Can you run a championship vs AI in GPL with the F2 cars? If so how and does
the AI use F2 cars also?

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).

Zolli, I've tried this several times and each time I go into Championship
mode (instead of Single Race) all the cars (including mine) default to the
full-on F1 cars.

What's the story?

F2 Cars Championship

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!

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.

Don't understand what goes wrong there?
BTW, I got the info from Alison Hine's GPL-FAQ, maybe you can find out more
on her site.

I'm wondering if anybody else has had this occur?  I'm darned if I can get
it to work under Championship Season.  Single Race is fine...no problems at
all, but as soon as I select a full Season....WHAMMO!....back to full 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.

WHOA!!
Correction to this...the AI cars are okay.  It's only MY car that always
defaults to F1 mode when Championship is chosen!!  This is most frustrating.
Anyone have any clue as to what may need tweaking?

It seems that only you and me have this problem B.
 no matter what I do I go F1 when in WC! I loose all my setups so there
might be something to do with  assigning F2 player to the WC? Working on
it...
Is it patch related?
I have 1.1 patched!

I too have been pondering upon this one for a long time. As you say Bruce,
there seems to be nothing in the ini files to change this situation.

Deeply frustrating!

Well, now that all you SMART people have raised the issue, I'll chime in.
I've never been able to make it work either.

Well Oli, I don't know if it's patch related or not because I only use the
first patch (1.0.0.3, I think it is) and last night I did a separate install
of GPL from the box (1.0.0.0). I made only one driver, converted him to F2
and exactly the same thing happened when in the Championship mode: I stayed
at F1 level and the AI came out as F2!!

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

Maybe the others haven't actually tried to run a WC because it will always
default back to F1 cars. This has been discussed many times and no-one has
yet come up with a workaround, to my knowledge.
Cheers, Andrew.
