How To Download Grand Prix 4 PC Game
It’s easy, you can see tutorial HERE, it same for all games
Hi,
My name is Geoff Crammond and if you’re reading this, it probably means that you’ve bought Grand Prix 4. Thanks!
Grand Prix 4 is the latest evolution of the Grand Prix series, which I started writing over 10 years ago. Machines and techniques have changed a lot since then. For example, the sheer scale of the project has increased enormously. Over 60
the game since Grand Prix 3 was released in 2000!
With Grand Prix 4, you’ll see a huge leap forward in the look of the game, with the
inclusion of a new graphics engine specially designed to use all the power of modern graphics hardware support. And for the first time we use actual GPS survey data to make the racetracks as accurate
as possible – the same road layout, width, height, gradient and camber, as well as the
But some things stay the same
– as always our endeavour is to produce something that is as authentic as possible, while still being as playable as possible. We hope that as you take
the chequered flag after winning an exhilarating and exhausting race, you’ll agree that - like it says on the box - nothing gets closer!

THIS MANUAL
This manual is structured in such a way as to introduce the game to rookie players and to encourage them to delve deeper to get the most out of the real simulation. If you’re a Grand Prix 3 veteran you’ll be familiar with the basic controls and could probably get racing quite quickly, but be aware that there are differences between Grand Prix 3 and Grand Prix 4 so you’ll find it very worthwhile reading the manual to understand all the
simulation controls.
THE README FILE
Note that this manual will guide you through most of the Grand Prix 4 simulation but due to printing constraints may not contain the most up to date information. For all last minute information you are advised to consult the Readme file found on the CD (selected by clicking on View Readme in the Program group).

GETTING STARTED
ONE LAP OF MONZA FOR ROOKIE DRIVERS
•Install and load Grand Prix 4 as explained previously. After the opening animations, you will
be given the choice of Main Menu, Quickrace, Quicklaps or
Gpaedia. Use Quickrace if you want a quick blast of Grand Prix 4. But for the purposes of this tutorial guide…
• Click on Main Menu.
For the duration of this
Quickstart tutorial, you will be
racing under your own name.
You just need to select a team to race for and rename one of its drivers.
•Click on the Driver panel to go to the Driver Select screen.
•In the Teams panel, one of the drivers is already selected (the number is highlighted). Click on the driver’s name to deselect.
•Highlight your preferred driver name and click on Edit Names.
•Type in your name (or the name you want to race under) and click on OK.
You are now Driver 4, racing for the Ferrari team. Your team’s badge now appears in the background of the screen. From this screen you can also access your individual Car Setup options and save the driver names. But for this tutorial, simply click OK and you’ll return to the Main Menu screen. The name you typed in will be shown as the Driver. Monza has been chosen as the track where you’ll have your shakedown test.
•Click on the Track panel and you’ll be taken to the Track screen. A list of the 2001 Championship Season tracks appears on the left.
•Click on Italy then select OK to return to the Main Menu.
Italy now appears in the Track panel. Now choose the kind of race you want.
•Click on the Race Type panel and select Practise.
•Click OK to return to the Main Menu. The preparations are over. It’s time to drive!
•Click on the Drive button. You’ll see a Weather screen that details the Current Track and Sky conditions and the Forecast chance of rain.
•Click OK to start your first practice session.
You’re now sitting in the Ferrari cockpit in the pits at Monza. As with any test session, it’s now time to check the instruments and controls…
• Below the LCD screen on the steering wheel is a row of nine lines. Each corresponds to a Driving Aid designed to help you control the car. Keys F1 to F9 turn each of these on and off. In Rookie mode, all lights should be on with the exception of Launch Control (F9) which will only be on as default at the start of a race. If they’re not, press the relevant F key. Suggested Gear (F6) is not needed for this session. With the Driving Aids activated, you won’t have to worry about changing gear
or braking: this will be done automatically and all basic steering around the circuit will also be assisted. You may crash if you stray from the racing line, but your car will not be damaged. If you spin off the track, the car will right itself once it has come to rest and face the right direction so you can get on with the session.
• Now check the Monza track plan below…
• Find the Start/Finish line and then run your eye clockwise around the course until you come back to the Finish line. Check where the pit lane joins the track so you’ll know exactly when you’ll be on the actual racing track. Memorise the track plan so you can anticipate what the corners will be like. As you improve your racing skills and become more experienced, you’ll realize just how important knowing each circuit will be to your success.
Your car is still on its jacks in the garage.
• Select the Leave the Pits option on the LCD, using the Throttle and Brake controls, then press the Gear Change button. The car will come down off its jacks and you’ll see a new LCD screen appear on the central steering wheel panel.
•Now slowly squeeze the accelerator… Your car will begin to move forward (if it doesn’t, check that you’ve pressed F2 and that the second symbol on the Driving Aids display is lit).
•Steer out from your pit garage and drive down the pit lane. Remember that in race conditions, you’ll need to stick to the pit lane speed limit of 50mph/80kph. If you want to pause the simulation at any point, press key P (or Space if you are driving with a Joystick, Wheel or a Joypad). Press P again to reactivate. During this session, pause as many times as you feel you need to, so that you can study the track plan and anticipate what’s coming next. As you steer out of the pit lane, join the main track, keeping on the inside of the broken yellow line. Once on the circuit proper, the yellow line will be replaced by a long broken white line.
•Try to keep the middle of the steering wheel lined up with the broken white line as you progress around the circuit. This white line is the Best Driving Line Driving Aid (F5): the quickest possible line into and out of bends without spinning off the track. At some point before the first bend, you should, see a white sign with a black arrow bending to the left, then countdown marker signs with 200 and 100. These signs show how many metres remain before the approaching
•This is a good spot to pause the simulation and check the Monza track plan again: The first bend at Monza turns to the left and is followed by a sharp right. Next is another
•Find the Prima Variante on your track plan and examine the next bend, the Curva Grande.
This is what Formula One racing is all about: being aware of the next part of the course and making sure you are properly prepared to drive through it. Only by knowing what lies ahead can you optimise the line you take through each corner.
•Reactivate the simulation by pressing P or the Space bar.
•Steer carefully around Variante Goodyear (don’t try to go too fast) - left then right, along a short straight and left and right again. Try to follow the broken line even though it sometimes appears to be aiming away from the track. If you do leave the track at any time, steer back towards it (this might be slippery on grass or gravel) to get back on the tarmac. If you have spun and are facing the wrong way (and you still have the
•See how the ideal racing line takes you out of this last corner, using the whole width of the track and taking you over to the left side of the road, ready for the approach to the long sweeping
•Continue along the straight and go under the bridge. Just after the bridge is a left turn.
•Press pause and have another look at the track plan. This left turn is the first part of the Variante della Roggia: another chicane. Check how this looks and imagine how you will drive through it.
•Now look ahead on the plan to the next three bends and try to imagine what they will look like from the cockpit.
•Press the pause button again to continue.
•Steer through the chicane and on through the next two right hand curves (Lesmo 1 and Lesmo 2). You’ll now face a long, downhill straight.
•Accelerate! As you’re moving, glance at the gear indicator (the red number in the centre of the wheel display) as the car changes gear automatically. Listen to the sound of the engine and watch the rpm indicator lights as the gears change up and down. Get used to glancing quickly at the displays and the mirrors as you’re travelling at speed. At the end of this straight is an unusual chicane called the Variante Ascari. Pause, check your track plan, analyse and memorise, reactivate the game and drive through the corners, following the ideal racing line. The more you can commit to memory, the easier the corners will be to drive through at speed.
•Accelerate along the straight and see if the automatic gear change will take you into top gear (6th or 7th) before the
•Keep following the broken white line. You’re now back on the start/finish
straight: the Rettifilio Tribune.
•Accelerate at full speed. You’ll see the starting grid - the spaces where the cars line up for start of the race - and a thick solid white line across the track that marks the end of this lap.
•As you cross the line, you’ll be starting your first flying lap: the timer on your cockpit lap time display will start. You can pause the game at any time to
•When you complete your first flying lap, check your time and try another lap to see if you can beat your previous time.
CONTROLLING YOUR OWN BRAKES
Although the
•Press F1 and check that the
Keyboard : Brake = Z
Joystick : Brake = Back
CONTROLLING YOUR OWN GEARS
•When you’re ready to try controlling your own gears, stop on a straight part of the circuit and press F2 to cancel the
•Now press F6 to activate the Suggested Gear Driving Aid we left off earlier in the session. The corresponding icon will light up on the display. You’re now in control of ALL gear changes, but to guide you, when you see a number in the Suggested Gear panel, that will be the gear to be in as you go into the NEXT corner. Check the gear change method for your choice of controller:
Keyboard : Change Up a gear = Accelerate A key + Space Change Down a gear = Space
Joystick : Change Up a gear = Accelerate + Press Fire Button Change Down a gear = Press Fire Button
Note: If you have separate buttons for gear changes then you do not need to accelerate to change up.
•Practise gear changing up and down and watch the red gear indicator.
•Try to get into neutral (N) and then accelerate. The engine will rev and make a highpitched noise.
• Blip the accelerator and look at how the revs rise on the digital rev counter, then select first gear BUT keep the
revs up - not too much power otherwise the car may spin. The ‘1’ on the red gear change indicator in the centre will appear, showing that you’ve successfully selected 1st. You’ll start moving forward…
•Listen to the change in engine tone and watch your speed rise on the mph/kph indicator.
•Accelerate away and watch the rpm indicator lights illuminate as the revs increase. When the red light appears at the end of the set of green lights, change up to second gear (you’ll see a ‘2’ on the display).
•Try changing up as far as fourth gear, then try changing down before a corner by taking note of the Suggested Gear indicator.
Note: You don’t have to be braking when changing down, but you must not be accelerating. Your car has six or seven forward gears, neutral (N), and reverse (R). If you are in reverse, accelerate to move backwards (just like in a real car).
DRIVING INTO THE PITS
Once you’re familiar with the Monza circuit and the basic car controls, practise driving back into the pits.
•At any point during the lap before you want to come in, press the Return key to let your pit crew know you’re going to come into the pits. The pit signal on your instrument panel will light up in green, giving you the ‘all clear’ to come in. If the pit signal is red, this means that your crew are busy with the other team car. Do another lap before trying again.
• Drive slowly into the pit lane keeping on the inside of the broken yellow line. The simulation will then ‘direct’ you into the correct bay, and the pitcrew will push your car back into the garage. As your car is jacked up by your crew, a Pit Options menu will appear on your cockpit LCD allowing you to add Fuel, change Tyres, Leave the Pits or go to the Car Setup Options. Use the A/Z keys or joystick Up/Down to select the option you want from your cockpit LCD menu.
Note: Grand Prix 4 features extremely detailed Car Setup Options, ranging from Basic to Advanced (Level 1) and Advanced (Level 2). To enjoy the simulation to the full, you can learn much more about setting up the car for the track conditions later in the manual.
REFUELLING
•First select the Fuel option from your cockpit LCD menu.
•Use your left/right steering control to alter the amount of fuel (in laps) to be taken on board.
•Press the space bar or the joystick fire button to quit the Fuel menu.
TYRES
•Select Tyres from your cockpit LCD menu. The cockpit LCD will show your available sets of tyres with the amount of laps completed on each set. At the top of the LCD is the tyre type.
•Select using the A/Z keys or joystick Up/Down. Switch tyre type using the
left/right controls. When you select Tyres on the LCD you will see three tyre sets marked 0, three tyre sets marked r1, r2, r3, three tyre sets marked q1, q2, q3 and one set marked qr. The 0 sets are for practice. The ‘r’ tyres are the sets allocated for the race (r1 starts the race, r2 being used at the first pitstop etc.) but you can also use these sets in practice if you have used up the other 0 sets. The q sets are reserved for qualifying sessions with the exception of the one qr set which can be used in qualifying and race.
Note: A tyre set comprises of 4 tyres. Be aware that there are different tyre sets for different conditions: two types of Dry – Hard and Soft and four types of wets – Intermediate, Hard, Soft and Monsoon, and that before
you begin your qualifying sessions you will have to decide what type of Dry tyres you are going to race on during the rest of the race weekend
•Press the spacebar or the joystick fire button to exit the Tyres option.
LEAVING THE PITS
When you’re ready to leave the pits, highlight this option on the LCD, press the spacebar or fire button and the jacks will be lowered. You can now drive out of the garage and down the pit lane (remember the speed limit!) and
CAR SETUP OPTIONS
Select Car Setup Options from your cockpit LCD menu.
•This will take you to the Car Setup screen. First of all change from the default track setup (which you cannot edit) to the user selected setup where you'll be able to adjust all the basic options for your car: Front Wing, Brake Balance, Rear Wing, Gear Ratios and Pitstop Strategy. The Car Setup Options screen also gives you access to all the Advanced Setup options (Levels 1 and 2). For details on all these, see The Car Handling Section on page 22.
•Press OK to return to the Pits Options screen.
•Press Return to Cockpit to get back to your car.
•Press the Esc key to open the Practice menu.
•Select Leave Practice to return to the Main Menu screen. Now you can try to get a good qualifying lap time and enter a race at Monza (you should know the track quite well by now). This will be a
A TIMED QUALIFYING SESSION
•From the Main Menu screen, click on the Race Type panel.
•Click on the
•Click on the Drive button and you’ll be taken to the Italian Grand Prix menu screen.
•Select Qualifying. The Track and Sky conditions and
Weather screen will appear. If it’s raining, you’ll want to fit special tyres for wet conditions. These wet tyres vary depending on whether it’s a light drizzle, rain or very heavy rain (monsoon). Remember, you can also do this from within the cockpit (in a pitstop) if race conditions change during a race.
•Click OK. You’ll now be taken to the Pits, but this time, a ‘telemetric’ monitor will appear in front of your cockpit. This lists all drivers in the qualifying session, with your name highlighted. Ideally, you should still be in Rookie difficulty level and have all your Driving Aids (F1 to F8) switched on - you’re free, of course, to deselect one or more of them.
Check your tyres. You will see that qualifying tyres q1, q2, q3 and qr are available plus seven sets of the four wet types.
Note: Once you go to qualifying the Dry tyre choice (Hard or Soft) in Car Setup screens is fixed for the rest of the race weekend. Wet tyres will always be available however. Don’t adjust anything on the car at the moment. When you’re ready, set off on your first qualifying session.
•Press the spacebar (or the fire button in joystick control) and the telemetric monitor will swing out of the way and your car will lowered off its jacks.
•Using the experience you gained in the earlier session, drive away from the pits and complete a lap. Remember, you won’t be timed until you cross the
start/finish line for the first time. As soon as you do, the lap timer in the panel below the LCD will be triggered and your time for that lap will be displayed when you next cross the start/finish line. The time remaining in the qualifying session is shown on the LCD in your steering wheel.
•When you have logged two lap times, return to the pits. (You can either drive around to the pit lane entrance or hit SHIFT + Q to jump back to the pits.)
•Once you are in your garage, your car will be raised on its jacks and the monitor will appear once again in front of you showing practice times so far
– the four nearest to your times and the current pole. You can now change the qualifying tyre set by selecting Tyres and using the left/right control.
Now you can view the other cars with Pit monitor.
Press N to put on laptimes of the other cars.
Press again, it turns it off.
Note: Qualifying tyres are only good for a limited amount of laps and the fresher they are the more effective they are. You can now alter the setup of your car by selecting the Car Setup Options on the LCD display. If you’re still new to Formula One car setups, stick to the default settings of Grand Prix 4.
•If you want to speed up the qualifying session, select the fast forward symbol (>>) in the cockpit LCD menu.
•If you ever want to exit the session before the end, press Esc and select Abandon Qualifying. No time will be logged and you will start the race from the back of the grid. When time is up, the Qualifying Over screen will
appear. You can choose to View Full Session Times, or go to the Options screen (where you can alter Controls, Driving Aids, Race Options, Graphics, Sound, Save or Exit the game) or Continue with the
•When you click on the Continue button, you’ll have the option of a
•When Race is selected, you will see
•Click on the control buttons to find your name and car, then click OK. Again, the track, sky and weather conditions will appear on the screen, but this time, you’ll also be given the option to make Last Minute Changes such as altering
Pitstop Strategy, Tyre Choice (for instance, if the weather has changed radically) and full Car Setup Options (at all 3 levels).
•Click OK when you’re ready to race.

You’re now on the starting grid at Monza – somewhere between a
•When the red lights go out, the race is on! The most dangerous moment of the race, yet also the best chance to make up places on the grid, be prepared to jostle for position as you head for the first corner. Be extra careful when you approach the braking area and be prepared to take evasive action to avoid touching other cars. If you’ve selected Driving Aid F4, you’ll be indestructible but you might still be slowed and perhaps pushed off the track by other cars.
As you race, keep checking the cockpit display for:
•Your position = P
•The lap you are currently on = L
•The fuel left in tanks (in laps) = F
•Your water temperature = T
It’s best to choose a moment on one of the straights to carry out these checks.
Pitstops
If the Pits Indicator (cockpit lower right) turns green, you’re being called into the pits by your crew for a planned pitstop (to change tyres and refuel) or for an unplanned pitstop to repair damage. Drive into the pits as soon as you complete the current lap. If you want to cancel this order, press Return and the light will go out. Similarly if you decide you want to pit, press Return and the green Pit Indicator will light (press Return again to cancel).
Flags
At the side of the track, you may see race marshals waving different flags at the drivers: YELLOW means NO OVERTAKING – there’s probably been a spin or accident on, or near the track. Do not overtake. When you see a marshal waving a GREEN flag, the yellow flag order has been cancelled – continue all out racing! RED means stop racing immediately. BLUE means a faster car is trying to overtake you. The cockpit has flag warning LEDs to show which of the main flags are in force. Throughout the race, you’ll be given information about who is achieving the fastest laps.
Pulling Out
If you ever want to leave the race at any time press the Esc key. A menu screen will appear: if you select the Leave race option, you can Save the game (see below) and then return to the Main Menu.
Saving the Game:
You can save the race at any point. Here’s how:
•Press Esc to freeze the race and access the Race menu.
•Select the Options button.
•Click on Save to go to the Save Game screen.
Note: The Option panels allow you to change the Path and Drive on your computer, but leave these as default for now.
•Click on Filename and name your saved game ‘Monza1’.
•When you have named the saved game, click on OK and you’ll get a confirmation that the game is saved. If you return to this Saved Game screen, you will see Monza1.ran in the file/directories panel. If you select this file and look at the information panel (bottom right), you’ll see detailed information about this specific save:
•Click on the Cancel button to return to the Options screen.
•Click on the Back button to return to the Race screen.
•Click on Return to Cockpit to return to the race (the game will be paused when you return to the cockpit).
•Press P to resume the race.
Finishing the Race
• Keep racing until you see the chequered flag waved over the start/finish
line or you see a ‘Race Over’ message. You will then be taken to the Race Results screen.
This screen allows access to a number of screens showing extensive race information:
-Full Race Results Driver Race Points
-Driver Best laps Constructor Race Points
-Circuit Records Lap Chart
-Starting Grid
•Click on the Continue button and you’ll be taken to the Race Completed screen. This gives you the option to Race Again On This Circuit or to Leave the Circuit (return to
Main Menu). By now you will have seen just how different it feels to race compared to the practice and qualifying sessions. The big difference, of course, is the proximity of other cars and the competitive attitude of the other drivers - some are aggressive, others take chances, all have a real passion to win.
WINNING THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
If you have followed the Quickstart guide up to now, you should know the Monza circuit pretty well, but winning a World Championship means acquiring intimate knowledge of all 17 tracks on the calendar. If you undertake a Championship Season, you’ll be entered into the 2001 championship and race on all the tracks in the correct sequence – it’s hard work and there are no easy answers except practice and defining the correct car set up. You can win the World Championship in Grand Prix 4 even at the lowest level starting with all eight Driving Aids turned on (F1 to F8) and with the opposition on their lowest performance level. Then, as you progress through the season, you can begin to turn off some of the Driving Aids, but if you do win the Championship, it will still only be at the lowest level. To win the Championship at the highest Ace Level, you’ll need to drive with just the Ace Level Driving Aids on for the complete duration of the season.
COCKPIT CONTROLS
Packed into the confines of a typical Formula One car is a wealth of information designed to help the driver extract the best performance from his machine, to work out his race strategy and keep an eye on the opposition. Knowing how to use this information and acting on it in a fraction of a second can mean the difference between winning and losing. You’ve
had a taste of racing, but now it’s time to delve a little deeper into the cockpit and its many secrets.

F9 = Launch control
Form of clutch control to help provide traction for rear wheels during the start of the race. This is only on at the start of the race and will switch itself off. You may turn it back on during the race but run the risk of burning out your clutch.
DRIVING AIDS AND DIFFICULTY LEVELS
The number of Driving Aids available varies with each Difficulty Level.
OPPOSITION SPREAD
The Opposition Spread indicator displays your chosen performance distribution among the other drivers. You can set up racing Opposition Spread by accessing Main Menu > Options, > Race Options screen.
A flat line means all teams and drivers have the same potential performance.
A rising line simulates 2001 performances for all drivers and teams.
A wavy Line represents a random distribution of performance for all drivers and teams.
RPM INDICATORS
These two banks of five LEDs will light up as your revs increase and guide you as to when to change up or down a gear. The final LED on each bank is red: when this lights up, change up a gear; when all the lights go out, change down a gear. Like a conventional rev counter measuring revs per minute (rpm), the LCDs tell you at
what speed your engine is spinning when in a particular gear. Keeping within the limits of the LCD scales will help you to change up a gear at the right time, avoid hitting the rev limiter (a device designed to prevent engine damage due to
Should you be racing from any of the external on board camera views, you will see an analogue rev counter displayed in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. You current gear is shown in the middle of this counter.
GEAR INDICATOR
This tells you what gear you are currently in. There are, depending on the car you are driving, either 6 or 7 forward gears (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), Neutral (N), and Reverse (R).
FLAG WARNING LIGHTS
These two sets of three flag warning lights indicate the current colour flag in force, if any (yellow flag – no overtaking, blue flag – car trying
to overtake). If all six are flashing, look at your instruments or read the message on the LCD.
Should you be racing from any of the external on board camera views, you will see the track marshalls waving the flags all around the track.
DRIVER STATUS INDICATOR
This shows the car is being driven by a player.
SUGGESTED GEAR INDICATOR (F6)
If the F6 Driving Aid is on, you will see a small number here telling you what gear you should be in before the next bend. This is an ‘intelligent aid’ and the suggestion will vary depending on the car setup you have chosen.
DAMAGE INDICATOR
This diagram will highlight any faulty or damaged parts on the car. If any section is lit and you can still drive the car, make your way back carefully to the pits where the damage will be repaired.
PITS INDICATOR
This gives you the current status of your
Off – No pits request in force.
Green – You’ve been called in to the pits by your team (press the Return key to cancel this order).
Green – You’ve warned your team you’re coming in to the pits (by pressing the Return key).
Red Cross – Your pit crew are currently busy with your other team car. Stay out. Press the Return key to inform your crew of your intention to pit. Press again to cancel.
LCD DISPLAYS
The central steering wheel LCD shows a lot of important information, depending on what you are doing at any given stage of the Grand Prix weekend.
During Qualifying/Practice:
Time to go – The amount of time in minutes and seconds left to complete this part of the qualifying session.
Car – Your car number.
Runners – The number of cars on the track.
Split/Best – Your best lap time or split time.
During the Race:
XX Lap Race – The number of laps in the race.
Car – Your car number.
Runners – The number of cars on the track.
You will also receive split time information and nearest rival details.
Split Times
Has come together with the most dependable and beneficial attributes which keep your Windows protected. This program built like that of those assets on precisely the same engine. https://camnarethis.tistory.com/5. For procuring this program is not, but it’s upgraded you.
On each circuit, there are two intermediate timing points in addition to the start/finish line. During practice, a ‘split’ time is shown on the LCD as you do a timed lap. This is a time you are trying to beat at the next intermediate timing point. The split times come from the best lap time you have achieved so far. As you cross the
intermediate timing point, you will see a new time displayed. If this has a minus symbol, you know that you have put in a faster time. During a race, a timed gap is shown on the LCD a little time after you cross the Start/Finish line. This shows the time difference between your car and the one behind and the one in front.
PITSTOP CONTROLS
Qualifying
The LCD shows Tyres, Fuel, Leave the Pits, Car Setup and (if in the middle of a session) >> Accelerate Time
All tyres are marked with the number of laps driven on them.
Race
The LCD shows Fuel Laps + /- and Stops to Go
Pit Strategy
In the basic Car Setup screen there is a Pitstop Strategy panel that can be set to Automatic or Custom. Automatic will allow the computer to set a ‘sensible’ strategy based on race length and conditions. Custom allows you to set your own choice from None, 1 Stop, 2 Stops or 3 Stops. The bar graphs indicate a percentage and a lap of the race that you will stop at. Just before you enter a race, a Last Minute Changes button (shown on the Weather > Conditions screen) allows you to alter the Pitstop Strategy, Car Setup (and Tyre Choice) taking into account track conditions. Your “Come into the Pits” warning light (green) will come on as you cross the finishing/start line of the lap before you stop. Remember that you must go into the pits next time you pass the pit lane (or cancel the call by pressing Return).
CAMERA VIEWS
You’re not limited to the cockpit view in Grand Prix 4. The simulation allows you to access a large number of other camera views. And if you’ve just pulled off a breathtaking overtaking manoeuvre or want to review a spin to see just what went wrong, you can select the replay option.

CAR HANDLING
INTRODUCTION
Anyone can drive a Formula One car fast. It’s easy. You get in and point it in a straight line with your foot down hard on the throttle until you reach maximum revs in 6th gear. And there you are. Going fast. Only there aren’t many Formula One tracks that consist of just one long straight. Drive too fast on most tracks and you’ll end up in the first gravel trap. Which is why professional drivers talk about being ‘quick’ rather than being simply ‘fast’ – ‘quick’ is the controlled application of speed around a race circuit. In order to drive a Formula One car ‘quickly’ you need three things:
•A fast car.
•Knowledge of the best route around the circuit.
•The ability to operate the car at its limits. But what do we mean by these things and how are they achieved?
A fast car is generally one with a relatively
exactly the same and so their optimum setups may differ. What’s more, it’s always possible to improve your driving style and/or setup in order to find more speed, even if it’s only improving a lap time by a 1000th of a second! Discovering how to operate the car at its limits is a challenging and rewarding process. And this is where it starts!
BASIC CAR SETUP
The only way you will succeed at the highest levels in Grand Prix 3 is to get involved in ‘setting up’ your car for each specific track. For now, we’ll concentrate on trying out a few things on just one track, beginning with the Basic Car Setup. The basic Car Setup option is available from various menus in the game, including the cockpit LCD display. From the Main Menu…
•Select a Practice session.
•Select Italy for the purpose of this demonstration.
•Select Drive and you will be placed in your car cockpit in the pits at Monza. Then, from the cockpit LCD display…
•Select Car Setup on the cockpit LCD and you will be taken to the Pits Options screen.
•Select the Car Setup button and you will be taken to the basic Car Setup screen. You’ll see three options:
1.Basic Car Setup lets you…
•Alter the angle of the front and rear wings.
•Alter the brake balance.
•Alter your gear ratios.
•Alter your pitstop strategy.
•Create different setups for qualifying and racing.
•Create a different setup for each individual circuit.
•Load and save your setup for the each and every track.
•Load and save your setups for different weather conditions.
•Do all of the above for each and every driver.
Other Basic Car Setup options also allow you to View Other Track details and to Copy The Setups From another track.
2. Advanced Car Setup which lets you…
…have more
3. Inspect Vehicle which lets you…
..look at the degree of plank and tyre wear. More about this later. As in all things, your first tentative steps may seem daunting. Don’t worry. So long as you’ve spent enough time enjoying the default settings and practising your driving so you can drive fast around at least one of the tracks, you’re ready to start tinkering with the setup of your car and start noticing
a difference in performance.
BASIC CAR SETUP OPTIONS
Don’t do anything yet. Instead, have a quick look at the basic options…
Front/Rear Wing Downforce Adjust
In general terms the wings on a Formula One car push it down on the track, creating ‘downforce’. This produces better grip and less roll, giving better control in corners, but less speed on the straights because of greater aerodynamic drag. You can adjust the amount of front and rear wing used by the car, using a scale from 1 to 20. The higher the number, the more downforce. Adjust the wings (front and rear) by clicking on the +/- buttons.
Front/Rear Brake Balance
Grand Prix cars have a low centre of gravity, centred just behind the driver. If you brake hard at speed, the weight – and the centre of gravity – shift towards the front of the car. Therefore, brakes must be balanced to cope with the weight transfer during deceleration (slowing down).
You can change the brake balance of your car by altering the way in which the front and rear brakes are applied. Remember that in the dry, it’s always best to have more brake bias at the front than at the rear. The scale goes from 50% to 75%. The lower the figure, the more balance is applied to the rear of the car. Adjust the balance by clicking on the +/- buttons.
Gear Ratios
You must set the gear ratios in your gearbox to suit each circuit. This is usually done by setting the 6th gear for the fastest possible speed along the longest straight and then setting the lowest gear for the slowest corner. The rest of the gears are ranged evenly between the two. Gear ratio selection is very important. Different cogs can be fitted to the gearbox that can have a major effect on the car’s acceleration, performance in bends and top speed.
•Twisty circuits with few long straights and plenty of chicanes need ‘short’ gearing – the cogs are closer together - for quick acceleration. The nearer the cogs are to each other, the less work the lower gear has to do to get to the higher gear.
•Circuits with predominantly long straights require ‘long’ gearing - the cogs are further apart - to help the car reach a higher top speed. The further away the cogs are from each other, the more work it has to do to get up to the higher gears but the faster the speed in top gear. The gearbox has a range from 1 to 64. Select +/- to change the gear ratios.
PUTTING IT INTO, PRACTICE
Now it’s time to try out some of these setup changes. Some changes you make will make the car behave differently and you may notice significant changes as you drive. Other changes will make more subtle differences, resulting in a better lap time, assuming your driving was consistent each time. Finally, changes and their effects can also be analysed using the
Performance Analysis Guide (more about this later).
A Quick Demo
To demonstrate how setup changes can affect a car, try the following exercise. We’ll make a dramatic setup change to a rear wing setting
so you can compare the effect, before and after. Although exaggerated, the procedure shown here applies in principle to other areas of the car.
Again, we will be at Monza for this session. This is a fast track with good long straights and fast corners, one which does not require excessive grip in corners. Monza is known as a low downforce track, so the rear wing which creates the downforce that holds the car on the ground will normally be set at a low angle.
•On the Car Setup screen, look at the rear wing adjustment buttons. We’re going to increase the angle of the rear wing significantly…
•Click the + plus button five times.
•Click the Save Setup button which will take you to the Save Setup screen.
•In the Filename panel, name the save ‘Setup1.csn’ and click on OK to return to the Car Setup screen.
•Click on OK to return to the Pit Options screen and select the Return to Cockpit button. You’ll now be back in your car with your rear wing set at the new angle.
•Select Leave the Pits on the LCD and drive two laps to set a time in the Data Logger.
•After you pass the start/finish line, press CTRL + Q to return to the pits (or drive back if you prefer).
•Now select Car Setup from the cockpit LCD to go to the Pit Options menu.
•Select Fetch Logged Data (you will see an indicator bar loading in the data).
•Select View Logged Data and you’ll enter the Performance Analysis screen.
The Performance Analysis screen is an extremely powerful utility that allows you to select laps and analyse numerous aspects of your car/driver performance for each lap.
•Select Lap 1 (this should be the complete lap) and click the Save Lap button and you’ll enter the
Save Performance screen.
•Enter a filename for the lap (Perf1.pan) and click on OK. You have now created a lap of Performance Analysis at Monza with a high wing angle.
•Now exit the screen (click on Back) and select Car Setup in the Pit Options screen.
•Now restore the rear wing to its original setting by clicking on the – minus symbol 5 times.
•Click on OK and then Return to Cockpit. You will now be back in your car cockpit with your rear wing set at the original angle.
•Select Leave the Pits and drive two laps to set a time in the Data Logger, then press CTRL + Q to return to the Pits (or drive back if you prefer), as before.
•Now select Car Setup from the cockpit LCD to go to the Pit Options menu.
•Select Fetch Logged Data.
•Select View Logged Data to enter the Performance Analysis screen.
•Select Lap 4 (this should be the complete lap) and click the Save Lap button to enter the Save Performance screen.
•Enter a filename for this lap (Perf2.pan) and click on OK. You have now created a lap of Performance Analysis at Monza with a low wing angle. You now have two saved ‘.pan’ laps (where pastands for Performance Analysis and
•Select Perf1 and click the Copy to Background button (it will appear in the lower panel).
•Select Perf2 and click the Copy to Foreground button (it will appear in the lower panel).
•Click on the Graph Selected Laps button and you’ll now enter the
Performance Display screen.
•Use the drop down Graph menu (at the top of the screen) to select Custom Graph.
• Make sure only the Speed trace is shown in | SCREEN 17 / PERFOR- |
the first drop down panel for both laps (the | MANCE DISPLAY |

with Perf2 in the foreground and Perf1 in the | |
background (the dotted line). Notice how the | |

than the lower rear wing angle (assuming you | |
drove consistently through both laps!). |
•If you like, adjust the X value zoom (click on the panel to increase the green bar) to see more detail and use the +/- buttons to scan the length of the graph.
•Now select the Map option (in the centre). This shows you the section of the track that is being analysed on the graph. Can you work out where the fastest straight is in Monza? Do you think you can drop the rear wing angle further and get a faster speed? Why not try it and see? You’ll now have some idea of what Performance Analysis is all about: trying out different car setups, examining the results on the graph, then choosing the best setup for that track under those conditions. Performance Analysis covers all measurable performance data, it simulates real Formula One circuit details and is a powerful aspect of the game. More information on recording data follows later in the manual.
GLOSSARY
Active Suspension Software controlled method of automatically pitching the suspension for specific bends.
Aerodynamics The force that comes into play when the car has picked up speed. Wings mounted upside down give negative lift and hold the car down.
Angle of Slip The angle between the direction of the wheels (front and rear) and the direction of travel.
Apex or Clipping Point The nearest point a car gets to the inside of a curve in an ideal racing line.
Balance The degree to which a car has understeer or oversteer in a corner.
Brake Balance The bias of braking power between the front and rear tyres.
Braking Distance The distance between the point where braking starts and ends.
Bump Damper An energy absorbing device, fitted between the wheel and car body, which resists upward movement by the wheel.
Camber Slight upward curve to the centre of race track. Camber Angle Camber angle is designed to make a tyre work as effectively as possible when a car is going through a corner. Negative camber is applied so that when fully stressed a tyre will be as close to perpendicular as possible.
Castor Angle Castor gives greater responsiveness and stability to the front wheels. The larger the castor angle, the heavier the steering and more stable the front end.
Centre of Gravity The position within the car around which all the mass is gathered. The lower the centre of gravity, the greater the downforce.
Chicane A sharp ‘S’ bend that reduces speeds by forcing drivers to drive through in single file.
Damper Forms part of the suspension system and absorbs the energy that is produced when the spring is compressing or extending. Damper force increases with speed (heave, roll and pitch velocity).
Downforce The force which pushes the car downward allowing the vehicle to ‘grip’ the road surface.
Drag Resistance to forward motion of the car. Can be caused by aerodynamic resistance or mechanical resistance.
Electronic Control Box Contains, among other information, the Driver aids software and settings, (traction control, active suspension etc.) The Electronic Control Boxes are frequently inspected by the FIA following a race to test for illegal driving aids being used by constructors.
FIA Federation Internationale de l’Automobile. The motor racing sport’s governing body.
Getting a Tow Another term for ‘slipstreaming’, gaining speed by sitting behind a rival car prior to overtaking.
Ground Effect Now outlawed by FIA but in the period 1980 to 1982 virtually all cars were built in this way. The car had an underbody shaped like an inverted wing which almost sucked the car on to the track and gave tremendous grip.
Increase the Lock For some tight hairpins, such as Loews in Monaco, the car steering lock is increased to take the bends faster albeit to the detriment of the tyres.
Logged data chart Graphical method of displaying information which has been recorded during a lap. Also known as Performance Analysis. Outbrake To brake very late into a corner when dicing with a rival car. Oversteer Oversteer is characterised by the rear end of the car losing grip, giving the car a tendency to spin.
Packers Packers form part of the suspension assembly and adjust the position at which the bump rubbers become loaded.
Paddock The parking area behind the pits where all the equipment, trucks and spare cars are kept by the teams.
Parc Fermé The area where cars are isolated after a race finishes. Only officials may touch the vehicles for an hour after the finish. Some engines may be ‘sealed’ for later inspection.
Plank, The A 10mm plank running down the length of the underside of all Formula One cars. This addition following the ’94 Imola Grand Prix, means that the ride height of the car must be sufficient to avoid the plank ‘grounding’. This results in less downforce and therefore lower speeds, particularly round dangerous corners.
Points System The points awarded for finishing a Grand Prix are as follows: 1st = 10 points, 2nd = 6 points,
3rd = 4 points, 4th = 3 points, 5th = 2 points and 6th = 1 point.
Rebound damper An energy absorbing device fitted between wheel and car body which resists downward movement by the wheel.
Refuelling Refuelling is an essential part of race strategy. The less fuel a car holds, the faster it can travel, but this will result in the need for more
Responsive handling The car responds quickly to steering, acceleration and braking inputs from the driver, allowing very accurate manoeuvres.
Rev limiter A device which limits the RPM of the engine to a preset value. This is used in the pit lane to keep the car speed within the pit lane speed limit.
Ride height The height of the car floor, above the ground, measured from the wheels. 168
Rumble Strip The bobbly, coloured strip on the edge of the track which serves as a warning to the driver to transgress no further.
Run Off Track A stretch of track close to a dangerous section of the circuit, that gives the driver an escape route if things go wrong, e.g. the driver loses control of the car.
Shunt A knock from the car behind you.
Skidblock See Plank, The.
Springs The springs form part of the suspension assembly and are the main means of supporting the car.
Stewards Decision In the event of a breach of FIA rules, a stewards enquiry is normally called. The party in question is called before the ‘Steward of the Meeting’ who issues a ‘Stewards Decision’ with accompanying fine/disciplinary action, if relevant.
Super Licence A licence required by all drivers, competitors and officials participating in a Formula One Championship. Suspension travel The distance through which the moving parts of the suspension travel in relation to the fixed parts. Telemetry System
Tifosi Italian Fans.
Time Penalties Should the stewards choose to impose a time penalty the offending driver must, in normal circumstances, proceed to the designated area and remain there until a specified time period has passed, after which the driver may rejoin the race.
Torque The amount of thrust driving through from the engine to the wheels.
Traction The ability of the rear tyres to grip the track surface and cause the car to accelerate.
Traction Control An
Tyre Blankets Special electric blankets placed over tyres just before a start to keep them up to racing temperature. Understeer Understeer is characterised by the front end of the car losing grip. This gives the rear of the car a tendency to carry straight on, through a corner.
Wings Devices fitted to the front and rear of the car which produce aerodynamic downforce. This allows faster cornering speeds. The rear wing also produces significant aerodynamic drag.
