@Whazup9ontwitter Cool, there is a cool video on youtube showing the making of this game.

I forgot to add..... yes, the physics are awesome, very realisic. I watched the video without sound and it very much looks like a real race.

@pateli2008 Hehe, that is great for me to hear. :^) I just watched Rubens onboard from Spa 2010 and it really is quite similar to this. The track is a little different, the last couple of turns / chicane. In the year 2000 the fastest lap of the race at Spa was 1:53 / Ferrari. My fastest lap is a 1:53 also! :^P I think what is hurting my time the most is how bad I bottom out on O Rouge. I go into it in 6th gear 160 mph but when I bottom out I have to downshift to 4th gear. Lost lots of time

Looks like the Minardi doesn't have enough top speed to fight for a win in this circuit, playing clean, that is :).

You kinda drove to the limit here, and yet got a second place more than 5 seconds behind the winner. Hmmm, sounds like you won't be able to make it in just 4 laps, I can be wrong of course, let's see.

BTW, I don't like the AI being different on the same circuit at different times. I've noticed it very clearly in Monaco.

@pateli2008 Ya the Minardi is down on top speed for sure. I can probably win but this race worked perfectly for the championship for me, I got 2nd and Schumi 5th. :^) So next time I make a video it will be Monza Italy. Ya it's easy to make mistakes at Spa, with the high speeds... Ya the AI, I guess maybe the programmers wanted to make sure the game didn't become redundant and boring. But ya it can be frustrating when one race is too easy to win and the next race is impossible to win! Thanks
