Superb idea, and one which really annoys me in online racing!

Or (and Wolfgang Preiss will back me up on this), 1960s
British touring cars will do just fine. :-)

Nigel Mansell RIP!
What about them? They didn't do pit stops per say in 1967...if you did
addon packs for 1970s racing then, yeah you would need a new code to handle
pit stops.

I go further and shift into reverse. Then by flooring it, I can do a
quick 180* ;-)

Well, I suppose the wheels come off in realistic mode...
For online racing too they could be beneficial, allowing people to
choose between nursing a mildly damaged car and pitting, rather than
as at present choosing an undamageable car, the "penalty" of instant
Shift-R or the race being over.
Seems like a fair idea.
Cheers!

That's easy. Go to Monza, get up to full speed and then quickly change down
to first gear. <G>

Actually it moves pretty accurately IMHO.
Try to change your default cam to the side-pod. It's cameras that were not
in the final release of GPL, so I don't remember what # they are. It's a
camera placed about 2feet behind the driver to the right, at the same level
as his head. You can clearly see how accurate the head physics are, in both
acceleration and braking, and into the turns.
Everything done by the 3d***pit somehow is from the head's accurate
physics, since the camera moves in the same way as the head in GPL. That's
why you see the***pit moves on the screen in-car. So IMHO it's pretty
good :)>

Change the default view? There are only two views in GPL (not inc. the
replay).
You can force your favourite view, if that's what you meant?
