GPL: Laguna and Indy Observations

by Jeffrey Haa » Tue, 28 Mar 2000 04:00:00

Whoa, when I first left the pits I thought I was still in my Reynard
at Laguna.  Didn't take long to see that the engineers had removed all
traces of downforce and 4th and 5th gear turns were, uh, not gonna
happen.  My biggest "life flashing in front of my face" was when I
crested the climb to the corkscrew WITHOUT applying the brakes on
the uphill climb ..... nuff said there. One tough track to drive.

Indy was another flash to my eyes. After a couple of laps I'm tooling
along the front straight, profiling for Tony and a special woman that
I had spotted in the crowd on my previous lap.  See a car coming out
of the pits, no problem, move a little towards the wall then WHAM!
Guess the AI like to move DIRECTLY to the racing line when exiting the
pits.  Looks like the Nascar rule needs to be used here. When you see
a car leaving the pits, aim for them unless they are in the racng line
already...

The wonderful historical tracks of Snett, O-Ring and Brands now with
all the many Papy tracks have made GPL just an amazing piece of
entertainment.

Thanks, Dave, Allison and the GPLEA artists and engineers.
