can yo drive ya wimp!!!!!!!

www.f1racingsim.com has a very complete setups section, go there to get your setups... Also, what are you using to steer your car? I'm assuming since this is your first racing sim, you are probably using a joystick, or worse yet, the keyboard... most of the time a joystick is fine (and is what I used for a long time) For some reason with this game though, joystick control is very touchy... it seemed like you could either steer a bit, or a lot, but not inbetween... I finally bought a driving wheel (Thrustmaster Nascar Pro) and I LOVE it... if you have about $130 or so laying around, pick one up (or find a cheaper wheel if you dont want to spend that much) or if you are a rich bastard, get the new 4000 model from ECCS, for a mere $1500... or, if you are REALLY obsessed, get a hypersimulator (a***pit thingy you sit in...) I beleive that Dave Mansell, the top lap holder on the GPL demo, uses one... Brian Short

If you live in the US, and if there's SAM'S club near you (and you're a member)... then they have them for $89.95. Not bad at all... wish I had seen them before paying the same price Brian paid! :-( A wheel is fantastic with a sim... add tremendously to the "experience". Have fun, Andre
