GPL: F2/F3 setup errors

Gents, what have I done wrong here? In "championship" mode, I can't load my
F2 setups because the game seems to think I'm running my F1 car, and if I
make a setup and save it, it saves as an ea.1 (F1) setup. However, in single
race mode, the .ea2 setups load fine, and save with the right extension. I
used GPLSeason, latest version, which may have something to do with it, and
I've checked the [ player ] settings to make sure they're right and they
seem to be.

 I'm confused!

Unfortunately, you can only use an F1 car in a Championship Season.  :-(
  I think it's one of the few mistakes they made when coding this fine
sim.  Nobody has figured out how to counter it yet.  The only
alternative is to run full length races one by one with your F2 &
compute the points by hand.  :-(

I did not know that! Thanks, Chuck, and someone fix that, will you?

The problem is that in championship mode you *are* running in F1 car...
Unfortunately there's no way to run a championship in the "trainer" cars
:-(
