How does one install this track?....it has no installation program with it.
Have LeMans and Daytona...but can I have Hockenheim and eat it too?
Anyway, check your 67season.ini file in your seasons DIR just to get a
basic idea of what it should look like. Note: Open using 'notepad'

You may just have an updated part of the track. Maybe try reloading the
track from:
http://www.dixierunners.speedgeezers.com/Hockenheim/ (there are 4 versions).
It's a zip file with an installer so you dont have to worry about the
season67.ini file.

Oh this is tooo cool...all these choices and flavors.
Ya know, I was only in Grade II elementary when this stuff was really
happening in Europe. When I play this sim, its more than just a race. Its a
friggin time capsule I'm in! I have been hurled back to1967...only knowing
more now than I did then. I remember seeing Denis Hulme and Bruce McLaren
racing in our city back in 1968 at the Can-Am series (Edmonton International
Speedway)---Alberta, Canada. I also re-call holding my newly acquired
silhouette racing hot wheel in my hands the whole time I was at that race.
*Sigh* The memories...the era...and how much time has flown by......thank
you GPL for bringing it all back :-)

hehe. Glad you got it. Btw there's a really cool night version available at
RSC i think... and guess what- it has 3 or 4 different sky choices too :-)
You're lucky that you had a chance to see even a part of this era. If it
wasn't for gpl i would have no idea of drivers like Jim Clark and Fangio and
tracks like the mighty nurburgring, spa (the real one ;-), etc. Just an
incredible sim with an even better community of track builders and modders.
They have really kept this era alive for people like me. Thanks guys :-)
