The above is the best advice that you're going to get.

my sincere thanks to everyone for their input. i've got a pretty fair idea of
how do go about it now. if only i didn't have to do this old work thing! ;-)
-slower into the corners
-brake before turning
-even gas through the turns
-G3 car until able to handle it smoothly
-balls to the wall into the nearest hedge...no wait. that's what NOT to do. it
looks like it will take some time.

I guess it takes a guy with a name like Ayrton to play GPL with a
keyboard...

(I'm neither named Ayrton nor Senna, but my mother's last name is "Silva" as
in "DaSilva," and I guess that must be good for 6 tenths of a second per
lap, what do you think?)

.

Are these beta team setup's useable in the demo and if yes where can
you get these setup's from? I've checked the usual sites but can't
find them. Do you have an address?

Thanks in advance

They are on a beta site and I don't have permission to give that out...or the
setups.
