Oh man the Phoenix track is hard. I made it to the pitstop at lap 14 when I was running out of fuel and then 2 full laps but crashed on Derek Warwick in lap 16 from 9th place. 😁 I practiced it for hours in hotlap before I made the qualifying and race. But this is another amazing season. These truly are masterpieces and the closest thing you can get to a driving a real F1 season. And so few people know about these. Crazy. Thanks again.
Thanks man. Yeah Phoenix is a tough track. I don't always finish the race, either. It's a track where you have to be extremely cautious with overtakes. The only real spot to overtake is in the end of the main straight and the slow corners right after that. If you try to overtake on some other corners crash usually occurs. If you drive cautiously you can definitely finish the race there but it really requires some cool head. Very nice races I've had there. Cheers and have fun!
@@detonator2112 Yes it's just mentally tough to not to try to overtake but in Phoenix it's a wise tactics in those corners. It's a bit different with these than cruising past slow cars in Gran Turimos heheh. I restarted and actually finished the race in 9th place. This is the first time I actually got satisfaction for that and it almost felt like a victory. 😄😄 Great stuff.
@@SimRacer-d1f Yeah it was like the real race. Many DNF's. The best tactics is just to wait for the main straight and try to overtake there. But you have to get really close to the car in front and use slipstream. Sometimes the ai cars make occasional mistakes like Berger did in the preview video. Simply looked like he missed a gear and then you're presented with the opportunity. Patience and cool head are the keys in the street circuits. On the tight corners overtaking is often a big temptation but the risk is too big. You have to play like Prost... don't take stupid risks and collect points from every race... and leave crashing to hotheads like Senna and Mansell. 😁
UPDATE: Sparks added. See the video description! Some video here. They're way more apparent on bumpy tracks like Interlagos though. ruclips.net/video/pFAohDYouEI/видео.html
I suggested to one very well known track creator that he'd do a proper free Phoenix track version. I paid 25 euros for the pay track but it needed a new ai (which is downloadable in the video description). It now runs very good.
That circuit is 1992 version of Hockenheimring which is not accurate layout for the 1990 season. The mod uses Hockenheim 1988. If you have errors, install the champs files again. Maybe there was an error in the previous files. But I double checked now that they're correct. Let me know if that fixed it. Cheers mate.
Amazing work with the season!

I just purchased this. How much does the Phoenix pay track cost and how did you purchase it and how much?

the circuit "asr_owc_1992_round_10" is not there. Please ask for it.
