I assume you mean P001. And I think the P001 is the same as either of the F094 cars.

Why is this ?

I will hopefully own all the colours soon as I recently got my S license but just wondered why you never see them on the net.

The Polyphony001/F094S is the 1994 Benetton as driven by Michael Schumacher. And the reason it's so much more expensive than the F094H (Hakkinen) is that the 1994 McLaren was a s***box.

You are probably the only person to see this because you are wrong.

The F094s is the senna car. If you are making this observation because of the raised nose then take a close look at the F094s. It does not have the raised nose only the Poly001 does.

hes right....the F094/S may have the same paint scheme as the P001, but the nose is lowered like it is in that picture....the F094/s IS the senna car.....

(PAL had to use a random name AND a slightly tweaked body so that nobody could lay a copyright lawsuit on them, but for some reason NTSC was allowed the licensing...therefore we have the correct body shapes ASWELL as the correct names)
 
I will assume that all posts here are serious and I will also assume that people have not used the search function.

The F1 cars in the NTSC version are based on real life examples. They have been given different paint jobs to try and semi hide their identity. We can only assume that this is because Polyphony did not get a licence agreement to include F1 cars.

The specs and shape of the cars in the NTSC version match the real life examples.

In the PAL version Polyphony apparently saw the need to further disguise the appearance of the cars but kept the performance stats the same. Therefore you will not find an exact match appearance wise in the PAL version ie raised nose cone etc.

Oh. Ok. I agree.

For me the F1s add a little novelty. Too easy to get and use to blow away the competition though.

Who cares what colours they are as long as they look good. For me if they are Senna's car or Schumacher's who cares.

Now that I know how the F1s use their tires and have been able to develop a setup that suits my driving style I can blow the competition away in most races with the F1s. Including against the AI F1s.

Laguna and Cote were the only F1 races that were not blowouts for me. Cote due to crashes with AI cars and the loss of power due to oil and Laguna because the AI cars seem to be pretty quick here.

Other than that the F1 cars spend enough time out on the track to lap most other cars between pitstops anyway.

You miss my point, but thats fine... I had looked forward to rubbin tires in the F1 Series, but was too much of a hassel driving a good race only to be beat by a car that never if ever pitted... Minor issue... I race the F1's til the tires go south.. then get back in my Diablo :cheers:

If that is your point then accept the tire wear issue as a challenge. Setup your car better and beat the AI cars. Sure your strategy will not be the same as the AI cars but you can beat them all the same by putting in quick lap times.

The F1 handles fine as is, my point is in the AI, not with the car... Like I stated I'll stick to my Diablo, its glued to the track an nothing can touch it
