YOU CAN TRY THIS NEW TIPS. THIS TIPS LITTLE EXTREME BUT REALLY WORKING IN ALL CAR AND MOST CIRCUIT IN THIS GAME (EXCEPT JEREZ) YOU MUST TURN THE IMPACT PROTECTION OFF. AT THE RACE YOU MUST CRASH YOUR CAR UNTIL YOUR CAR DONT HAVE ANY FRONT WING REMEMBER, DON'T CRASH TOO HARD. MAXIMUM SPEED ALLOWED IS 80 MPH. OR 110 KM/H. NOW, YOUR CAR WILL RUNNING WITH MORE TOP SPEED. I CAN RUN UNTIL 215 MPH WITH FERRARI IN MONZA CIRCUIT MAYBE, YOUR CAR HANDLING WILL BE DECREASED BY 3 POINTS STABILITY WILL DECREASED BY 2 POINTS BUT YOUR TOP SPEED INCREASED BY 4 POINTS. ACCELERATION WILL BE INCREASED BY 3 POINTS BRAKING WILL BE INCREASED BY 2 POINTS GREAT DEAL FOR MAXIMUM SPEED BENEFIT, RIGHT!! ALL CAR WILL FEEL MORE UNDERSTEER THIS FANTASTIC PHENOMENON IS REAL. THE FRONT WING WEIGHT IS LOSS SO THE POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO IS DECREASED THE DOWNFORCE IS LOWER TOO THERE IS NO MORE FORCE IN TO GROUND IN FRONT BIAS THE HANDLING IS MORE LOOSE AND MORE LIKE FLYING THE CAR LENGTH IS DECREASED TOO IN SOME CIRCUIT LIKE MONACO, ALBERT PARK, AND INDIANAPOLIS THE CAR DIMENSION IS VERY REALLY IMPORTANT. THE BIGGER THE CAR, MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE OTHERWISE, THE SMALLER THE CAR, IT IS EASIER TO DRIVE. THIS TIPS AND TRIVIA IS BROUGHT BY MY RACING CLUB IN MY COUNTRY.
