu->Drive Options->Car Realism and make sure that all of the breakdown options are marked. If they already are marked and you haven't had a breakdown yet, then you've got a reliable car...so far. :-) -- +------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | G.

You`ve been real lucky. I had a brake failure at Monza. Screaming down towards Curva della Roggia at 200mph with no way to stop make syou glad it is only a sim <VBG> Mark _________________________________ "..every lap I think `Oh bollocks!
