A tip for hotlappers, which keeps split
times always and allow not to make the warm up lap before hotlapping:
As soon as you made your own lap record follow these steps:
* save your hotlap
* return to cockpit
* type A to go to pits
* get new tyres
* get 2 laps fuel
* drive your warm up lap slowly
* when you are not too close to the starting line, just enough to be able
to get maximum speed, type ESC
* save game (not hotlap!)
Now you can load many times this game, to make a new hotlap, and you'll
always have the split times of your best lap when hotlapping. It's interesting
to have them, to compare your driving. You also won't have to drive the
warm up lap any more!
The records in the first table are for the same circuits as in Grand Prix 2, without track changes.Whereas, for example, as the Imola track was modified after 1994, the new records appear in the next table. (in my opinion, the new circuit is less fun...)
The Estoril record was made during 1996-1997 winter, while practicing.
The Barcelona record was made in 1997 by J.Villeneuve, while qualifying.
The Monaco record was made on May 10th by Frentzen, while qualifying (see
the picture at the top).
The Canada record was driven during the last practice session in 1997.
The Jerez record was made on 10th feb 1997 by Gerhard Berger, while practicing.
I heard about a new Magny-Cours record by Panis this winter, but I had
no way to check it...
The swimming pool chicane of Monaco was changed this year, but not enough to consider it as a different circuit...However, if you don't agree, the record for exactly the same circuit as in gp2 is 1'18''560 by Michael Schumacher, 1994.
The Nissan chicane of Barcelona doesn't exist any more.
The acque minerale and variante Bassa chicanes don't exist any more on the Imola circuit.

This is a special challenge for people who want to cheat and have fun.
Driving a 182kg F1 is very funny, just try it once! You can break in about
5 meters... there are absolutly no rules.
If you want to see these laps, you must change the weight setting of your
gp2.exe, using gp2Editor
You can send your lap. I'll check it and print the name appearing on
the hotlap.

Theses pictures were taken from the Monaco
practicing and qualifying sessions in 1997.
I use a Miro DC1 video capture card to have
these pictures from TV
Gerhard Berger, escaping Sainte Devote.
Michael Schumacher, going into the tunnel.
See Jacques Villeneuve's car on the side, which stopped before the tunnel
because of engine issues.
