OK wiseguy... Attach this HOT LAP right here! Let's see how it's done! :=) ***************************** http://users.hol.gr/~maitre/ *****************************

As being a big fan of F1, that's right John Wallace! ; ), before getting into NASCAR, I have managed a 1:22.xxx within three days of serious learning and setting up a car for Monza. I am still learning though. It will probably take as long or longer to learn how to setup a car, like I did for NASCAR and Indycar II. If those of you wondering my top speed, it's 331 kph. Now, this is with a Gravis Analogue Joystick and "Auto Shift", and no other help aids!! I know there is faster people out there, but for three days..come on now..Give me some credit. I would like to thank all the people who has helped me out for their "ideals" on setting up a car for GP2. I agree with John on the theories on the "Dampener" settings..Makes sense. I have tried other ways that people have suggested, and the car was unstable in the turns. I had more "leverage or traction" using the methods by John. I have also downloaded "bigger"***pits and have noticed a "lower" processor occupancy rating. What is so strange is that, when I add more graphic details, my braking distances get longer. Which means, I have to brake earlier than usual. Any comments on experiences on this?? Not bad for a "roundy-roundy" boy, huh, J. Wallace??; ) I am looking forward to the September's SRN issue.. There's one road course for ya!!;) More on the way..hehehe take care all...

using throttle help ? All replies must be sent here or to E-mail.

Jeez, go to SIMNEWS (ok, sorry I haven't got the url handy, use alta-vista to find it.) There is a couple of 'track guides' for gp2 in it. Monza is one of them (August Edition) What is GOOD about them is well.. the times 1.21.xxx, the descriptions of what to do, the replay of how it was done AND the car setup they used to do it with. Stealing their car setup, I managed to drop 3 seconds a lap.. still a couple behind them, but hey, at least it's competitive now. Definately worth the looking. Tob

> I MADE IN MONZA 1.23.548. > IS ANYBODY WITH BETTER TIME?? I have a best time of 1.21.789 and I know many out there with better times than mine. Keep trying!

Yes... I've tried without but with the keyboard you lose part of the fun. Pody

au contraire. I find it much more challenging in terms of driver's technique and hability to mantain the car on track than using a joystick,,, It is much more demanding using keyboard with _no_ throttle help... All replies must be sent here or to E-mail.

So what? It's probably even more challenging if you drive by tapping on the the keyboard with your bare feet. Most of us purchased this because we want to simulate a formula one race car. Last time I looked, they used a wheel. I'm glad that F1GP2 has facilities that allow those who don't have access steering wheels to enjoy the sim. I hope these facilities don't give the keyboard user an unfair advantage over those of us who use wheels. I'm not criticizing those who can't afford, or for some other reason can't use a steering wheel. Use what you can. Have fun. I wish one person would act as a repository and post F1GP2 lap records, the way they were posted for ICR. I would like this list to indicate the control type, and any help that was enabled. I use no help, but I do race invulnerable. So I know there are people who think I'm a wimp too. Larry

What are your lap times? Pody

Im able not to do lightning fast laptimes, but I'm able to get to the 20sec in Imola. NOt bad. Only now I'm going to be able to _my_ car setups, so I'm looking forward to improve it... ...:-=>> The freaking Mail Band <<=-:... http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/3039
