There are a lot of posts in the forum that could easily of been answered in this thread Might as well make this a mini-FAQ.

I remember this on the 486 dx 2-66. that was probably the optimum speed for it as once I upgraded to a 686 it was 2 quick for the game.[/b]
Definitely not true F1GP uses a fixed frame-rate system. Although this causes problems with things like Internet play, it is simply not possible for the game to run any faster than the fixed frame rate.

the lap records that come with the game are dead easy to beat. and once you master it, even the AI on the highest level is dead easy.[/b]
Set the cars brake balance to front 32 or rear 32 (I can't remember which, but you'll know when it's right, because your braking distances will be vastly slower). Suddenly passing cars isn't so funny anymore

In addition, try using an editor to make the AI cars harder. It can easily be updated so you'd be somewhere near the back of the field Some editors can be found here.... http://www.simracingworld.com/games/2/

How i can put pit stops on? I mean how i can put the others go to pit. Like gas system etc...?[/b]
The other cars will stop during a race. There was no refueling in Formula One in the year 1991, so there are tyre changes only. This means people stop much less

Always changing camera views make me mad! Somebody knows how to control it, please?[/b]
Try using A-Z to accelerate and brake, and <> to steer left and right. The arrow keys control the camera

Guys I have problem with this one... it only wants to play the sound through my PC speaker.. is this the only way? Theres no SB compatability?[/b]
No, there is Sound Blaster compatibility. Try going to the game directory and typing INSTALL. You'll be able to configure the sound there.

Can't get the game to run/suffering problems in the game [/b]
Try using Dosbox. The game runs perfectly inside it Remember you may have to change the frame rate and enable/disable track textures. You'll need to look at changing the cycles in Dosbox too, or just using cycles=max if you use the latest versions.

Hope these help
