So in three weeks, we are off to Hungary for the 12th round of the championship. I figured I would see how people have faired on the old Unofficial GP4 Fastest Laps page. HungaryHmmm, it looks like the Porsche drivers have a lot of work to do. Even VodkaMartini1 is faster at Hungary by a substantial margin! |

Eclipse Motorsport Review of WSRC for Hungary
We arrive at the Hungaroring with the World Drivers Title in the balance. Well the drivers one anyway, Arrows have seemingly wrapped up the constructors title being 26 points ahead, while Porche are a large 50 points ahead of Team Audi.
When it comes to the drivers title it is a question of many variables. Glanville has a 20 point lead over his nearest rival Lonnie King, who has a 2 point lead over Vincenzi who in turn has a 4 point lead over Rocha. These drivers seem the only ones who have a chance of taking the challenge to Glanville.
Hungary is the dustbole and the dust on the track can affect how the drivers perform. Surely the favourite for the race is Vincenzi on the back of wins at Germany and Monaco he must favour himself here. Yet Rocha is never to be doubted, neither is a suprise win from leader Glanville or King.
Here at Hungary and the following rounds at both Monza and Spa will surely decide the title. Will the inaugural title head to Arrows but to the number two driver who was surely hired just to drive? Or to Team Audi who have ploughed Million into the Team. Even Porsche who would like success in their first venture for F1 Cars.
The championship will be decided or elongated at these rounds but Glanville surely holds the aces at the moment. Maybe Vincenzi and Rocha will hope that come Australia they are not rueing their mid season breaks which gave Glanville the advantage

Hmmm, it looks like the Porsche drivers have a lot of work to do. Even VodkaMartini1 is faster at Hungary by a substantial margin! Hmm, considering how much people have improved I think you may well surprise yourself an dcome out on top. It is a tricky circuit to be consistently good at, so I don't think my qualifying result will be reflective of my race laps. |

D*mn! My game's bugged and I'll have to do all my laps in 6th gear!  Poor acceleration... don't expect much of me this time...  |

I'm starting to think it's the easiest to learn the breaking points and stuff like that. IMO, the hardest is monaco...but that's why I like it so much  |

What do you mean exactly? Your game isn't shifting to 7th gear, or you can't turn the 7th gear on?

The 7th gear ain't working. When I exit the general setup window the "activate 7th gear" button turns off automatically, but the gear ratios from 1st to 6th stay the same. I.e.: my gear ratios setting before leaving the screen: 28, 32, 37, 42, 46, 50, 55 - my gear ratios setting after leaving the screen: 28, 32, 37, 42, 46, 50. I have to re-set the gear ratios so they finish on 55 with 6 gears, what blows my acceleration away.  |
