GP2 Brazil settings questions...

4 posts by 4 people · 09 Dec 1996 - 11 Dec 1996

Hi all, When I race on the circuit of Brazil, I can't do more than 3 laps with all of engine power. After that time, the rpm decreases more and more. If I continue for some other laps, in auto-gear selected, the 6th gear can't be reached (the rpm is very low). What is my problem??? Thanks. Jean Fleurant

You have probably worn the plank too much. Raise the car or use packers to keep the car from rubbing against the ground. Guy Brosseau
I suspect that your plank has worn out! Does the little car icon on the bottom right of the dash flash yellow for the first few laps & then go red? If so you need to increase the ride height. This is becoming one for the FAQs (is anyone writing one?) - a lot of the GP2 setups that you can get from the Internet are hotlapping ones which have ultra low ride heights and are only designed to last for one or two laps. Cheers, Richard

Maybe your car is set too low? On the bottom right part of the***pit there's a top view of your car, does the central shaft flash yellow? Actually for this to happen it should flash red... There's a plank at the bottom of your car placed by the FIA so that you don't set your car too low and don't run too fast. If you scratch more than 1mm of it you're disqualified. In the game you are not, but you are penalized by a loss of power. Check the ride heights in the Advanced setup and on the performance graphs (shouldn't go down to zero). Check 'Plank Wear' in 'Car Setup'/'Advanced'/Inspect'. Hope this helps. Karim PS: I guess gradual parts wear would be great if implemented, like for instance the front left suspension getting looser after hitting something. What we have now it's either good or broken :( Sincerely, Karim ---------------------------------------- Please double any reply with an e-mail. My ISP loses them less often :(
