So where can I get the 2003 track? In the link I posted it said for 2003.

It says for N2003, but if you get the black shadows and stuff, it's a
2002 conversion, for N2003, go here as Achim said

I have the old CART so maybe I can try to convert myself. Thanks. I'm
playing with the ETCC Mod for F1C now lol. Great Mod!

As a complete tyro when it comes to actually making setups, I *hate*
changing stuff, testing, comparing, changing, etc.   Because my driving
skills are hardly good enough to knock off consistent laps, it's hours
and hours of stultifying boredom.  :-/  I'd rather find a solid setup
that I can live with and adapt my style to it.

That said, when driving GPL I have settled on two different setup
sources and am concentrating on maximizing my skills with them.  The
initials of the creators are AH and AT.  :-)

Having driven the default setups in NR2003/TA and then installed AT's
TA setups, I can only say they're far better than the defaults.
Whether they're the best possible -- who knows.  They're certainly good
enough to settle down with and learn to drive the game properly.  And
that's good enough for me.  Sorry there isn't much hard data expressed
here...

Thanks for the Feedback Greg. I wasn't aware that my GPL setups can still be
downloaded anywhere! :-)

As a matter of fact, I think the US Pits still has them available,
along with W. Woeger's and Doug Arnao's.  

I usually default to Alison's setups, but I recall a few tracks where
your setup made me a bit faster; possibly because I was really
comfortable with the track.  As I said, though, if it didn't surprise
me, I could likely do OK with it; your setups were stable and fast
enough for me.  I'm not good enough to discern 0.1 sec a lap on any
track. :-)

Weren't your setups among the first to explore extra-stiff springs to
keep the tub from hitting the bump ***s?  I think that made as much
difference as anything, given my flamboyant driving style.  :D
