You're damn right about good and bad tracks. I too am basically sh*t at Silverstine and Catalunya. And this proves a problem with team ability tests.

Here's some YouTube vids of the PS3 CE edition

the last one is the Japanese version already out!

yeah I also really dont like silverstone, suzuka and spain is ok but the AI is so damn hard there (on hard)

BTW how can you go fast through turn 4 in brasil? the one right after that long straight

It can depend on your own driving style, Mine is a smooth yet slightly aggresive style, Like Button's, With that turn, it is blind as you enter. as you come to the corner, brake at about 90-100 metres from the corner, and then turn in, Try to clip the apex, and stick to the racing line, then put the power on as soon as possible, try to make sure you don't hit the grass on the other side of the track, otherwise you're gonna spin.

I hope this is of help. :)

thanks i'll try it out tomorrow.

worked like a charm :D

I was 1 second faster than my previous record at brasil.

1.13.463 first try :)

previous record brasil was a 1.14 mid

did I mention that this is my first serious F1 game because I didn't own a ps2 for a very long time. :P

One question: is Sony going to extend their fia exclusive? and when does it end?

And do you have more tips kipi19?

Do you drive automatic or manual? and which one is faster?

I'm currently driving automatic on hard and I can do manual on easy-medium

Should I stick with automatic on hard or go manual?

I assume you have this game for some time, did you notice any difference in your lap times? what mode do you play most? (career, championship, quick race, time trail etc)

And did you spend hours making perfect setups for every track? any tips on that?

BTW is it true that quick races always use default setups?

I hope i'm not a big trouble :oops:

I'll go manual from now on. 8)

I got my first manual win :)

20%, china, medium with everything off.

I was raikonnen and here's the top 3:

1. raikonnen     ----

2. schumacher +7.00

3. massa         +19.00

I know it's not much but it's a start right.

7 seconds is pretty good gap... now you should slowly build up more stamina and then switch to hard on manual.. then slowly slowly get rid of the driving aids slowly... you see your car get slightly faster each time you turn something off but requires more and more concentration.

all aids where and are off. And I'm competitive on some tracks on hard so yeah I should switch soon.

That's quite good for a start! 

Thank you both

I got a new lap Time for Monaco

1:11:704 - Williams FW18

There we go ;)
