GP2 Quickrace Setup

Could someone clarify for me which car setup is loaded in GP2 when you go to Quickrace? I had always thought that the setup used was the last one you had loaded for that circuit, but now I'm not so sure. I was running Hungary, Practice Any Circuit, with my race setup, 25 laps worth of fuel, running consistant laps in the high 1:19s-low 1:20s. Handling was good and well balanced. Went into Quickrace, same fuel load and the car handled like a pig. Couldn't get below 1:23, and understeering terribly. I'm sure it wasn't the same setup. Went back to Practice, loaded my qualifying setup which is good for about two flying laps before the plank starts dragging. Then went back into Quickrace and ran about 15 laps of the race and the plank stayed intact. So, this obviously was not my qualifying setup that was being used! The question is, what setup is being used, and is there a way to force GP2 to use a particular setup in Quickrace??? Thanks, IJM

Go to the DRIVE OPTIONS menu on the second page. Click the car setup button on the bottom left of the screen. You can load any setup, even ones from another track. If you are looking for a good gp2 series, the Starting Grid is great for complete realism, run against the clock, 100% race distance. E-mail for the URL. Steve

You must remmember that for unlimited practice, and qualifying, your bhp will be set to 780. For practicing and racing, it will be set to 770. (If i'm wrong someone correct me). Also you probably have the option checked in your setup screen which asks you if you want seperate qualifying and race setups. Ian Lake

I'll do it :-) Qualifying 790 Practice/race 780 But when you start in the pits or when you start a race, the game deducts at random 1-7 BHP from that value (to simulate different atmospheric and track conditions if you want) JoH =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When everything else failed, we can still become im- mortal by making an enormous blunder....
