Maybe you're right and for some reason another setup (default?) is used
under certain circumstances. I remember, that I've answered to your post,
that I can't notice any difference with 1.2. In the meanwhile I went back to
1.1, but reading this thread I tried out 1.2 once again (cracked US version
from the Fastlane). I'm absolutely sure, that there is NO difference in car
handling between 1.1 and 1.2 on my system. I drove the Glen in 1.1 with the
Lotus and immediately after that in 1.2 with the same setup. Same feel, same
laptimes. And I noticed a difference between 1.0 and 1.1, even though I'd
played GPL for only about 2 weeks at that time. So I think there must be a
setup problem with all the guys, who swear, that there is a difference.
Strange, that I don't have it...
