I run GP2 on a DX4/120 without any problems, though it is really only
drvieable in VGA.  Even then, I need to have it on Detail Level 1, and
most of the texturing etc witched off.  I end with *scenery* graphics
much like GP1, but of course the car graphics are quite a bit better
(and the gameplay is so much better too).  I've also run it on a P90,
and get virtually identical situation - but in SVGA.
On the 5x86/133 front, a friend of mine runs one of these at /160,
and gets pretty much P90 performance.  This makes it a very economical
upgrade in terms of $/bhp!  (providing your 486 m/b can copy with /160).

I found one! In the out-of-car views, the shadows of the wheels always remain on
the same side during an entire lap.

Now, either all circuits in Crammondland are based on the north- or southpole
and rotation of the earth is app. 1200 times as fast as in reality, or they
simply forgot about this!

        Some tracks on ICR 1.0 dur similars things, although the brakes do
not lock, but they do come on too early and stay on too long on some corners.

Hi All,

Boring it maybe... but accurate!.  If an F1 Team does not appear for a

qualifying session, they can face a hefty fine from the FIA (and this
may include starting from the rear of the grid!).  This is to ensure
that the general public who are paying addmission are able to see cars
and drivers go around the track on the respective days, regardless of
the weather!!.

A good example is the faulty corsets team...sorry Forty Coarse
Hairs.... Dam who was it?!<g>. Oh I remember Forti Corsa... apparently
they are facing a fine of around $20,000 per car for their non
appearence at the German GP.  As they are already strapped for cash...
it may be the last we see of them now! (I am saying nothing!!<gg>).

Regards,

Ian.
