don't worry about it mate, the AI are quite stupid at Monaco

Seeing you're quite confident over the kurbs the car shouldn't feel too bad, unlike it did for me (Benetton, wit no assists)

Another race where you can do well is Hockenheim, just run low wings, for better straight-line speed, you can be up to 2 seconds faster than the AI

good luck on ur exams!

anyways I can give you another hint: on Magny-Cours, the AI brake 100m late into the first hairpin, so don't reck your car

they are quite slow on that track because of the turn 4 glitch, you could get a top 5 in quali too

edit:also, I know on one circuit the ai vrake on the start-finish straight, I think it's monza but I forgot

Its the exact same as win 7,
im running Win 8 64bit also i already did all that stuff, admins rights + compatibility stuff

But for i have no idea how alot of guys are running it on win 7 !!!

weird.. I have win 7 64 bit, running in XP SP2 mode with admin rights. I think you also gotta disable user account control if you haven't

Disable user account control
Change the compatibility of executable programs
dConfig.exe>: Compatibility "Windows XP Service Pack 3" and administrator rights
<F1 Challenge 99-02.exe> Compatibility "Windows 98/ME" and administrator rights

It should work now then

It says in the instructions where I read it works for win 8 too

F12 gives you a screenshot (programmed in-game), they will appear in the game folder

ah, those lines on the wheel? Apart from that the game looks okay-ish, don't know if the track looks a bit different because I run it on medium
