[edit] Soo

did anyone ever beat G. Ceara in those first two races of the title defence season?  I used to put my best laps in against him and he'd just match me and remain as a dot in the distance.  Looking in news groups and forums, nobody else has claimed to have beaten him either.  It's impossible and just part of the game afaik. --Graybriggs 14:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

No it isn't impossible 'cause I was able to do it :-) It's incredibly hard but you can do it, specially at the Brazilian GP. And I found it was easier to do with automatic gears, so I guess that's the reason people can't beat him, it's easy to beat the other rivals with manual gears, and it improves the general gameplay... but makes harder to beat Ceara/Senna. I'll explain myself.

To beat him you simply need to catch him. When you are side by side and the time split says '00,00', he just eases off and races just as if he were a normal Bullets car. When you have beaten him he's not a problem anymore because he won't challenge you again.

So, how the hell do you do to catch him? There are several turns on which he seems to lose some time to you, but at San Marino there is the second turn (Tosa in real life) where it's close to impossible to pass full throttle, but somehow he does it and therefore he regains every tenth you gained during the previous lap. I have never beaten him at San Marino. Even if I drive like mad and I close the gap a little bit each lap, the backmarkers come and everything is lost, 'cause he just passes them without crashing and you can't.

But at Brazil, things are different. He loses more hundredths in more turns, and there's a hairpin where I can gain 2 entire tenths. The key to do it are the automatic gears. If you arrive into that turn at a very high speed (if I remember correctly, it was 380 or so with 4 gears and 434 with 7 gears, yeah very unrealistic haha) it will be very hard to pass the turn correctly, without losing time, and that happens to be the only chance you have to beat him. It's easy to do it with automatic gears (it was for me, at least...)

It's really ironic what fate can do: the two races on which he challenges you are held at the most important countries on his life, for obvious reasons. And back in 89/90, the programmers had no idea of what role the San Marino GP would play in his life...

Game-wise, apart from the Ceara/Senna case, some other drivers were portraited. They were Asselin/Prost, Elssler/Berger, Alberti/Patrese, Picos/Piquet and Cotman/Mansell, afaik, but surely there can be others. // Ferrim, 26 August 2006

I don't think anybody read this, but still... I've been playing again and I've found a few tips. To keep closing on him it's VERY important how you make the turn. When playing "normally" it's not important if you are at the inside or at the outside (except for the barriers haha). But when following Ceara, the inside lines are very important. You need to take every turn the most at the inside you can in order to close a little more on him.

This time it took seven or eight attempts to do it, but finally I beat him again :-D // Ferrim, 31 August 2006

Hey guys, why do you change again the article and say that Ceara is impossible to beat? He isn't! // Ferrim, 16 September 2006

Does anybody know which team the car played in the "Super Monaco GP" and "Free Practice" modes of the Genesis/MegaDrive version of this game belongs to? It is white with red stripes and probably looks like a Marlboro-sponsored McLaren, according to the colors of the car from within the cockpit. It's not Zeroforce/Zakspeed for sure. 208.62.18.29 20:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Monaco GP

I note that Monaco GP redirects here - but there's clearly an older arcade game (the 1979 discrete circuitry one) by that name (and it's souped up cabinet variant, Pro Monaco GP). Can we drag up an article for that? Kinitawowi 13:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Now a stub at Monaco GP (arcade game). AlexJ 15:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

And Monaco GP now redirects to Monaco Grand Prix (disambiguation). DH85868993 16:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
