2000 French Grand Prix - F1 Challenge '99-'02: The Mendoza Career

[@Box1-lf9hv]

I do have a feeling that Cosworth is the blame on this. They should be replaced by a better engine supplier with reliable engines, though. Even I agree with Mendoza at this point where Jaguar got a double DNF in this race.

Yeah, the fact the race team, design team, and engine team are all doing their own thing separate from each other doesn't really help their case.

You could try using the new F1 challenge overlays for your races

[@jose21crisisMS]

I actually considered using it, but a) My computer is not good enough to run the overlay, play AND record with decent framerate, which is why I record using replay and b) At least prior to the recording of this video, GPerso's overlay didn't work on replays. He's made a version that does work on replays, but it's still not perfect.

What parameters I need to touch to see more overtakes between the AI drivers? You played with max revolutions or you down a bit the rev for the race? You can decrease the revs during the race with a button? About the race, I only can say that it was very similar with the real life one.

[@jose21crisisMS]

I usually just increase Aggression and hope for the best. It really depends on the track whenever you'll see overtakes. AI really need some solid overspeed to be able to pass as well. F1C AI just struggles to pass. I usually play with max revs, but short shift a bit to save the engine. One doesn't really need full revs most of the time in this game, but I use them in case I am in the slipstream and need a bit more speed.

[@JordiGambinSerrano]

Thanks. The problem is that I always play with automatic gears. But I like to play with most revs posible because I don't like when I don't suffer mechanical issues.
