Yes, you can.
In your 'gpl\players' folder are folders for each of the player-names you
use. Each player has a file called 'player.ini'.
In that file you have to search for the parameter called 'driverRating'.
If you set the value to '2' you'll race F2 cars, if you set it to '1' F3
cars.
The AI will use the same type of cars.
It's a good idea to create a special player for that purpose, because
otherwise the AI might race very good laps, if you had some really good
laptimes with the F1 cars... (they remember the records of each player
seperately and react on your fastest times).

What I have found is that when I once began an F2 Championship, my car
was actually F1, and the AIs were driving F2s! In the beginning it was
nice to win, but then I realized that the "hype-something"? will become
very strange after I make those F1 laptimes. Or will it?
Single Races work fine in all the series.
By the way, is this "hype-something" different for every human driver
(I have Arto, Arto2 and Arto3), or do they share the same scaling?
In my different driver's folders I did not find anything named "hype".
Only in the gpl_ai.ini, which is shared by all drivers!
Arto
Well I just did what Zolli said and it worked fine. thanks Zolli I prefer
teh better balance if the F2 cars over F1 cars.

Is there anything in the driver.ini file that needs changing...or the
gpl_ai.ini file? I've looked and looked but can't find anything.

I cannot understand how others can run a Championship season in F2 unless
something else has been changed.
