It's just my opinion, but with the same setup for everyone you would
have the slowest of drivers still being slow and the fastest of drivers
still being fastest. The only difference would be with the intermediate
drivers, the slower of such would be closer to the faster of such.
I do like the concept and would like to attempt something like this
just to see what kind of a difference there is when everyone uses the
same setup (default setup).

From what I've seen, Mike is right. Slow drivers are still slow drivers,
fast drivers are still fast drivers, and people in the middle are closer
to the fast drivers than the slow drivers. Overall, the spec races were
a little more fun than the regular races because everyone had a
relatively equal chance to do well (if they could keep the car on the
track).
One caveat in GPL - there is no way to force a client to use a specific
setup. IMHO, it would be a simple matter to download a setup file from
the server to the clients when they connect, and also disable the
client's ability to change the setup at all. This would promote the spec
(IROC) style of racing.

Hmm, I've heard of that league.......too bad the league-boss has decided not
to run another season, but maybe we can get some1 to use the basics of it
and host an IGPS3 ? As I heard by rumor, the league-boss will allow the new
host(s) to use his web-page to work with......any volunteers?
cheers
