Is this a nickname for a car? I dont see any such beast in my game, or is it
one made by 3rd party for download?
Thanks to the guys that have helped this GPL newbie....been doing it for
only a couple months after years as a N1, N2, N3, N4 guy....(Im in NO way a
threat to anyones rank at this point!!)...getting used to right turns :-)
As always your help is appreciated.......(oh and did someone say they ENJOY
Nurburgring??? I cant imagine in my wildest dreams anyone can find joy in
that track...maybe it will grow on me...but I'll be too old to see by
then...I call it 11:00 minutes of hell!)

I'm sure a million GPL fanatics are typing this at the same time: the
Coventry in GPL is what everybody now calls the Cooper. Similarly, Murasama
= Honda. Papyrus/Sierra couldn't get licenses for these cars in time.

I think there are patches out there to change the names in the game, check
out www.theuspits.com. After a while you see "Murasama" and read "Honda", so
the patch is optional. There are also***pit downloads that give you a
Cooper badge on the steering wheel, a real Cooper engine sound, true team
colours, etc. You can enhance this thing to the nth degree if that's your
thing.

And only really sick people enjoy the Ring.

God I can see the eyes rolling now..."how many times must we go over thist?"
But I never caught on to that...that car doesnt seem to come up much....(I
have an idea why)
Yeah I hate asking dumb questions...figured it must be one of those deals an
Okie wouldnt understand :-)
Thanks for the info

Wouldn't be a bad idea for you to pop over to the library and take out a
good short history of F1. Then you'll have a better idea both about your
question, and a lot more that will make the whole GPL experience just a bit
deeper and more enjoyable.

No, the name is actually Cooper since Papy cannot get the licence to
use the name, it is named as "Conventry".

BTW, there is a 3rd party patch which converts all reference to
"Coventry" back into "Cooper" and so for "Honda". But I am not sure
where to find it.

Well actually my interest was in modern F1....(F1CS2000 pales in comparison
to this no downforce racing) .......but this game has piqued my interest in
the bigballed guys that didnt have "shift R" as an option!!
Thanks guys

Well, my sugestion would apply to appreciation of Modern F1 as well, just as
knowing about Babe Ruth and Joltin' Joe would deepen your appreciation for
modern baseball.

The sport has a history that has a bearing on where it is today.

Rob, I wish there WERE a million GPL fanatics. We might have gotten GPL2 by
now... :(

Ok, you've had the game for a couple of months. Let's see how long it takes
you to go 'negative'...<g>

Since you might not understand that inside joke, I mean beating the times of
the Papy-supplied replays. Check out http://gplrank.ringlord.com/ and prepare
to be humbled. Some people seem to do it in a couple of months. Some(not
saying who) can't do it after more than 2 years...

Me! - me! - 6 months and I'm still at 114 - I can see an (exponential
downward??) curve that will stop at about 100!
