Well, I guess it's possible.  I'll just have to do a couple of full-length GP's
to see if that helps.

I used to hate Toronto and Miami in ICR2 for the same reasons.  Those
billboards on the concrete walls blend together.  It's not easy to see where
the track ends and the wall begins.

I manage to find where the wall begins, just a bit late... Often it begins
at the trackside, but then ends up stuck to my front wheels rather more
rapidly than I would like <g>

Yep, but only in third gear <g> I take my Eagle through there in 4th and I
need to lift off twice.

Daggit Ace you caught me offgaurd since I quickly grabbed off Vroc as I
wanted the gp_ai.ini file more then the patch to lighten the road in Sarthe.
Just went on Vorc and here are 2 sites Ace:
http://www.legendscentral.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/000044.html
http://www.legendscentral.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/000046.html
I got them from Marc Beckman originally who made them.. Also I have
not tried the patch yet as I find the color on the road for me just fine but
I might give it a whirl later..Enjoy..Thom_j.

Yes, thats the part I'm talking about. I have to lift in 4th gear for
the left-hander and then get on the gas hard for the right-hander. I
also tap the brakes a little while lifting the accelerator for that
left-hander. If I don't, I always run wide on the exit of the
right-hander. I'm sure the really fast guys are taking it flat out, or
close to it.
