Did you update the game with the 9.6 patch? I remember there was a performance issue with the original release and the field spread was too big. In the patched version the only issue (that I know of) is that Alonso's and Yoong's performances are swapped.

I've never updated the thing with patches or mods, because the computer in my home is so slow and crap it would take geological time periods to download stuff. :oops:

I might have a go on my laptop, though it won't be until Easter at the earliest, as sixth form is top priority.

Not a racing game, but some days ago, after revising for an exam I decided to play some Counter-Strike 1.6. On a match against the CPU, a player called Ron fragged someone called Dennis. It made me chortle. I also had Matt and Mark kill Martin too.

What's fragging?

Internet term for killing an enemy (at least most of the times

) in an ego-shooter or games like that.

Killing. I've no idea where the term came from either.

by **AndreaModa** » 04 Feb 2012, 02:25

Pretty sure its from the term 'frag grenades' where frag was short for fragmentation. Not certain though.

Never been into that kinda thing. Didn't get my first games console under after graduating from my first degree course. And then it was only to play racing games almost exclusively (I also have pool, Monopoly and Who Wants to be a Millionaire?...).

Several years back I downloaded the demo of Colin McRae Rally 2. The first ever stage I ran was at Sweden, and I won.

Bought myself SEGA Rally 2 recently from CEX (basically a pawn shop for games, dvds, electronic/computer equipment, etc) for 50p! It's rather easy, and I do enjoy how you can race a Stratos against an Impreza, it's like a 'best of' of rally cars!!

Another hilarious game in my awful PC racing games collection is a game called GT-R 400 which again I got for next to nothing at CEX, and resembles a load of 3 lap dashes around fictional tracks in either a Mosler or an Ascari! I'm thinking Sammy Jones might take a break into the sportscar world at some point during his career possibly!

Which reminds me, could anyone recommend a decent sportscar simulation game that I could try and run a championship off? It needs to be a PC game, and pretty old, I wouldn't say newer than about 2004 else my laptop won't deal with the graphics?

While I haven't played it in ages, I highly recommend GTR2 although I don't know if it would fry your laptop or not.

I remember buying Total Immersion Racing in 2003/4 while I was living in France (the game is in English!). Not sure about a championship, but it definitely has a career mode, a bit like TOCA.

No I didn't know there was any!

Cheers for those suggestions by the way guys, a quick look on ebay shows I can pick up Total Immersion Racing for less than a bus ticket so I think I might be going for that one!

Considering the ridiculously low price I think I might buy a copy as well! £1.99 brand new is rather hard to resist.
Also available brand new on eBay for a grand total of 99p...Ford Racing. I have this actually, it's not as bad as the price may suggest. It's by no means a great game, but, it is quite varied in terms of tracks and the models of Ford available. Oval racing with the Ford Taurus, dirt racing with the Focus WRC & RS2000 WRC, circuit racing, street racing, it has all of it.

If anyone wants a copy;
Total Immersion Racing

I finished 5th at the 1990 Italian Grand Prix in F1 Challenge 99-02. In a Coloni. On 120% difficulty. Roberto Moreno was 6th in an EuroBrun :lol:

A couple of days ago, I finished a dry, 50% run at Monaco with the 1993 mod for F1 Challenge 99-02. I thought I'd have a decent challenge, against Schumacher and Senna and Prost, but they all retired! Only two drivers made it to the end, Brundle and me, with me winning! Was quite strange, but I did get a battle with Senna at least for around 10 laps before he slammed it into the wall.

Worth mentioning I was in a McLaren, though. Who knows what would happened if I was using one of the lower cars!

Tomas Enge finished 4th at Hockenheim on GP4.

by **WaffleCat** » 25 Jun 2012, 22:35

I remember having to pull into the pits at Imola in GP4 after damaging practically everybody's front wing after a small mistake on the opening lap at Variante Alta.Enge was ahead of me,but was going extremely slow,about 30 mph into the pits.I could not brake in time,but barely touched his back wheel.Result:Enge goes flying at 90 mph into the pit wall and rebounding into Half Schumacher on the back straight,ending both of their races.

Xkoranate also simulates Football, and I've decided to simulate an alternate Bundesliga from its very first season on. And here are my champions so far:

1963/64: VfB Stuttgart
1964/65: Preußen Münster
1965/66: Preußen Münster
1966/67: MSV Duisburg
1967/68: Rot-Weiß Essen
1968/69: FC Bayern München
1969/70: Hertha BSC Berlin
1970/71: Kickers Offenbach

And some further notes:
- The 1.FC Köln ended up three times on second place!
- Hertha BSC Berlin had the same points as second places MSV Duisburg, yet won the championship because their goal difference was better by one (!) goal.
- Notable clubs that suffered from relegation: Borussia Dortmund (In 63/64); Borussia Mönchengladbach (In 66/67); Eintracht Frankfurt; 1.FC Kaiserslautern (Both in 67/68); Werder Bremen and Preußen Münster (In 68/69) and Rot-Weiß Essen (In 69/70).
- And since I don't simulate the second division, it may take a very long time before one of the clubs from above makes it back to the Bundesliga, because I always use the promoted teams as they were in real life (Which may decrease the chances for Münster (They never made it back to the Bundesliga after their RL relegation in '64) or Mönchengladbach (They never got relegated until 1999). Although one of them may randomly re-enter when there is a team missing.

This happened in Formula One 2003 on the PlayStation 2.

The season was crazy. But I did mix it up a bit by crashing people out on tracks in which it was possible. Therefore the many winners.

Drivers who won that season were M. Schumacher, Barrichello, Montoya, R. Schumacher, Raikkonen, Coulthard, Alonso (Me), Trulli, Button and JOS bathplug BOSS VERSTAPPEN (in Nurburgring).

Coulthard won the title with 65 points in Suzuka. 6 drivers were in contention in the final race.

Formula One 2004 was incredibly buggy, with annoying non-responsive controls. Sometimes, if the AI cars were due to make a pitstop, they'd suddenly slow to a complete stop at random points around a track for a second or two. Bloody annoying.

I was doing a career mode on said game a few years back. I was in my second season with Minardi, having started racing halfway through the first season. I had picked up a few points finishes, but I was an absolute rubbish qualifier, and after a poor start to the second season, Minardi told me to improve my performance at Imola, otherwise I'd be demoted back down to test driver. Having completely mucked up my flying lap, putting me in 20th and last place, I put in a barnstorming performance (helped by Imola being my best track) and won the race comfortably. But because I messed up in qualifying, Minardi promptly demoted me to test driver! I deleted my career in anger straight after. :evil:
