F12001 - Indianapolis

I dont know. Maybe I'm too easily pleased, but I like the way you can do the oval flat out, without any obstructions. Burco

I tried it the other night. Actually, I set it up for a friend who doesn't know beans about F1 or sims. He couldn't handle curves and chicanes well, so I took him to Indy and set him on the oval. Absolutely boring, even for him (an oval-track guy). No sensation of speed, no challenges, no fun. But that's just our opinion...

I think it's cool that they made it possible, even if it is boring. Now if I could just figure out how to get on the old oval at Monza...

It's boring, but hey, it's just a gimmick, you're not -supposed- to drive on the oval in the first place :) What I don't agree with you is the lack of sensation of speed.. when I drove the oval in F1 2001 I suddenly realized what was missing in N4.

I haven't tried it yet, but is it possible to set up the car with so low downforce that it will be tricky to drive, and blindingly fast ? There's nothing wrong with N4 apart from hotlapping is incredibly boring. When racing, the sence of speed is definately there. :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

Hehe, I admit it, I tried experimenting with low (and no wing, a quick tap of the pitwall and rear of pit garage soon removes them ;)) at Indy. The car was slightly faster with the wing on lowest setting than no wings. Could still take the turns flat though ;) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Thu, 1 Nov 2001 19:25:30 -0600, "briGuy" <simagery@hot...mail.com> > wrote: > > >I tried it the other night.

Simple. Don't turn at T1. The whole oval's there. You can't race it, and you won't get times, etc. but you can run it. You can even run it backwards (i.e. in the Indy Car direction) if you want. "Nightrat" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3beadf4c$0$258136$[email hidden]...
