... but own ICR2 (CART), you might want to try my way of simulating
the GPL experience:
Create a new setup with wings set to minimum, shocks on zero, tire
compound on "hard". Then take it for a spin around the Glen. :)
I find the car still much too drivable, compared to the GPL AVIs, but
the braking points seem to be accurate.

I'm going to try this when I get home :-)

Well, I'll *stop* trying it when I get home, but instead I will embark
on an (at least) one-hour download session once the phone company's
rates are switched to non-business-hours mode. The demo is available,
but I have to hurry to get it before our American friends return from
work.

Cancel everything I wrote - nothing prepares you for GPL! :) Papy,
take your time to make the sim absolutely perfect. You may even start
coding rain, since *I* won't need the full product for at least a
year. I'll be busy learning to drive Watkins Glen in the meantime.
Did I mention my new Native American name? "Parks-his-car-on-bales-
of-straw." Download the demo, and you'll soon know what I mean. :) By
all means, download the demo! It's a blast!
But be prepared for some humiliating experiences, especially if you
consider yourself a good driver. I consider myself an o.k. driver at
best, and yet, I had to correct that impression immediately. ;)

Absolutely!
:-)
You too? <vbg>
Best so far was to park the car upside down and on fire on one of the
bales ;-)
Cheers,
