With a good setup, the shrieking H-16-engined monster is a joy to drive,
and Patrick's wonderful BRM V-16 sound dramatically enhances the
experience. I can't think of many greater sensual pleasures in GPL than
hurling the BRM around Rouen, wailing up the hill through the trees,
flinging it around the long glorious undulating corners.

Furthermore, the Beast has a significant strategic advantage which, if
you can capitalize on it, makes it possible to beat considerably faster
cars. It's not all that slow, either; my quick times in the BRM at some
tracks are faster than my best times in the Coventry and Murasama.
Almost everywhere else it's very close.

Its short wheelbase makes the BRM much more responsive than the
long-wheelbase Coventry and Murasama, and I feel this makes it another
excellent step in the learning ladder to mastering the lightweight
"glamour cars".

Unleash the Beast in your computer!

I'm absolutely wearing out your Cooper setups I like them so much!

The Ferrari is still a bit much for me to handle, so it is with great
anticipation that I download your new setups (I can't seem to find the time
for developing my own: I'm using it all for practice).

With two kids and a wife that just plain doesn't understand my fascination
with these old cars, your work on the Cooper (and now the BRM) is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!
Mikey

Very nice setups! And when using the wonderful new engine sound,
also BRM started being a decent racing car. I enjoyed a lot driving
in Monza and Zanvoort. And also Alison's explanation of the car,
its characteristics and the setups were very enlightning. I could
really feel the heavyness, short wheelbase, etc.

Thank you Alison for making also BRM an interesting choice in GPL!

But have you tried it with my setups?  Using the BRM, I've nearly
equaled or bettered my best times with the Murasama and Coventry at most
tracks.  It feels slow on acceleration but that's because it doesn't get
as much wheelspin as the other cars.  It's actually very powerful.

Just in case someone wants to try the BRM setups, here's my URL again:

BTW what are the chances that GPL 1.1 will include an option to save games

nature of my job means that I can seldom guarantee 2.5 + hours of
uninterrupted play!

Once again, thanks for the great set-ups...those of you who have steered
clear of the BRM really ought to try it once more with these set-ups.
