If you click on the bottom-right corner of a program cover in the track
selection menu, it opens up! It has a track map, stats, and the fastest
lap. I just discovered that today :)

Hey Rob,

If you use the converted tracks for GPL, I've made programs for most of them
with covers, track maps and new event pages. I've also included a different
drivers portrait on the inside page of each program. They can be found at:

When you have one open you can just keep hitting the arrow button at
the bottom of the page and flip to each track and see the names of
all those annoying people that have taken over the track record on
your computer, with times you can only dream about. I have lost the
track record for every track on my computer except for the PantsRing,
which I do better on because it doesn't have any of those irritating
gpl requirments like turning and braking.

I found that out after having it 3 months (and playing 4-5 times a
week).  So don't feel bad.

I guess the author of the manual is happy to read this...
You can find this at page 26, in the Italian version at least.

Some lucky git got a 4 second lap around monza in one of the online races.
It has wiped my best off, and I have no chance on earth of getting it back!!
Must have been due to some huge warp or bug in GPL!!  No doubt to say, this
driver had pole for the race.

You mean people actually read that part of the manual?  Well, I'll be damned...

Well, you *could* change the record.ini file, you know. BUt I don't
know how you'd stop people thinking you'd been cheating...

If you do a screen dump from each track map (and you have a printer) you can
build a nice little booklet with all the track maps in it, like I did, which
makes learning the tracks easier.  Actually i've still got all the .bmp
files in a nice little 250k zip with labels and everything attached if
anyone wants it.  :)

Why don't you post it to alt.binaries.simulators.autos ? -That way everyone
can get at it.
