GP2 questions

1 post by 1 person · 04 Nov 1996 - 04 Nov 1996

I just started with GP2 and have some questions that I can't seem to find answers for in the manual (so no RTFM's please) During a non championship race, I had a couple of 'shunts' and a couple of 'punts' (can I help it if the guys engine blows right in front of me and he almost stops going into a chicane ??) anyway, in the last 2 laps I seemed to have a problem with the car (all realisms on) I don't know if a front wheel was locking, or skidding, or maybe I just wore the tires out but just driving straight I would get these little flicks to one side and it sounded like a tire skidding a bit (very faint sound). The damage display didn't show anything, and I wasn't called into the pit, but I had to slow so much that I almost lost my lead. Any ideas? At the end of the race, is there any way to inspect the vehicle (like during practice/car setup) ? I would like to know what I did to the wheels,plank,etc during the race. After I crossed the finish line, and before 'race over', I hit ESC and saved the GAME. I wanted to save a hot lap or two, but found that I couldn't. Do I have to hit ESC during the race and 'save hot laps' then? In car setup for a bumpy track the ride height trace are pretty jagged, should I be trying to smooth them out by going to softer springs, or are they jagged simply because the 'sensors' on the car are picking up the bumps in the track. Finally, in the little car damge indicator on the lower right panel, does the line running down the center of the car come on when the plank is rubbing?? Thanks Tom T.
