        I did like Viper racing alot!  However, it was the unrealistic tracks
that put that CD on the shelf to collect dust.  If you would want to
convert the two, the best way would be to put the GPL tracks in Viper
Racing.  That's for starters.  If Viper racing had the ability for more
then 8 drivers online, and the GPL (or any other realistic tracks) then
Viper racing would have been top notch. Or at the very least, equal to
GPL.

Just my take on this,
Mike

Are there any utlities that lets you convert the tracks from Viper into GPL?
If I remember right Viper racing was based off the GPL engine, right? So,
the tracks shouldn't be that hard to convert.
I've only played the demo of Viper racing, so I'm not even sure if the
tracks are any good or not, but the demo track would be fun, I think.

GPL was developed by Papyrus, Viper by MGI. Two birds of a different feather.

nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
