hehe.. you're missing the point. Constant drafting! you have to be
really good to not only keep a draft, but to be able to pass with the
draft. Then to hope that the driver using your draft can't use it to
pass you. Draft Heaven! ;-)

Just to compare F1 1969 times to cart times. So i could compare ICR2 physics
to GPL physics. I hope GPL times will be much much slower :o)

Surely you realize that the physics won't really compare? Also don't
forget that just because your driving line (and lap times) changes
significantly between sims (don't start) doesn't mean there's a flaw in the
physics: the PHYSICAL cars are different, too. Just like you can't drive a
Chrysler Imperial the same way you can a Corvette over the same course. I
think you'll get misleading results. Besides, we already know nothing comes
anywhere close to GPL's physics accuracy.

Believe me Chuck, there are ways to get these F3 cars up to very high
speeds by drafting, as long as the driver has had the foresight to dial
in a tall enough top gear..
I have seen Mike doing speeds a F3 car shouldn't be able to achieve at
Monza, through drafting.. :)))
For those of you that havn't tried drafting/racing/dicing in F3 cars,
all i can say is you don't know what fun you are missing out on.!!
"Yes", it does require skill to be able to draft and dice cleanly,
because the gaps between the regulars in F3 racing is usually inches,
not yards, but it is well worth it...
Cheers,
Ron
Like if you don't know ! ;-)

Not yet, Andrew. It's under testing now.

Okey, ICR2 physics is not realist as GPL ones, but lap times, acceleration
and speed are quite realist.
The GPL times,acceleration and speed are realist too, plus physics is.
So normally, GPL on portland must has slower laps than ICR2.
If not, well, maybe, ICR2 tracks have not the same scale than GPL ones.
Thus,it would be interesting to calculate the length tracks (and easy ).
Just drive at 22,5 mph ( 10m/s ), take time, and calculate track length.
Time in second * 10. it will give aproximate length in meter.
