(GP2) Possible to edit driver info?

Seems to me that David Coulthard wins too many races, and Michael
Schumacher is not winning enough. Is there a way to switch the
performance values for these two drivers? I would assume that since I am
on about a straight swap, it shouldn't mess up any checksums or
anything, it should simply be a case of finding the right numbers to
switch. Anyone done any hacking in this direction yet?

regards,

Paul.

This might succeed... BTW, the checksum algorithm used in GP2
seems to be same as in old F1GP, it floats  in webspace on some
of the F1GP util pages. I think the bigger problem when making
utilities (TSRs) , stems from GP2's use of DOS extender (or did
GP1 use one ?).

Well, it's not really hacking, but if you replace Coultherd's name with
Ayrton Senna, then his performance seems about right :)

I too noticed that Coultard was winning to many races. To remedy this, I simply
changed his name....to Aryton Senna!! Now it seems a little more realistic....
