You can't!!! Camiel Schoonens http://www.euronet.nl/users/facabapi/camiel/ The best online GP2 page in Holland

? Can anyone tell me how you can brake using the keyboard without ? locking the wheels (making smoke) ??? When the wheels start to lock-up, tap at 'Z' very quickly, I find it very effective.

It is almost impossible :-) But, sometimes I manage to, you have to start braking (always pressing the key) then when you get slower you release it and just brake gently by pressing the key several times. All replies must be sent here or to E-mail.

How 'bout using an analogue joystick or a wheel? :-) I can't remember the last time I drove my (real) car with the keyboard. __ __ ( ) __ ---- ,` `'-|,-;,_,``. ----------------------------------------------- /////// /,--'\`\\\\ //// ((| \\\\\ Paul Martin // \\ \\ University of Queensland |\\ Medical School ||)) Brisbane, AUSTRALIA /|| ((|| \|| The Staff of Aesculapius ----------- \\ ------------------------------------------------------- V (c)copyright 1996

Try using digital-ABS (antiblocking system): brake hard until you reach third or second gear, this may change with your particular gear ratio, and then, before you lock the wheels, push and release very fast the brake key in a repetitive sequence until you reach the desired final speed. Redezz 2u!

I can't decide whether I actually brake any faster or not using 'anti lock' methods, any comment? I think it does tend to conserve tires significantly though. AC SJS Racing
