F1C Start of race tip.

How many times have you started a race, only to discover you're still on your qualifying setup, and only have enough fuel for 2 laps!!? I also have the problem that very occasionally I get into the car to find that my MSFF (gameport) isn't working. I think this is more to do with the OS than the game, though. Well, here's the tip you need... If the race has already started, hit <control y> to put yourself back onto the grid. Then, before the red light go out, press <Escape>. This puts you back in the pits, where you can change your setup, and restart the race. If your controller doesn't work, select the controllers option, then select the force feedback option, then re-enter the race. This always seems to turn my controller on, and All Is Well (TM). R.
