If you run Spa, you only have to keep that
concentration going for 28 laps ;)

Denis, they CAN be shortened, no problem.

Go into your GPL folder and open up the "seasons" folder.  In that you'll
find two .INI files....one is used for the single races and the other for a
WC (GP.ini is used for the latter).
Open in Notepad or whatever and make the changes you desire then save.

You can also alter the sequence of events if you like simply by re-numbering
and moving them around in the file to correspond with the numbers.

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

Hehe...I didn't have so much luck in a GP race at Silverstone.  I spun on lap
54, and got rear-ended by Graham Hill.  Oh well.  I qualified 11th, ran in 11th
until cars ahead started dropping out(got as high as 8th).  Crashed out, and
finished - you guessed it - 11th...
Talk about *consistency*...<g>  Now I just have to find SPEED.  My fast lap in
a Cooper was only 1:39.xx. Fast lap by the leaders was 1:33.xx...
Back to the track...
