Where is thir rob guy??? He seems to know whats going on!!

They're having a laugh!!

Bonus, I am inclined to agree with you. However I have just gone 2.2 seconds faster through not trying so hard and braking as late.

Right, i can't do this. I am currently sitting on 1:49.4 with Ralph schumacher and going nowhere any quicker, I also jump the two obvious corners, but where am I going to get another 7 seconds from?? I tried going down the pit lane, no joy, and I don't think any other corners are jumpable, so where are all these extra seconds coming from??

The left analogue stick steers and the right accelerates/brakes.

Nobby, I am getting rather %$%#£@off with this game now. No matter what I try I seem to always be in the 1:49's or 1:50's exectly how did you get your time as Im not acustomed to being beaten. Im cutting the corners in the two most obvious places(Bus stop and chicane after first timing beam). Have you found somewhere else where you can fly round a corner and just bounce off the wall and makeup a lot of time or are you really so much better than me.

Also what are your split times if you dont mind me asking, as I would like to know where Im loosing so much time? My first sector is around 32-33 and then the second is in the 1:20 region.

The first sector is flat out apart from the hairpin at the begining so I assume you make all your time up in the middle as from the last sector it flat out all the way to the end.

How do you use the analogue sticks? They turn the car.
When you rev the engine the car goes out of neutral and into gear. You have to try to floor it after the lights go out. I'll try your method to see if I can get it to work.

I always prefer the external view on car games, however when I used the internal view on my first go I seemed to be able to do quite good times without feeling as though I was on the verge of crashing all the time.

I do agree with the impression of being slow though in the external view.

01:47:910 With M Schumacher, getting there slowly!
