GP2 car performance

Is there a performance difference between cars in GP2? I currently drive Jean Alesi's Ferrari. If i switch to say the Lola or the Williams will there be a difference in handling/top speed etc.(assuming they are set up the same) or will each respond differently? Also, what's the top speed you guys/gals have reached. I saw 200 mph a few times in the Ferrari, but never higher. Vroom! Craig

I have gotten to 207 at Hockenheim in the Ferrari and the McLaren. Todd Walker

I have driven the Ferrari of Jean Alesi also but currently i drive the Forti -Corse and i see that in the corners the Forti is much slower but lets say at Hockenheim on the straight you can pull out. Nick Wakefield

The game/sim is based on the 1994 season, and the cars are modelled on the cars for that season. So yes, there is a difference in each cars performance, and each drivers performance. But bear in mind the fact that the opposition cars standards can be set via the drive options menu, so how you set this, eg:- 1994, random, all the same, will affect the game/sim. Also bear in mind that some of the newer editors/updates, have patches included in the programs to update the car/driver performance levels. So if you are using, say, a 1997 update patch/program for GP2, it may also have a patch included which alters the car and driver standards to also match 1997. I have reached approximately 208mph for Monza and for Hockenheim, This was achieved by altering the cars set-up only, not by using editors or patches. However, if you do use some of the editors which are now available, you can alter the cars power, (bhp), to give it much more acceleration and power, and therefore increase top speed. I'm sure others out there have obtained higher speeds? d:~) d:~) **Peter**

mph a few times in the Ferrari, but never higher. << Craig, have a look at http://www.powerup.com.au/~philmak/fulthrot.htm . It will give you a way of testing to see if you're getting the performance you should be getting from your GP2 setup. Hope it helps. Phillip McNelley http://www.powerup.com.au/~philmak/

: The game/sim is based on the 1994 season, and the cars are modelled on : the cars for that season. : So yes, there is a difference in each cars performance, and each drivers : performance. He is referring to the human driven car. For that there is no difference in performance betwen teams. I regularly see 207mph in a Simtek at Monza and Germany.

Your own car's performance is the same regardless of which team you actually choose to drive for. The computer's cars are tuned to each team individually. For example, the 1994 Ferrari will be the fastest car down the straights because the program gives the Ferrari the most horsepower. Peter Lee

If you coose a Ferrari (with the strongest engine) or a Footwork with a Hart V8, your power is the same. Check two cars with the same setup! greetings, Sebastian Enke http://www.uni-jena.de/~p5ense/start.html --=3D=3D--------------------------------------- What are we doing tonight, Brain? The same as every night,Pinky. We try to take over the world!

Nick, you should let yourself check by your psychiatrist, dude! :-) _Fact_ is: whatever car you choose, it becomes the "player's car", with fixed BHP, and grip settings. There's only a performance difference between them when they are driven by computer guys.

Correct, there is no difference in the "human" cars performance, that is governed by the set-up you use. d:~) #:~> **Peter**

Hi. The car you drive -- be Ferrari, Williams or whatever -- will be always the same for you. The only difference is that when you drive a car like Williams you're taking it out to be your opponent. And it'll be one less strong opponent within the race for you. Otherwise, if you drive a car like Lotus -- wichi is not a computer leading car -- you'll have to race a in more difficult environment because you haven't taken a strong computer car like Williams.
