Official Formula 1 Racing Bonus track: ------------ Win the championship to unlock the bonus "Jerez" track (European Grand Prix in Formula 1 '97). Hints: ------ Horrendous wheel spin: ---------------------- The game's horrendous wheel spin modeling means you will almost always lose positions off of the start, no matter how well you feather the throttle. To minimize this, don't let the revs exceed 10,000 RPM when the red lights go out, and don't feed on full power until your speed is more than 60 miles per hour. On a similar note: ------------------ On a similar note, do not apply any gas whatsoever after you spin or slide off the track. You can turn perpetual doughnuts in sixth gear with a half ounce of throttle pressure (even while still on the pavement), so you must be patient and get the car rolling by using only idle-level RPMs. Select the softer compound tires: --------------------------------- Select the softer compound tires (D2 for dry weather, W3 for wet weather) for all races. The wear factor is so minimal that, even in a full-distance race, the tires will probably last at least until the halfway mark. The garage menu: ---------------- Although the garage menu offers some user-friendly car adjustments to experiment with, you don't always need to use it. At many of the tracks, you can generally snatch pole position with the default setups.
