F3 cars are much smaller and slower than Indys.

Aaah just had an 11 lap race on Grand Prix Legends at Monza, which is one of two tracks I have any hope of ever completing a race on in that game (the other being Kyalami).

Qualified 14th (fairly normal as the cars behind are all a fair bit slower, those ahead too fast to keep up with), and then a crash on the first lap takes out a few cars at the front and despite some mistakes from me, I could have conceivably finished tenth in a GPL race! :shock:

As it was I put it in the barrier at the first Lesmo on the penultimate lap and took off the whole left side of the car...

Christ that game is so hard.

Another funny glitch in F1TV on Championship Edition. In one of my reverse grid races, Massa tried to pass Albers but ended up on top of the Midland! Felipe did a piggyback for a few seconds then landed without damage. Albers was then spun and in the chaos Montoya, Alonso and Speed were eliminated.

I was playing Grand Prix Manager 2 for the first time today. I used the cheat menu to unban everything, but I did nothing else. And guess how was the grid for the first GP

He didn't take part in the quali for some reason.

I wonder what he felt was more important than qualifying? Honeymoon with Erja?

And those times are reaaaally slow for a sunny session.

Also, here are the race results:

Badoer absolutely steamrolled the field. Also, Rosset finished despite being 18 laps down.

Also, in F1 2004, HWNSNBM has won 3 out of 7 races and is currently leading the championship

I'm doing the career like this: if one team is better than excepted on season 1, the team will get a better car for season 2. HWNSNBM is driving for Williams, but I edit the results on the computer and change the drivers, teams, etc.

So in my career, HWNSNBM is driving for Minardi :mrgreen:

Really? Wow. I thought his winning margin would be bigger than that. After all, both Jackie Stewart and Damon Hill have been able to win by 2 laps before...

Well, I'm sure this is one of his worse races, if not the worst.

HWNSNBM just won the championship with 170 points!

Lineups for 2005:
Ferrari: Coulthard & Schumacher

McLaren: Barrichello & Da Matta :shock:

Minardi: Me & HWNSNBM

BAR: Button & Heidfeld
Jaguar: Webber & Fisichella
Jordan: Bruni & Pantano 8-)

Renault: Raikkonen & Sato :lol:

Sauber: R. Schumacher & Klien
Toyota: Panis & Massa :twisted:

Williams: Bernoldi & Allmendinger 8-)

EDIT: Forgot to put Williams on here.

EDIT 2: I forgot to mention that I have been using rFactor for most of the season, using RNG to decide the lineups - F1 04 doesn't even allow driver changes.

Only GMP2 can get away with doing crazy stuff like that. Which is why I love it :lol:

In fact, I had a game with Sauber in Nuppiz's 2001 mod where I turned them from upper-midfield into championship contenders, and this was the lineup for the 2008 season:

Sauber-Mercedes: M. Schumacher/Courtney
Ferrari-Asiatech: Coulthard/Barrichello
McLaren-Mercedes: Hakkinen/Montoya
Williams-Asiatech: Tuero/Button
Jordan-Honda: Villeneueve/Fisichella
BAR-Cosworth: Heidfeld/Mazzacane
Arrows-Ferrari: Panis/Burti
Jaguar-Cosworth: Badoer/Massa
Prost-Acer: Bernoldi/Zonta
Minardi-Ferrari: Marques/Zlobin
Toyota-Audi: Frentzen/Salo
ITV-European: Herbert/Verstappen

Yeah, you can't make this stuff up if you tried :lol:

Actually, the 2001 Mod wasn't made by me (one of the few mods that are so).

This never happened to me personally, but in a 1999 mod Michael Schumacher apparently signed for Arrows one season... With his 15mil salary and all... Then Arrows declared bankruptcy mid-season :lol:

I did the 24 Minutes of Le Mans in GT6 on a DeltaWing. Since I need to get the grips on the car, I put some aids on it, and used RS tires at back, RH at front. The odd thing? My tire does not wear at all.

(I finished fifth btw)

I've seen things like Diniz win on GPM2, and Heidfeld win, on F1 04 of all games, but this is just too unrealistic for my liking.

It looked like you were using a keyboard, is that right?

Well, I just had a wet-dry-wet Monaco GP where Montoya in the McLaren was leading by 6 laps in the closing stages (for the record, Michael Schumacher in the other McLaren had DNQed by this point

) when he miraculously ran out of fuel. And well, this was what happened next...

I playes F1 2012 in Career mode and started at Marussia, when Toro Rosso called me up to drive for them. Pic took my place at Marussia and in Singapore (in a 100% race) Pic managed to finish 8th out of 13 who finished. (I was 5th in the Toro Rosso, while Daniel only got 9th behind Pic) Obviously Marussia secured 10th place in the Constructors by the end of the season. Now, in the 2nd season, Marussia moved up the grid and are solid midfield contenders, and Force India now languish 4 seconds of the pace with the HRTs and Caterhams :-D
