Hi Janne,
   The .prf files that show a line right in the middle of the track
were recorded with an older version of GPPERF which didn't record the
track position so GpAnalyzer just displays the line in the middle of
the track.

I have come to the exact same conclusion. It seems like something odd i going on in
there. Too bad if its true that they are cheating. I have raced with F1GP a couple of
years now ,and never managed to come close to the Adelaide time you mentioned (
1:07:997). Not until I used GPed and gave my car 999 hp:s - and even then it was pretty
hard (1:07:863).  I experimented with giving one of the AI -cars 716 hp:s (normal) and
driving skills the best. Then I watched this car in the game. It could hardly do times
under 1:10.! I had to increase the AI-grip A LOT until  the car became competitive!

Strange ha?

Cool! Maybe Im not so slow after all!

It made me wonder too how were they able to go that quickly. I was able to do 1.09.716 in
Adelaide and I know that it gave my best. Still they did times under 1.08.

Maybe they got their batches from Benetton in 94.
