I actually viewed Webbers season as Fair. In that crappy Jaguar he did very well considered it's a very poor F1 car. I know Ford has won the most F1 titles with it's cosworth engine but they just gave up on F1. Sad to see Jaguar go though. Jaguar is more a status symbol than a name. Sure they break down alot hence they saying "You need 2 Jags, one for the mechanic, and one for you" but still...

Webber does has a drive this season. In a WilliamsF1 car partnered by Nick Heidfield :D And yeah Jordan has some hotshot indian. It will be interesting to see how he does.

Say TMM I reckon you me and Parnelli Bone should have a fair chat sometime. Got an IM service?

Sorry no IM Service. I only logon here during my lunch @ work, haven't even got IE access from home, in fact I haven't even got my computer @ home!!! Anyway I'm glad that Webber has got a drive for next year, he will hopefully do well @ Williams. Any chance of them challenging Ferrari this year? It is a shame about Jaguar dropping out but it was becoming an embarresment watching them limp round the track. The way the Indians drive he could be a very strong driver.

I am not sure if Jordan will put up a challenge. But if the Indian Jordan driver can average top 10 finishes he may get a drive for next year. Infact that goes for any Jordan or Minardi driver. As with Williams. I doubt they will put up a strong challenge to Ferrari. I just hope they bridge the gap this season.

So that leaves McLaren, do you think they will be a challenge for Ferrari?
 
I used a Trueno in this series. Very remarkable little car, but it bottomed out too often. It liked to go on 2 wheels when it turned. :lol:

Not likely. Williams won't do well and it's not because of Webber. It's just that Both McLaren, Renault and Ferrari started 2005 regulations before most other teams did.

What's a race tranny?

Wow, how long have you been playing GT? :)

The race transmission is the one that has gears you can modify. Haven't you ever bought one of these for a car? It seems roughly under half the cars in GT actually require it cuz their stock trannys are geared all messy.

I thought all the cars stock trannys are geared messy. Especially when the AI drive them.
 
I save different settings for different tracks at times but it only varies ever so slightly. When I load up my game I will write it down for you.

You probly already know this, but you can get away with not using a racing gearbox on a lot of cars. Some of them (like the Corollas...um, I mean Truenos and Levins.) redline too early even before they've got a lot of power...therefore you'll need modifyable gears even before you modify the engine much. But my Viper..I never got a racing tranny for it. Super-close (semi-racing) gears do the Viper just fine for all races in GT1 except the Tuned one.

I'm a cheapskate. If I don't have to mess with a car's gearbox, I won't. I only use racing gears when the car redlines too early down a straight..or to get a better power response thru turns..but I only do this in the most demanding of races, like the GT World Cup or something.

I got race trannies when I bought race mod for my cars. And I still have over 20mil in Credits so I don't think its an issue.
