Fangio drove his greatest race at the N-ring in '57 when he caught up with
and passed the two Ferraris of Hawthorn and Collins to take the lead and go
on to win.
Yes....if rain was properly represented in GPL the N-ring would be the stuff
of nightmares!

Monaco is THIRD boring to you? Oh *my*...
Just trying to get through the chicane without eating hay increases MY pucker
factor...

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

It's just like the srtartgrid, the settings on the host determines the
layout of the grid. And the position of the stalls.

What I never understood about JS was that when he had his famous
Nurburgring win in the Matra, he won the race by *miles*, some minutes
ahead of the opposition, in terrible conditions of mist, rain and fog.
If he hated the ring and was so safety concious, he never needed to take
the risks that he did and lap so fast as to humiliate the opposition, he
could have gone much slower and still won the race.

!! I wish I'd known that a few months ago! Can you post the relevant bit
of the track.ini file as I'm not sure how to work out the co-ordinates.
Cheers,
