GP2, how to do faster??

I have been playing gp2 since it came out, I have gotten a 1.26.7xx on Montreal track.. I recently logged on to Net, checking to see how good my time was.. <boy was I wrong> How is a 1.17 possible??? I use a wheel, <tm gp1> ... I'd love to hear any comments about this.., especially from anyone who can get times in that area.. thanks, Adam. -- +----/-\|)/-\|^|--tfn helpdesk volunteer---end-user-comittee-member-----+ | web: http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~cp845 .`or bad but thinking makes | +-----------------------------------------.'it so.--Hamlet--------------+

Oh dear, your time is slooowwww. I think you need to practice a bit more and download a proper setup. I regularly run in 1:24.1xx, not fast by internet standards but achieved with a joystick and steering help - which makes me slower. In my 1st half hour a practice with my new GP1 I managed to get 1.26.2xx. Look at http://infoweb.magi.com/~ericcote for setups that may help you.

Practice, practice, oh, and did I mention practice? d:~) **Peter**

try use a William, they have a lot more hp and traction

Actually, the players car is always the same performance no matter what team you choose to drive. Am I right, guys? <I know it can be altered with editors> Dave B

But te breakdown factor is there. The Larousse WILL breakdown much more often than a Williams. Andreas

Hi Adam, What's the fastest speed you can attain at the long straights of the fast circuits, with minimum rear wing and a 6th gear of, say, 64 ? Phillip McNelley http://www.powerup.com.au/~philmak/

Well these 1:17's in montreal are not race setups. These sort of times are only achieveable by making a hotlap setup in other words very low ride hight where the plank is wearing after only one lap. You couldn't actually use this setup in a race. A good time in montreal for a quick race would be mid 121's and very high 1:20's. In a 100% race 1:22's. Mind you these are my times so if anyone does better in races congratulations becuase i've done everything to my setup you can imagine. Besides these are what the computer does at ace level using the pieter's 97 carset. So it would be pretty stupid if you could be 5secs faster than the computer. After all this is a RACING game. Now about your 1:26 at montreal that sounds like you havn't got a setup or if you do its a very bad one. On pieter's grand prix2 page there is an excellent race setup guide. By the if your wondering i use a hyper stimulator for a control. Its a cokpit you sit and drive. Cost $1800 dollars but worth ever cent.

Well, Yeah......Hockenheim has plenty straight bits. With no cheats to the prog, and little wing I get up to 209 mph in my JPS Jammer Lotus ;-). Jammer (UK) ......."reality is for Wimps!" Jammer (

The players cars always have the best traction and power. Only when the computer controls the various teams/cars does the difference in hp and traction come into affect. Wiggy
