Just wondering if anybody has done a full championship on GPL
and won?

We often here people celebrating their first win or sub 1:30
Monza lap but I have never heard of anyone winning a
championship.

I've done it once and am doing my 2nd full season right now. It's great to
drive those long races, I would love to have a online championship like
that.

  For the real biggie - has anyone done a full world championship
without the "oh dear, crashed on lap 5 - I'll redo from saved game."

  I.e. all races and qualifying as they happen without restarting a race
from a save game due to problems.

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

I've setup GP length races on my server, and no one joins.  I can't imagine
trying to get people thru a full length SEASON...<g>

Sorry, I misread the question.  No, I haven't WON a full season.  Yes, I've
*finished* one...
I gotta stop reading the group so late at night...<blush>

Yes, but only at F2 level and with just Brands Hatch as the one extra track.

I thought you couldn't run F2 or F3 in championship mode.  Or did you just
simulate it by keeping track of the results outside of the game?

Dave...

You can find out all about how to do that at Allison Hine's great GPL site
at http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/ .  Then go to the FAQ's.  It tells how
to do it.

Hang on...here is a copy/paste of her instructions.
=============
5.3 Why can't I race against the AI while driving a Trainer?
Actually, you can. You have to change one small item in your player.ini
file. I recommend you create a new player just for racing in each of the
Trainers. For example, I have three drivers: Alison Hine (for the GP car),
Ali-F2 Hine (for the Advanced Trainer), and Ali-F3 (for the Basic Trainer).

Once you've created the extra player or two, open the GPL players folder (by
default, C:\SIERRA\gpl\players) and then open the folder for one of the
training players. For example, I would open
C:\SIERRA\gpl\players\Hine__Ali-F2. Now, using a text editor, edit the file
called player.ini.

Look for a parameter called driverRating. It's in the [ Personal
Information ] stanza. Change the value of driverRating to 2 for the Advanced
Trainer, or 1 for the Basic Trainer.

Now, when you race as one of these new drivers, the AI will go slower.
=============

Hope this helped.  It made GPL a lot more fun for me after I did that.  All
of my races are now in F2 mode.  I'll keep using that until I feel that I
can move up to F1.  But it's gonna be while.

    That does work but you have no choice but to run the F1 in the
championship mode.  You can run individual races with no problem but not the
championship.  Unless someone has found out other wise.

Pops. You can't !

Sure you can race the ai in single races but in championship mode, the cars
default to F1. Some of us have been hoping for a hack for a long time now.

It's easier to finish a season than a race. (it takes a little more time and
it's less rewarding dough)
