The race or the rain, Chris?!

The ultimate in realism would to be driving at Spa (in 1966) and pulling out
from behind to pass a slowing Dan Gurney, who pulls over to take a leak
beside the road, leaving his Eagle idling in neutral and a rock shoved under
its front wheel to stop it rolling!

The rain and its effect on the leaders in their lap times.
Now, I wasn't going to mention it, but - if anyone wants to experience
a setup that makes the GPL car handle like it is on a wet track that
is slowly drying out - especially at Mosport and Spa where the track
already looks wet - on my computer anyway - I got the setup (and I am
sure
it can be greatly improved upon). I always wished some online group
would
try this and let me know how it went. It would take tremendous patience
as well as car control with a little daring thrown in here and  there
to win one of those races. Should make a lot of great replays too!

Perhaps you could upload this setup to the binaries simulator
newsgroup, for us all to enjoy?

And perhaps if cars drove over the oil they would slip and slide?

That was a rhetorical question....which is almost impossible to flag when
posting! :o)

I know.

I wasn't responding to your question.
