F1 Championship Season 2000 - Platform: Playstation 2 Tip: You can get much more representative lap times out of the AI cars by turning the wet-weather effects on. The AI drivers tend to drive more consistently in the rain and are less likely to turn some of the unrealistic and physically impossible times that they produce under dry conditions. If you feel a spin coming on--usually preceded by a puff of smoke and a shrill tire-squealing sound in the middle of a sharp turn--get off the gas immediately. The car will often come back to you as long as you don't try to power your way through the spin. The diminutive rearview mirrors (only available from the behind-the-driver roll-bar view) are quite useless for determining how close a competitor's car is. You can get around this by listening for an increase in engine sound from the car behind. If it begins to sound close, then it is probably time to employ the look-back button (L1)
