Hehe, that's what the AI at Talladega on GPL are good for!  :)  It's fun to
drive around smoldering cars at 180mph on the start actually.  hehe

Where did all the bumps come from?  I've seen Hockenheim for year after year
on tv, and it's not bumpy like in F1 2000.  Check out Superbike 2000 for a
superb rendition of Hockenheim.

Beats me. Supposedly they used very accurate survey data
to construct all of the tracks. So far though as the season has
progressed, each track has proven to be accurate. Except for
the placement of a curb or garbage can or something. So we
will see after the race.

It is fun though, I know that much...
