I tried using the Stream and I even had the horsepower bumped up all the way with mods. My tires were melting down though with the race mediums, maybe i should switch to race hards? also the thing had no power at lower rpms at all.

Not that I need it but I noticed they don't have the separate manual on tuning the ride. I don't think they had it for part 3 neither but boy was it handy in part 1.

man, I tried Formula GT champhionship last nite... first race (out of 15) is 60 laps @ Tokyo... I'm like wtf... I'm just back from work, wanna chill out and relax a little, not run 60 laps of hardcore F1 concentration @ Tokyo... yeah I'm Bspec'ing this. Won pretty easily so I'm thinking damn, I'll just keep doing this, ain't too bad. Yeah next race is 127 laps @ Super Speedway... I'm like pshhhh... done. Yeah I guess I should have set gearing to top speed, because 10 laps into it I'm losing bad. Anyway, that is a hardcore series... you get 3mil and an F1 car... forgot how much you get per race.

The F1 Championship in GT3 was a nightmare for me............


I still have flashbacks of red tires, squealing, and another F1 car flying into the sand trap for some reason

That was a long ass night

Not the strategy guide. They gave you a manual with the game.

The only Democrat in Bush’s incoming Cabinet, Norm Mineta was President Clinton’s commerce secretary for the last six months of his presidency. Mineta represented the Silicon Valley area of California in the House for 21 years. While in office, he served as the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Mineta resigned his House seat in 1995 to take a job with Lockheed Martin, the defense contractor that also supplies building and road construction materials and parts for commercial airlines. His campaign contributors included Northwest Airlines, United Airlines, Greyhound, Boeing and Union Pacific. These companies, and virtually all others in the transportation sector, experienced hard times after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks hurt business and forced them to invest more than ever in safety and security measures. Many transportation industries, particularly the airline industry, lobbied for and received government assistance or tax breaks following the attacks.
