F1RS Replays

Now that I'm finally getting halfway decent at F1RS, I would like to save some of my better laps. The trouble is that I can't figure out how to see, much less save, a replay. Let me explain that, although I'm in the US, I apparently bought the British version of the game. (I just noticed the tech support and e-mail addresses). I don't know if the screens differ any from the US version. Specifically, I would like to save my better laps from Time Attack mode. The manual is unclear, at best. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

> I would like to save my better laps from Time Attack mode. > The manual is unclear, at best. I presume you are talking about ghost mode? First ensure you have selected ghost mode and *not* free run in the pre race screen, via the *mode* option. (forgotten what the screen is actually called?) Choose your set-up, etc, and start a time attack session. You have to complete at least one full lap before the game will save your lap. When you have completed a lap you want to save (gone past the start/finish line) simply press escape, and choose exit. The game will save your lap for you. To race against your ghost lap. go to the pre race screen with the *ghost* option. Click on the ghost option, and it will show you the fastest times for that particular circuit, select the time you want race against (it should now be highlighted) and leave this screen. When you go back to the track the ghost car should be waiting at the start/finish line as you approach, and will move off as you pass the line. *Peter* 8-)

Thanks for that info. I'll give that a try. Actually, though, my question was regarding just viewing a replay of yourself running a solo lap as fast as you can. (That's what I meant by Time Attack.) I would like to study what I did right and what I did wrong. Can that be done? Thanks again.

Erm? well thats *not* what you said? I quote.... "I would like to save my better laps from Time Attack mode" You *can* save your better laps, and replay them via the ghost mode option, which is what I have advised you to do. You *cannot* save a lap, and then view it via various camera options etc, at will. You can *only* do this in race or championship mode, via pressing escape while on the track, and then selecting replay. (Provided you have the replay option enabled in the game configuration screen?) 8?) *Peter* 8-)
