I do not have the GP2 yet but I would like to know whether it features different fuel load in pre-race practice or qualifying. I would like to test my race setup without starting a full race like I have to do in F1GP1. Also the annoying feature of GP1 is that drivers that are lap down don't give you room for passing . Is that fixed in GP2, which as I understand has generally more inteligent AI? Maido Remm, Estonia

This sim has absolutely the *BEST* AI of any game I have ever played, bar none. The back markers will pull off line to let you pass & the leaders will give you hell trying to out-brake you in to the corners, but if you have the line, they will back off & do their best not to hit you.

You will find that you can do a certain speed in qualifying, but still using the same setup and fuel load, in the race you will be 3 - 4 seconds slower. GP2's AI is second to none. Backmarkers will move over to let you through but sometimes, just as in real life, they will ignore you - particularly if they are in a battle of their own. *************************************************************************** * Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so... * Glenn Davies * ***************************************************************************
