Warning, the career mode is 1039 laps total. Cup E is most of them,
730 laps, mostly 8 events at 20 laps a piece, plus 2 60 lap events.
If you get tired of this, you can edit your .PLR file, changing
Vehical Removal time from 30.0000 seconds to 0.0100 seconds, which
causes the AI to dissappear at the start of a race. You can then
quit and all get a DNF, but you remain at the top of the leaderboard,
winning all cups without running any laps.
The money cheat is good because you can buy all but the 11 cars that
you win during career mode. You can run more of a variety of cars
during career mode.

After finishing the A and B series I used Jeff's advice to speed up the
progress just so I could try all the cars. I just love the Porsche 911.
I wasn't keen on the shortened tracks though the slower cars are also fun.
A quick venture online seems pretty stable so far.
I like it too :)

- the car/circuit locking isn't as bad a thing as it seems; being forced
to drive the "lesser" cars before jumping into the Pantera or Cobra is
probably a good thing as you progressively adapt and refine your
sim-driving skills;
- these old-cars-with-modern-tyres-and-setups-on-modern-tracks are in
fact fun to drive in the sim. Most modern tracks might look boring for
F1 racing, but blasting through chicanes in Cortina's or Alfa GTA's is
plenty of fun.
One gripe though, the gamma setting that Simbin used for the graphics is
really much too low (dark). With the default settings, racing at any
time other than 14:00 is very unpleasant (yes, I do know how to use the
headlights). Thankfully, downloading the ATI tray tools and defining a
game profile saved the day (and made driving in the night possible).
The FPS are not stellar on my P4 2.8GHz/ATI9800pro system *BUT* while
35-40 FPS might seem low by today's standards, the game is very smooth
at this rate (also remember that GPL is limited to 36 FPS)
Overall, I am glad I bought GT Legends at full price now rather than
waiting for it to appear in the bargain bin as I planned to initially,
but IMHO, the demo would have been more effective had it included a car
such as the Cortina or Alfa instead of the Type E or the Corvette. Or
maybe I just suck at driving the more glamorous cars ;)

Any advice what settings I could try to improve fps?

Latest video drivers? Try Omega's? I always found them to be
excellent..

Not sure why I like the Lotus Cortina so much, but I do... 8-).

Some tracks are worse than others - Donington & Anderstorp being quite
poor for frame rates.
Reducing AA and AF helped for me. Reducing mipmap quality makes it look
horrible though. I have also gone for reduced track textures which helped.
Online seems better though so I guess the CPU plays an important part
with GTL.
I am thinking of upgrading soon and think GTL will be the catalyst to
make it sooner rather than later, just as GPL did all those years ago...
