Anyone else noticed how when you return to other games-F1RS or GP2, you're driving is much better? After a weekend on GPL I found upon return to F1RS my lap times tumbled and I was far more confident with the car.

Oh yeah, Nascar 2 is like driving on rails now. Took me quite a while to keep my foot on the gas while changing gears :)

I don't know, I tend to find myself being too cautious in gp2 now. That game tends to respond to attacking the track with the car, rather than gliding it round - well for me anyway Robin. -- http://www.oppositelock.freeserve.co.uk Nurburgring and Grand Prix Legends Remove nospam from e-mail address to reply >Anyone else noticed how when you return to other games-F1RS or GP2, you're >driving is much better? >After a weekend on GPL I found upon return to F1RS my lap times tumbled and I >was far more confident with the car.
hahaha yeah i was backing off for gear changes.. on the street circuits its soo easy, its hard to get used to doing 20 clean laps in a row :). first gear corner, from 0 to full throttle and nothing happens :) >Oh yeah, Nascar 2 is like driving on rails now.

Yes - only problem is they all seem too easy now. F1RS seemed ridiculously easy and merely a test of steering round a course. CMR2 also offered no challenge to the seasoned GPLer! Gran Turismo was still pretty good with a 950hp Skyline. - Michael

Took me quite a while to >keep my foot on the gas while changing gears :) I lost plenty of time in the final segment of the Bullrun 1000 due to lifting of to change gears. Guess I shoud have been doing practice runs instead of seeing how far sideways you really can get at Zandvoort......
