Wow! Now at last I know why Jack Brabham and the rest didn't think much
of the Bugatti circuit - it's really fiddly and slow apart from a couple
of corners. I think the GPL F1 cars are much happier in the fast corners
like at Spa.

Excellent job of modelling the track though and it certainly fills a gap
in the collection.

I likened it to a handful of drag strips connected with u-turns...
yawn. <g>

Agreed.  I love Mr. Esso!  Thought at first it was the Sta-Puft
marshmallow man... LOL  Too bad the FPS takes a hit when the
grandstands come into view as you finish a lap.

I guess my puter is finally at a level of performance I can live with
in GPL, as it does not move from 36 in Bugatti. Ah now that is nice .

options but arms and just cars in mirrors(online must))
