I'll like to know have fast other people can drive at Hockenheim, during qualifying I can get into the low 1.45's but that isn't enough to be on the front row. No matter what I try and can't go any faster. I have tried changing almost everything, wings, antiroll, brakes, suspension, ride high(it helps, but not for long, the engine breaks down) etc. Please help me. -- Boegildvej 52-4, 7430 Ikast, Denmark. --------------------------------------------------

I just got a 1:43:993 and that put me on pole on semi-pro mode. Let us know and I'll send you the setup [but I don't want any of this 'me too' lark!!]. BTW. Has anyone noticed how bad Schumacher is at Hockenheim [in GP2 I mean ;-) ] Davey B.

Ive done 1:43.892 in Practice mode. VERY little downforce and stiff springs. Reduced ride height and long gearing too.

Setting up the car will take you so far, then you have to do the rest yourself. I went from 1:44.787 to 1:43.343 by changing my approach & exit from the chicanes and infield section. Practice, practice, practice ... James -- James Bevan NeXTMail & MIME welcome

I did a 1m43s531 a week ago at ace level. No wings and a lot of packers. And indeed learn those chicanes, especially the Ost-Kurve-chicane (the 2nd that is). cu.. Tim
