Please post your Hotlap times here

Monaco
1 25 84

1:24.307 with keyboard.

Brazil: 1:17.892

[911]

I just picked up the game today, so I have some practicing to do:

Monaco: 1:20.981
Suzuka: 1:37:809 (only a coupleof laps)

911

Btw, this is for PS2's EA Sport F12001.

Did you cut across the water after the tunnel ?

sepang-1.45.XXX =(

I don't really enjoy the game that much. You can go full speed through a corner with the wheel turned all the way, yet nothing different happens from when its turned half-way. Perhaps I have my settings screwed up.

You are right....

Now my best time is a 1:18.8 @ Monaco, but remember this is w/ PS2, not the PC (that's why I posted the other thread: EA Sports F12001 - PS2 vs PC). Therefore, I don't know if the lap times are comparable. Also, this was in the time challenge mode, too.

[SeanValen]

A1 RING (PC)
1:14.6


P.S when I played qualifying, I saw computer times as much as 1:06 as the best, 1:08 as the standard for the top teams, if anyone is getting near these times, would appreciate set up advice, as I can't belieive I'm 6 seconds off the pace, I'm a decent enough to get close to the limit, so hope its not a EA data mistake or something, what was Michael Schumachers pole time this year at the A1 RING, that might help.

[A3]

SeanValen, those times look incorrect. Michael's pole was 1m 09.562s and Marques was last with 1m 13.585s.

Suzuka 1:36.806

Is this in normal or simulation mode?

[cygnus]

Just did a full race distance @ Monza (well, until i crashed on lap 44/53 )

Set pole at 1:23:9x

and fastest lap was 1:26:x

No aides, full simulation on PC. I straightlined the 1st chicane at the start and rejoined in 3rd place. After pitstops I was in 2nd (past Ralfy boy (i was in Montoyas car)) and charged down Rubens and passed him at the first chicane. Gain a lead by 12 seconds, .. and I suffered a mental lapse going into Parabolica. Stupid mistake really, I didn't run wide or anything, I just got on the power too quick and tried to fight it out instead of lifting, sending myself into the gravel and failed to catch the clutch fast enough.

Sucks .. but hey, thats racing .

It's in the normal mode... I haven't tried the simulation mode, yet. Is it harder?

[Peter Perfect]

Monaco: 1:25.500 with driver aid (throttle help=high)
(1:27.2 with no driver aids)

911

Yes. Much harder.

In simulation mode, the challenge area uses a setup that I'm confident a person can never acheive.

I made three attempts in the challenge level, simulation mode at Monaco - 1.20.113 fastest lap

I made many attemps in the practice time for a race, hard competition, traction control and ABS off, Damage on.My best time was 1.26.8xx. Of course, you can do better if you play and practice longer, but it isn't remotely equal to compare the PC and PS2 versions if your not in simulation mode.

BTW, I use the Force Feed back wheel.

[A3]

It's a sticky !

Unfortunately, I don't think a hotlap cmpetition will be very reliable. Why? Because all the car's physics can be edited using a text editor.

[cygnus]

Heya A3 (noticed you started going to High Gear (the forum on that place rules)). We had hotlap competitions before in F1CS2K .. Si Phi made a program to check the physics of the hotlap submitted so that nobody was cheating. He worked closely w/ ISI to make some new programs like Telemetry data and hopefully his Hotlap checker.

[A3]

Hi Cygnus, good to hear that !

High Gear has indeed a good F1 2001 forum, it's only a shame that people don't often comment on other people's hard work. The guy who was asked to make setups for instance didn't get any response until he asked for it. But, overall, it's good.

Loxley,

Yes, I see what you mean -> it IS harder... I will have to do some practicing, for sure, to get some quick times in this mode. In the normal mode I was able to dip into the low 1:17s yesterday and I'm sure I could get into the 15s (just picked up the PS2 & the game on Sunday), but that will all change now with the simulation mode. I actually like the simulation mode (although I suck at it right now) because you can spin the car quite easily if you are not careful. In the normal mode, it's impossible to spin once you get off the line.

Do you use the Force Feed back wheel for PS2, or do you have the PC version of the game? Some time ago I tried a wheel w/ PS1 and I didn't like the feel of it. The wheel was way too sensitive and I couldn't change the setup of the wheel so I returned it (it was probably a cheapy). Therefore, I've always used the regular keypad joystick.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I did a very good lap, got a 1m 11.9 and still working on set ups, I'm glad its closer to 1m 09.562s, but EA's qualifying on Grand Prizx at the A1 RING, had times as much as 1m 08s, best, 1m 06s, so seems they made a mistake on that track.

[A3]

Suzuka 1m35.915

[A3]

Make that 1m35.566

Look at http://www.the-best.racesim.net/ for World Rankings.

[A3]

Suzuka 1m35.423 Can't stop playing !!

[SeanValen]

If anyone could post good A1 Ring times on here, would appreciate it, just need a benchmark to attain too.

My best right now is 1m 10.94.

[Linus27]

Looks like I am going to have to stand my authority at Monaco in this game like I have in GPL. I will return with a killer time:)

[Linus27]

Monaco McLaren 1.27.792

Had a quick 15 laps and that is the best I can do so far but will try some more later. Very difficult indeed, especially controlling the throttle. Very frustrating at first but became great fun and very much a driving experience.

[A3]

Welcome

[Linus27]

Thanks A3.

1m10.142 but the setup needs a lot of work.....

[100cc]

I know I must have something very wrong with the steering setting or something, because I find the game awful.

I use the logitech wingman formula force. Could someone tell me all their sensitivity/etc. settings???

Linus27,

I'm shocked!!!!! A McLaren? I thought for sure you would be driving Alesi's Jordan!!

911

[Linus27]

911

Well, to be honest, I am in a dilema. I hate driving a car that takes a good driver out of the race so I never drive Alesi's Jordan as I want to race him but I do want to drive a Jordan as its my favourite team so I take Trulli's car but then Trulli is a driver I like to race against also so I don't like to take his car either. So to cut a long story short, I usually end up in a Minardi replacing Taso Marques. I am bugged really. Never going to win in a Minardi. Its nice to drive mind, slow but very stable.

the reason I took the McLaren was because its fast. I took the Williams first but itis so twitchy and harder to drive. I will try the Ferrari later as its meant to be very stable and fast.

Austria Ferrari 1.10.958

Been doing a few laps at Austria working on a setup and this is what I have done so far. I never did a perfect lap though. Either braked to early or braked to late and so I guess I can get a 1.08.xx out of this setup with a perfect lap. If anyone wants a copy then email me on,

Mclaren: Hakkinen

Melbourne: 1:25.xxx
Suzuka: 1:30.xxx ( havnt been able to repeat though, closest I've gotten is 1:31.589 )

I got a 1m 10.67, a vast improvment, from my 1m 14m I was doing last week.

I seriously need driving aids of Acceleration set to low, and opposite lock on, otherwise just can't get the sensitity the game requires with my microsoft sidewinder pad. But without opossite lock I'm a half second slower at least.

Ferrari Austria 1.10.687

[A3]

Ferrari Austria 1.09.806 with default setup. Only lowered fuel load.

Used manual gears. I have the feeling that this is much faster than auto gearn as you can downshift early and "brake on the engine". Only have to watch out for locking wheels though.

A challenge! good, so manual gears and default set up, which means I've been wasting alot of time on tyre pressures, cambers, wing, back to basics!

Suzuka 1:34.616


man, i am ecstatic! my previous best had been in the 1:37's, and then i pulled of this one. i had always been fast in the first sector, but i guess i managed a decent second and a pretty fast third sector. my brother, who ALWAYS beats me at racing games only got a 1:36, and after seeing my time he pulled off a 1:34.8. i feel great. to make it even more sweet, my brother said that the first sector at Suzuka is the true test of driver skill. (the sector that Schumacher annihilated everyone in)

my sector 1 time...28.8
my brother's ... 29.1

oh, this is on PS2, btw. also, i did this with the Jaguar. i dont know if there is much difference between cars though?

[orecaviper]

I got a 1:17.836 at Barcelona.

Indy- 1:14.465

and has anyone topped this:

Monaco- 1:17.326!
All times posted on simulation mode with a ferrari.

[A3]

SeanValen, where are you?

Austria 1m08.817

Still the same setup.

[A3]

Awful quiet in here...........

Austria 1.08.245

Starting to tune the setup.

[A3]

Nobody wants to play with me !

Austria 1.07.879

Setup here.

[buddyt]

Just got it this weekend....my times can be measured with an hour glass...but my donuts are getting better just in case I were to ever win a race......The game run well on my machine...all the bells and whistles on when I test, man the shadows of the tree are neat..but have to back the game down to quick race..To me it is almost as much fun as Nascar 4 ...If you miss the first turn at Indy you can drive flat out all around the oval and back to s/f..be back later got to turn the hour glass back over...

[RayB NSX]

myt imes were from the PS2 version on simulation mode with no assists. I found out my lap times were faster in the race due to being able to draft on the straights. Its great to hear the motor top out when drafting. It sound like its about to grenade!

1:25.345 in Australia
1:15.231 in Monza

[Nustang70]

1:33.207 at Suzuka.
with the Jaguar, default set-up and on soft tires. (PS2)

[Nustang70]

can anyone confirm whether there is a noticeable difference in the performance of different cars? (i.e. is the Ferrari any better than the Jaguar?)

[A3]

On the PC version there's a big difference in cars. Don't know about the PS2 version though.

The Ferrari sticks on the road like glue, the McLaren understeers and the Williams has awesome power. The Jag is a dog to drive, very unstable.

[RayB NSX]

Actually on the PS2 the Mclaren understeers quite a bit too. I just thought it was because the physics engine forced you to brake early but now that I read that I'm gonna go and try the Ferari tonite and see how much of a difference there is.
