One of the bigger problems with racing online with the F1 2k2 mods is
the near constant flood of F1 drivers trying to join a mod race. It's
frustrating to try and convince somebody that "HEY! You have chosen the
wrong session, LEAVE!" I think the problem has several facets...
First, the hardest to control, are the immature guys who deliberately
join a mod session just so they can be 15 to 20 seconds faster than
everyone els...
The next group are those who just didn't pay enough attention to the
race header...GTR what?
the thired group are the non-net-savy user who only has F1 2k2 itself
and probably doesn't even know there are mods for the sim.
We need someway to EDUCATE the latter two types of users so that they
will learn to recoginize the difference between all the various mods and
the original F1 sim.
I think websites that cater to the F1 crowd could be the most
beneficial in teaching the F1 drivers just what all those letters mean.
(GTR-F, M3, CART, Alfa etc etc.)
I was wondering if somebody could make a few web pages that show the
various mods and which ones that should be avoided. These pages could be
swapped to as many F1 2k2 sites as possible. Hopefull if Johnny Racer sees
the tutorial enough times, he'll figure out that F1 cars don't belong with
the mods.
The biggest drawback to this is first, crafting the pages, and second,
getting ahold of the Italians and Germans that have F1 websites so that
they can also post the problem. The more people we reach, the fewer F1
cars would be needless stuff into the online Mod sessions.

I was almost wetting myself - driving the Alfa mod at the Nurburgring - this
guy joins in an Alfa that does 17,000 rpm and 180 mph ( hmmm ) - was SUCH a
spanner he was 20s slower than me :D Couldnt get round the track in one go.
