Anyone won world championship, 100% ACE level, no driving aids, Team dependent power enabled?
Also, how do you decide what team to drive for? I must admit, for max realism, I've started at the bottom and trying to work my way up, using real F1 situations to guide my choice of team eg 2003 season Jordan looking for British driver to get more B&H sponsorship

I did a CART championship 2002 on ACE level (full race distance, no driving aids) in Gp3 2000 (Thank you Smoking Pen for the carset). I won it, partly because the CC cars really suck in ovals and I had a few rain races where they aren't good as well (just one setup for dry and wet). I tell you, Long Beach in the rain is a challenge. Btw, I did drive for Mo Nunn (the dark red car, I think they had two different liveries). Search me why, I have no idea why I did chose them.

Haven't had time to try a championship in GP4, yet, only a few single races (50%)

Ah GP1. I was World champ (if memory serves) about 6 times at 100% race distance. Sucked at GP2, only had 1 amazing season - led every single race, broke down in each one. By Silverstone got so hacked off I abandoned the season. 8 straight mechanical retirements in the lead, what are the chances of that?? I was OK at GP3, didn't play GP32000 much, just about to finsh 2nd season at 100% on GP4. Season 1 = Arrows, 4 points, several top 10 qualifying positions, but crashed rather a lot - almost every session. So off to Minardi for season 2, again good qualifying performances, but still crash too much, only finished 3 races (upto Indy), no points. I have good pace but suck on consistency, but I dont make it easy running with worst teams! Season 3 looks like being Minardi again, but I've decided to run with TC in the wet as its just too hard otherwise.

I,ve done that once or twice! Dont do it now though, I'm enjoying the challenge of driving in the lower teams, reloading game feels like cheating! Consistent error free driving is my challenge, I'll worry about winning later (to finish first, first you have to finish.)

I once got up to Imola, but I got bored with driving the Williams all the time so I quit ;)

I did once complete a season, 25% on ROOKIE with all aids, some 3 years ago :)

I aint started a GP4 one either... did a 100% ace multiplayer one on GP3-2000.... my flatmate cost me the title when he made a stupid move up the inside of me with 4 laps to go in the last race... I flipped and retired.... he finished the last fews laps with a damaged wing to finish 2nd and take the championship.... I havn't let it go yet, and dont intend to! ;) Gutted!

I've been a world champion in GP4 but nothing happens at the end which is a bit disapointing! all you get is a photo of the drivers and then a "Your Da Man!" type message!

They could at least give you a free ride in a real forula one car!! whats this world comming to?? ;-)
