Question 1
I have just installed GPL for the first time and downloaded the d3d driver
for it and it works fine, until I start a race, then there is a line in the
midle of the screen aboout 2cm wide, flashing the rest of the track behind
the hill.

This happens to me on Kyalami.  (I have only raced on Kyalami .....)
It happens every time I race down the staight only.
It only happens in races, not in training.
It happens on all resolutions and even when I switch off all the graphics
details.

Have any of you got some ideas on how to solve this bug?

My system.
Athlone 750
nVidia GForce 200 MX 32mb
128mb RAM
Direct X 8.0a
Newest drivers for screen card downloaded middle of last month.

I know that this used to happen on Quake when there were too many polygons
visible in a map, but I'm not sure here.  Hopefully a setting can fix this.

Question 2
I'm racing the BRM and have it doing 1.29.73 lap times on Kyalami.  I just
wanted to know if this is a fast time, moderate or just plain succy?

Thanks

Try something a little easier to drive like the Ferrari. You'd probably
get into the 1.23's relatively quickly with a nicer handling car.

BTW, the BRM world record at Kyalami is around 1.19!!

Have a look at GPLrank

This is the best way of seeing how good you are.
