I must now be able to fully concentrate on the race tomorrow and not let this amazing result make me think that I'm invincible.

Of course, we weren't that happy to see Tarquini being so far off the pace, but this is his first weekend in the car so that's maybe why he is struggling.

I believe the car balance in this mod is way off, as I don't think that I'm that good at setting up the car & driving it. But as you can see from the times of the McLaren cars, I didn't drive this on an easy difficulty - that was still at 100%.

Believe I was stunned myself on how good my time was, but then as I watched the AI drivr I noticed why: I drove very wildly over the kerbs, practically on the very limits of the track, while the AI didn't use the kerbs at all.

Nope, still running with a keyboard.
AndreaModa wrote:Wing the difficulty up to 110%
Whenever I find the time to do a race on mine, I often adjust the difficulty because of weird results like this, so it will vary from circuit to circuit depending on how strong I am, so sometimes it'll be over 100%, sometimes lower. Over the course of the season, the range is probably something around 93-106% for me.
Sophie Fabron wrote:Of course I am happy to win in only my second race ever, and not only that but I took the Grand Chelem as well! However, I must thank my luck that I managed to keep so many good drivers behind me. First I was threatened by Senna, who eventually ran wide at Tosa and then collided with Mansell when rejoining the track; Senna managed to limp to the pits and eventually grabbed the last point, but Mansell's race was over. Then I was chased by Berger, who really pushed me hard and many times nearly got past, but apparently he destroyed his tyres in the process and went into the barriers at Piratella. From then on I was chased by Prost, and it looked like there would be a French 1-2 before his suspension failed with just a couple of laps left. The second place was briefly inherited by Brundle until he too slipped on worn tyres and had to retire. With the Williamses having self-destructed a few laps earlier, this meant that the Larrousse duo got second and third. But they were too far back to threaten me so I could cruise to an easy victory, and with Alliot 2nd we got the French 1-2 after all, and Grouillard added to the great day by being 4th. The hard tyres lasted well throughout the entire race so I didn't even need to pit! And what's even better, me and my team now lead both championships!

Nuppiz wrote:Aerond wrote:Just a quick question; what driving aids are you using?
Traction and stability controls, steering help (makes sure I don't steer the wheels too much) and ABS. It's quite much but it's impossible to drive effectively on the keyboard with less aids, at least for me.
Ferrarist wrote:Just out of curiousity: Have you tried the 1995 version of Imola? Maybe this one will put out more realistically results?
Aerond wrote:I understand the use of traction with keyboard, but that is effectively giving you massive advantage; I´ve been trying the mod in the last few days and driving only with opposite lock, and achieving the lap times you´re doing is almost impossible (haven´t tried the AGS, but done with slow cars like the Coloni and the Onyx). The cars are quite easy to drive, but you have to be conservative when exiting the slow corners.
Sophie Fabron wrote:This prequalifying wasn't as easy as the previous one. The track was wet for the entire hour, so everyone struggled to find grip. But, I still managed to go through and will continue into the main session.
Nuppiz wrote:So, I tried to go through Imola without traction control, but never got past Tosa without spinning. And when I tried to use the 1995 configuration in the 1989 Mod, the game crashed.
Sophie Fabron wrote:Any advantage I had at Imola was now gone, and I had no chance to threaten the top positions. I was even half a second behind my team mate, but luckily no-one got between us. The talk of the day was Ghinzani's impressive performance in the Osella which prequalified for the first time this season, and is looking surprisingly stron in the main qualifying as well. Arnoux wasn't last this time, but that's a third DNQ for him in a row... I actually chatted with him after the session and he said that he was not driving for positions, just for fun. Well, if DNQing constantly is your idea of fun, then maybe...
Sophie Fabron wrote:The second qualifying session saw a slightly wet track after a short rain hit the track in the morning, so the times were different than before. However, my setup seemed to fit the conditions well and I managed to climb quite high in the grid, sandwiched between the two Benettons. Pierluigi Martini surprised with 5th while Ferrari had a very disappointing session, Berger 20th and Mansell 23rd.

I'm expecting a storyline where she is married to HWNSNBM and therefore inherited some of his godliness.
Theorists, stand up.
