Well, the flaming bananas have come and gone. I just see burned up banana peels, those damn chimps ate those bananas before I got to them, GRRR!!!!. Oh look! I've just made one of the most stupid jokes I've ever done.

HAHA! I laugh at you Leprekaun! you're such a tool!

Sorry lads, just had one of my random moments of insanity, quite rare those so you should appreciate the fact that I will most probably not have one of these till another 40 years.

.Lads, I think I made a big 
of myself. The GP2 car has 600 HP, not the 450 I originally thought it had 
+ F1 spec tyres. Anyway, I just wanted to clear that up . However, the FO8 has ONLY 450 HP while the BF1 has a massive 720 so thats nearly a 300 HP difference which clearly shows down the straights. From what I understand, F1 cars are waay ahead of everything else, thats what makes them so special. I guess there will be some physics updates in patch Y so I'll wait and see what the devs have in store for us .

I guess there will be some physics updates in patch Y so I'll wait and see what the devs have in store for us .Well, the simple logic I go by (even tho I don't really sit around making setups but I'm learning ) is to adjust the final drive (basically the general top speed of the car) to make it so that the car reaches maximum revs down the longest straight in top gear on the course and then I just adjust the gear ratios in between for acceleration or traction. I learned that bit from the lovely GPAEDIA which comes with Grand Prix 4 which has some vids on making setups. So, I got that from a guy called Mark Hemsworth whom I think was an engineer in the Arrows F1 team so he does have credibility.
As for the whole peak torque/peak power thing, from what I read from a book called "Ayrton Senna's Principles of Race Driving", he stated that the best time to shift is a bit after the peak power so that you maximise the speed you get from that gear and when you shift gear, the next gear is at the peak power of the engine, thus giving you much better acceleration. Thats what I've read and seen, don't blame me if they're wrong but I do think they know what they're talking about and it is logical.

but I do think they know what they're talking about and it is logical.Lee, thats an "ok" logic to go by. Reason why I say go off the racing line and let them by because its the simplest way to do it and safest way to do it on a straight. If you were to apply that logic of going wide at the next corner, what happens if the driver behind brakes too late? that is yes, his fault but what I'm saying is that there is more chance of an accident happening in a corner than on a straight.
