: So does that mean that someone's figured out how to edit the physics in
GPL?
Someone figured that out a LONG time ago
Doug
: Would it not make more sense to wait and mod NR2003? Just a suggestion
: since it would be the latest and greatest engine to work with plus the
last
: :(
Tracks ???

Depends on what you mean by that. I don't know if the actual physics engine
can be influenced, but the ability to adjust parameters pertaining to the
car, engine/tyre characteristics and its simulated dimensions for example,
has been around for years.
The real trouble is changing the drawn shape of the vehicle to match. If you
look at the screenshots carefully you'll notice the single seater suspension
struts in the GT40 rear wheel well.

Changing the graphical aspect of a car doesn't mean much about it's physics.
In the *** world, it's two completely separate things. In all games,
either racing or not. It won't be until a decade before both get together.
When you have a 3d representation of a car in GPL per example, it's there
"graphically" inside the graphical game engine but there's a completely
different thing that acts in the "physics engine". Well I'm crudely
simplifying here.
But in this case of your question, "yes" people have changed the physics of
GPL for a long time.
