Even on short races of the '03 Hockenheim track (20 laps, no stops), I can't get my brakes to last the distance (brake duct set at 5). My pit guy isn't telling me they're getting over-temperature, though I expect that is the problem. I do like to use the brakes/throttle together to control the car's balance... short of having the maximum size ducts, is there anything I can do? KK
I raced f1 2002 ( I have F1C also) in an offline league and we came across this problem a lot, it seemed it just came down to different driving styles and how much abuse the brakes took. I never had a problem myself , even with the duct set at 1 but there were many guys having failures regularly (all races were 100%). Maybe you could play with the brake balance if you haven`t tried that to try and help a little but I am guessing that it is your driving style that is causing the problem. Hope you find a solution. all the best, Adrian.

Look at the difficulty options. One of the sliders is for Damage; Timescaled vs normal vs none. The default is Timescaled which compresses a full lenght race of say...80 laps into whatever percentage of laps you are running. If you have Timescaled selected, change it to normal and see if the condition disappears<sp?> dave henrie

Did the trick. Won my first German GP against AI (from last place, 20laps)... of course, AI was only set on 95%. Just need to get more comfortable with the stadium section, and then I'll bump up the AI strength. KK
