It's an amazing piece of work, well worth the wait.
I've never been a fan of the BRM but getting the new model motivated be to
try a couple of laps at Nurby and my first full lap knocked nearly 15
seconds off my MOG!

I had a similar gain when the Honda was released, but I really do hate that
b***y thing!

The mirrors really do look like they've just been wiped with a greasy cloth,
but I think it restricts the view a bit too much. The subtle fingerprints on
the 23v Ferrari were spot on imo.

Footnote: I hate _driving_ the Honda. The GPLEA update is fab ;-)

Why don't you produce a game add-on to laugh at?

Don't sweat it... Simers are often socially inept. Grown men ***ed to a
plastic wheel, locked up in a little room somewhere.

Thank you for your opinion. Got anything useful to add as well?

Indeed Ronny, implying releasing updated graphics for the BRM was silly. At
least that's how I interpreted it.

I added the footnote to my own post about the Honda precisely because
someone might mis-interpret it to think I didn't like the Honda update.

Frankly, I think you overreacted. Why would you assume that someone would
think that a graphics update (good or bad) would affect the handling of any
car in gpl, when it's pretty well known that there are no 'extra' cars
publicly available for gpl. It was just a joke, and a funny one too.
I reckon the new BRM has reduced the wheel count to around 13 or 14, based
on my time at the 'ring ;-)

Oct 2002:

(Done - GPLStat. So I'm immune from that one!)

Eh? I don't see any criticism of the addon from jgd there, only of
the BRM itself - and the GPLEA heavn't changed any physics, have
they?

I assume this jgd character is a big cheese over on the webforums with all
the people jumping to his defence over here? ;-)

It pushed my button, for sure. I happen to like driving the BRM in GPL, but
I'll admit it's too slow to use in serious competition.

It appeared to me the poster did not think the BRM worthy of a graphics
update, thereby devaluating the effort of the GPLEA team.

Anyhow, I don't think my reprisal was over the top, actually. If that's over
the top people in here have gotten touchy over the last week or so. <g>
