F1 in GT5 fast and frustrating.

igot my F1 car today, bought it at the used car lot online. 4.8 million what a deal. except for one thing , i cant keep up with nobody, best finish was 6th place . ouch . there like damn spider monkeys coming out of the corners , make one small mistake and 3 guys go by you before you can blink your eyes. im shure i will adapt to the vicious cornering speeds of the formula 1 series. but first impressions are that this is going to be tough going. i rebuilt the motor on the car i bought but it dident help much. let me know if it is as tough for anyone else , or it is just me and i suck, lol it is defenatly a different kind of animal than i have been used to lately, i hope i didnt buy a bum car and wasted my money.

1EJ, see the post FGT pics, some info there.
If you need a set of tunes, e-mail me and i can send a "word" doc.

Try it using the assists, that might help.

Lol,,,I had just brought home the 2nd Gold, Road Course Indy. I went through very same thing you have. Do this, race your F1 till you make approx 935 hp, change oil often or before u entered the race. No traction on Fuji but ABS=3, Indy TC=5, ABS=3.

Good Luck 1Eyed

thx guys, i can use all the help i can get on this one. yea ace i need more power . no matter how i gear it i dont have enough power. getting more smooth on the corners and moving my times up gradually. mabye just more laps could be the answer , and the oil change tip will help as well. thx again .

I use skid recovery too.

I also use the roof (roll bar) camera with the FGT. For me, it helps to see the front wheels when going into corners (plus it's cool to watch the suspension).
