Tracks The tracks are listed in the order they appear in the Grand Prix mode. I am not including car settings since that is really up to the driver preference. Experiment with different settings to see what you find best. Tyre choice is really up to the player. Extra pit stop with soft tyres but better handling. Also the pit stops seem to last the same weather you change tyres or not or put in 2 laps worth of gas or 20 laps of gas. -Australia- Fairly easy track with no bumps. Lots of good places to pass. -Brazil- Medium difficultly course with some downhill running. Fast in some places while somewhat slow in others. -Argentina- The turns in this course are little bit harder. Be careful not to accerlerate to early in the turns. -San Marino- Track gets a little narrow in certain places. Again don't accerlerate to early in the turns as that will send into the walls. -Monaco- The hardest track on the circut. Almost impossible to run side by side. Be very careful not to hit the wall while passing. Also be careful on the U-turn that is near the middle of the course, that is a very slow turn. Be careful on the pit exit as it is very narrow. -Spain- -Canada- This course has some sudden right angle turns, but they are not too difficult.Be careful with the U-turn as you tend to ram into the wall often. -France- Be careful not to take to much speed on the two mini turns next to the pit entrance because you may end up hitting the wall on the last turn. -Britain- -Germany- One of the fastest tracks on the circut, be sure not to overshoot the turns because of the sudden turns. Don't take the first turn too fast. -Hungary- -Belgium- On the first turn, take it slow and go to the right as it may seem that it is to the left. -Italy- Really fast track with some sudden turns. Be careful not to overshoot the turns. -Austria- -Luxembourg- -Japan- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VI. Grand Prix Mode Go through the entire Formula 1 season in your quest to become World Champion. Here you will go through 17 races and earn points for not only the Drivers Championship, but also for the Constructors Championship. (If the setting is on Champion, the 107% Rule is in effect. This means when you qualify, your time has to be within 107% of the best time) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VII. Challenge Mode This is one of the coolest things about this game. In the Challenge Mode, you have to get through events that happened in the 1997 F-1 season. There are three different divisions.(In Challenge Mode the game is set on the Professional setting) -Offense- In these events, your goal is to move up in position in the amount of time given. -Defense- Your goal here is to keep your postion and move up if possible. -Trouble- In these events, your car goes through problems such as losing a tire or losing your brakes. -Ultimate- ? ? ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VIII. 2 Player Mode Take on a friend for some friendly competition.(In this mode only two cars are on the track, yours and your competetors) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have any comments or suggestions for this guide, feel free to e-mail me at PiMp4715@aol.com This guide is copyright by me Luis Solis and may not be copied or used for profit without written consent by me.
