AUTO SAVE

Each time you start the game, you will be prompted to select a memory card slot for Auto Save. Choose the memory card slot that you plan to save your game to. Later, when you choose to save your game, data will automatically be saved to the Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) in this slot.

SAVE SEASON

The option to save the progress of your game is only available in World Championship. Select the option to save from the Race Weekend screen that appears before and after Championship races.

SAVE GAME OPTIONS

When you exit the Game Options screen, Highlight "Exit and Save" to save the changes made to the game options. If you don't want to save changes to game options, select "Exit and Restore" to reset all options to their default settings.

SAVE CAR SETTINGS

FORMULA ONE 2001 provides an easy way for you to save different car settings for each of the 17 circuits in the game. In fact, you can save up to three different groups of car settings for each circuit! To Save Car Settings For a Circuit:

1. Start by entering a practice or qualifying race in either World Championship or Single Race mode. Be sure to choose the circuit that you want to save car settings for. You can only save settings for the circuit you're currently racing on.

2. After the race finishes loading, you will see the Garage screen. Access the Car Setup screen by highlighting the wrench icon on the right side of this screen and pressing the X button

3. In the garage you can change all the different settings to your car.

4. To save the changed car settings, highlight the lower of the two memory card icons that's on the right side of your screen and press the X button.

5. Select the Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) in memory card slot 1 or 2 and press the X button.

6. On the following screen (shown below) you will select a Car Setup file to save onto. Remember, you can't select different circuits because car settings are only saved for the circuit you're currently racing on. Press Up or Down to select a file to save your settings to and then press the X button. If there are already settings saved for the current circuit, you will be asked to "Confirm Selected File Overwrite." If you want to replace old car settings with the current ones, select "Accept" and press the X button.

QUICK LOAD

LOAD

Accessed from Main Menu Choose this option to manually load your saved game data from Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2). Unlike the Quick Load option, this method of loading gives you an opportunity to load saved game data from the card in slot 1 or slot 2.

LOAD CAR SETTINGS

Accessed from the Car Setup screen Use this option to load previously saved car settings before a race, practice session or qualifying race. Unlike Saving Car Settings, you will not be limited to loading the settings from a particular circuit. This means you can load the settings that worked well on one circuit onto your car while racing a totally different circuit. To Load Car Settings:

1. You can load car settings before a race, practice session or qualifying race in either Test Drive, World Championship or Single Race mode. Choose circuit that you want to save car settings for. You can only save settings for the current circuit.

2. After the game finishes loading, you will see the Garage screen pictured below. Access the Garage by highlighting the wrench icon on the right side of this screen and pressing the .button.

3. In the Car Settings screen, highlight the uppermost MEMORY CARD icon that's on the right side of your screen and press the .button.

4. Select the Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2) that you want to load car settings from and press the .button.

5. On the following screen (page 9) you will select a Car Setup file, and then choose which group of settings to load. Press Up or Down to select different Setup Files. Press Left or Right to select the settings from one of the 17 different circuits in the game. As you scroll through the numbers, the name of the country they correspond to will appear at the bottom of your screen. Remember: when you saved car settings they were assigned to the circuit you were racing the time. Highlight a circuit number and press the .button to load the car settings that are saved for that circuit.

What’s what on the Load Car Settings screen: Each file can fit car settings for the 17 different circuits in the game. If you need more than one group of car settings for a particular track, you should save another car setup file in one of the empty slots
