pit stops in wc

   Hello racers, here's a technical question to all of you world
circuit fans.

   A couple of weeks ago i read a post here saying that the
pit stops in wc were "hard wired" in the program. What i'd like
to know is if it's possible to edit those parameters (for instance
forcing every one to take 2 pit stops at Hungaroring).

   I want to do this because i realised that the cars i was passing
in the end (say 20%) of a race that were incredably slow were cars
that just didn't made any pit stops AT ALL during the race!

   So to be able to force those idiots to pit would bring the game
to a great challenge from the first to the last lap.

There is a program on CompuServe that will allow you to do exactly
this.  I download it tonight at home and bring it in and upload it.

Recently uploaded to brains.cc.rl.ac.uk is a program called ccpit by
T.Kellaway (the guy who brought us gplap). This program allows you to
adjust the pit strategies of the cars in F1GP/WC. I haven't had much
time to try it yet, but it seems to work fine.

The zip file is in pub/Racing/F1GP.
