I just got my GPL the day before yesterday, and every evening
(2 of them :) I've been driving the Lotus GP car quite much in Monza...

Seems to be quite an ***ive simulator...

And no hope: because the Direct3D with PII 350 isn't enough,
I guess I got to get the Voodoo II?

I must add: After the previous post I tried a 6 course race in Monza.
Not very good for me, but really fun to drive. J. Clark won. His
fastest lap was 1:31.77. I could only make 4 laps: 2:30.28, 2:43.34,
2:04.30, and 1:55.64. But I'm quite proud of my 4th lap! This is
just my 3rd evening with GPL. (They shouldn't make simulators like
this. :-)

Try to download the new OpenGL patch that you can find at

miracles ;)

And now I've got that... Wow! Nearly 30 fps with the highest
resolution and all graphics on! Well, of course not the "driver's
hands", I can see my own... :-)

That's what I thought, too. But I found out the hands aren't
completely useless: the wheel and the hands will give you an optical
indication about being on the edge of traction. They will "shake" once
you're about to loose grip. Quite useful, actually. Give it a try. :)
