I hate F3000 gearbox and drivertrain. That second gear is crap.. Have to delay 3rd gear so much that when it's time to hit throttle and 2nd gear, it's too late. Do that before apex: it just snaps.. you can almost feel the whole car jerking front, revs matched as well i can do in any car, wtcc, gt, gp2, f1.. None has that same odd downshift pattern, 5th, 4th,3rd, snap.. My ears hear the same revs on all gears but 2nd is different than any other. I can go to long 1st easier and it doesn't snap.... I lose 1½ seconds on the last four turns, either i brake too soon and speed drops or i take it to the limit and snap, in a situation when i expect none of that.. Maybe i need to revert to autoclutch or take engine brake mapping totally off. Or it's just that these craps don't have the torque needed to make it work, there's something odd about it, somewhere. Testing GP2 2013 mod makes me hate F3000 with full heart..
