there was a documentary on this on chanel 4 about a year go, it concluded that senna's williams was bottoming out, it bottomed out as he reached the corner and he lost control, the programme makers had footage, and telemetry given to them directly by the williams team. On board cameras showed that the steering wheel was moving about, and many thought that was the problem, but it was proven tby ralv585 - F1
i play gp4 with a modified t-cam, its lowered down into the cockpit, making each cockpit realistic with the cars shape, i was wondering if there was anyway you could import the visor, so you can get the cool rain affect in the wet, and the headmovement mod for the t-cam, madman is it possible to do this myself with your tweaker or do you need to write new code?by ralv585 - Grand Prix 4

"i know nascar is different but why do they have so big viewing figures, bigger than f1 i believe? surely f1 is global whereas nascar is mainly us." F1 is second only to the world cup and the olympics in terms of viewing figures, about 330million people watch each race, now with china holding a race, with their 1 billion population it is sure to rise even further, nascar is very populaby ralv585 - F1

you need to fiddle around with your f1graphics.cfg, you can find it in your gp4 folder, or go into your control panel, click on sound and audio devices, there will be a speaker settings tab, click on advanced, click on hardware acceleration, switch it to basic or standard, and the sound quality to standard or improved, it worked with me and i've got a PIII 667 running at 30fps, it was all doby ralv585 - Grand Prix 4

you have to remember your slot, think of whos going out before you, and when you see them stop the time acceleration, what i do is use gpxsat? the thing in the top left corner, and switch it to lap times, you'll now be able to see whos on track, when the car in front of you appears, stop accelerating and wait for your turn.by ralv585 - Grand Prix 4
if you get a 9600se and de cloak it you can get the same performance as the 9800 for half the price, becasue the 9600 is a shackeled 9800, so get one of them instead, but be quick cos they've stopped making themby ralv585 - Grand Prix 4

Seeing as none of you will answer my wet weather problem, i thought i'd come up with something more interesting. on the final lap, a few corners before the flag, you'll see the marshalls waving the flag, wouldn't it be cool if you could reposition them so they stand by the pit wall by your team, so when you win the race, you can go over to the wall and take the praise just like theby ralv585 - Grand Prix 4

before the official patch 9.6 came out, there was an unofficial one that updated the drivers and tracks, with the unofficail one it had this thing where, when you entered the tunnel the screen would go black, for a second, and when you left it would turn bright, just like in real life, when you ride onboard, is there anyway you can get this effect back?by ralv585 - Grand Prix 4
