GP2 Wet racing possible

HoHo... No no, that's wrong. You have to set your system date to April 1. This is statistically the wetest day in Great Britain and because of the realism of GP2 this is the _only_ day where you can drive a wet race. But try December 24, it will snow... Rudi :-)

Spent last night doing just that. But all were fine. Perhaps this track was so hard the sweat was running into his eyes. ryates

Hi Rudi ! I've tried December 24th and it was great! It gave me a totally new driving experience ! Covered with snow especially monaco looks great.The only problem was the high nose of my car, because I couldn't manage to push the snow away. When I changed to a low-nose car everything was pefect. Thanx for your tip, but now I will try December the 5th. I have heard at this date all helmets cange to a Santa Claus cap (but only at Hockenheim !). Klaus :-)

Hi Klaus, are you kidding?? I tried five 100%-Races in Monaco on December 5, and I never get Santa Claus caps! But on October 31 all the heads of the drivers look like pumpkins (yes, it's true!). I found out another joke in GP2. Start the game with "GP2/HaKa" and go to Canada. Your system date has to be in winter (December or January). Then you go to "car setup" and there, believe it or not, you can select spikes or snow-chains! I tried spikes but my lap-times were really slow. Rudi :-)

Hi Rudi ! My mistake! Sorry. It was December the 6th (try again five 100% races) and it works only with the german version! I've tried October 31th and all helmets look normal. Maybe you are driving in vga. Try svga (if your PC can manage it :-)) and the helmets will look normal! No wonder ! Wait for snow and you laptimes with spikes are much faster than without! Btw. with snowchains max speed is limited to 55 miles per hour! What a f...! It's a racing game not a shopping sim! What do you think about it? Klaus :-)

Strange. I tried Canada with date February 15. It said the track was closed.

NO NO NO, That didnt happen to me! After 10 minutes with quickrace I went into the pits and i had to hit the fuel button and then a video pops out on the lap time monitor, but instesd of the times, Geoff Crammonds *** appears and he has a tatoo on his right buttcheek that says "I cant believe you bought it!" (I think it has a exclamation mark after it, Damn I cant remember!) -DG

>Strange. I tried Canada with date February 15. It said the track was >closed. You have to race one 100%-race with every single team at Hockenheim. In one of the pits (only when you stop the _second_ time) you will find a key. Pick the key by pressing the "brake"-button. Then go to Canada immedeately and you will find the track open, even on Feb. 15! Rudi;-)

Hi Simon! Try this: Set system date to April 1st. Start a quickrace at Hockenheim. After one round drive into the pits. Stay there and after about 10 minutes you will hear a voice. It's mine and I will tell you the truth. (works only with English version) :.-D Greetings Klaus

wow, what a great sense of humour ! addie

So, if there really are wet races, then why hasn't somebody had enough insight to save the thing and post it?? Jeff

If your super licence has expired then go to race at Belgium. Select a 100% race distance with all graphics on. In the race you have to push Alesi off the track in lap 21. Then in lap 34 go into the pits and stop at the Simtek box (even if you don't drive a Simtek) It seems that Simtek really needs money and they will make a fake super license for you. In order to get one type $25.000 and then leave the pits again. Then in lap 36 stop your car at Au Rouge and wait untill the marshalls push your car away. Then just leave the race and you will have your super license back!

HEEEEEEELP MEEEEE!! QUICK !!!! Which carset did you use ? 1994,1995 or 1996 ??? Or is it the same if Alesi is sitting in a Ferrari or a Benetton ? Please answer .... QUICK ! I've never had a super licence and I want to have one so badly ! I'm waiting ! Klaus

Hi Klaus You have to use the original carset of F1GP1!! (yes you read right, 1!). Because there is no _original_ possibility to import this carset to GP2 you have to download a utility called importme.zip. You can find it on http://www.dumpf.backe.com/glaubt.keiner.html I hope you know how to unzip the file. Rudi
