F1RS rain set-up problem

Hello all, I am competing in a full season of grand prix circuits using the expert setting, but I have run into an annoying set-up problem. I am currently at the Interlagos circuit which has 85% Humidity and it is raining. I just cannot get my car to run like the other computer AI cars. They can do the main left hand corner before the start finish line in 4th or 5th gear and I have no option to slow down to 1st or 2nd gear. I have tried Guy Cotes rain set-up but it is no better than where I got with my rain set-up for this circuit. I have also noticed that the other cars don't go "Squish squelch" in the corners like my car always does, has that got something to do with the way my car is set-up ? Is there anyway to steal the computer controlled cars set-ups ?, or for that matter my team mates set-up ? All help would be greatly appreciated. -- Tony Please remove all capital letters to reply.
There's no way you can be faster than the Ccars on some turns.It's simply a bug.Even if you set the maximum wing angles and drive using all anti-slipping aids,there's no way to beat them on some turns.The Ccars run on rails ,they don't obbey any physics laws. It seems that the UBISOFT testers(if there were any) simply didn't race on rainy conditions.The difference in speed is so obvious that's the only reason i can think about. Rafael

(UbiSoft beta testing are based in Montreal, Qubec) I still don't understand racing companies that engage non-experienced drivers to test their own racing titles. I mean it's normal for arcade ones like POD. Any normal gamer can help them. But serious racing simulator ? They are just making the title worse. Every other company (Papyrus, Bethesda, MIcrosoft) had real life racecar drivers as testers. I mean it's time people to realise that F1RS and even more the upcoming flop called Monaco GP (they just tell you to do all the job instead of them, it doesn't cost them very much in time and employees) are full of BIG flaws. They should completly redo their game engine instead of continuing with the POD one. I mean it's over 2years and a half old. - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

A major part of the buying public is gamer, not a RL racecar driver... BTW, RL racecar drivers didn't work that well for Microsoft and Bethesda (X-Car), did it? Remco
