Hmmmmm, ok here's my secret.......

I just hope I don't lose the 10 points over this but here goes.....

Holding down the left button is "1st" gear. Then hold down the right hand button for "2nd" gear. Once you're up to full speed keep holding the right button down and push the left hand button again for "3rd" gear....

Just don't make a huge mistake and forget to back off the gas when you're in first place and nearly at the finish line. I was really pissed when I blew up the motor just as I was going over the start grid and about 1 second from scoring another 9 points for another F1 victory.

How long I wonder before I have to claim back #1 spot on this game now that I've given up my secret to high speed ?! ;-))

Cheers, BeeJay.

PS..................

Oh, just as a matter of interest I find this game much easier to play with the keyboard than it was with the joystick in the arcades.....

But I do still want to get a joystick setup sometime - especially as this new damn MS Natural keyboard can't handle multiple keypresses as well as my old el cheapo keyboard did so it makes Robotron impossible to play now for me. Unfortunately I can't plug my old keyboard into my new PC as it uses the small PS2 connection. :-(

Cheers, BeeJay.
