rec.autos.simulators

Has anyone written a comprehensive, step by step tutorial on how to
set up a car in GPL and how each setting will effect the cars
performance?

The setups that are out there are very good, but obviously the driving
styles vary considerably and even the best setup for, say Allison,
needs to be adjusted to my style.

I thought I had a site with just such a tutorial, but can't find it..

Thanks

Dave Schwab's site the Aussie Toad http://users.wi.net/~schwabe/ has some
excellent and interesting things to say about setting up the Repco-Brabham
on his Chassis Tips page.
Alternatively you can go to http://gpl.gamesmania.com/fastlaps.htm and
download some replays and setups which you can study and tweak.
I have just raced with Sid Chapple's Eagle, and having been comprehensively
thrashed, I switched to the Eagle, and I find his setups suit me. For the
Lotus try Ian Lake's setups
Hope this helps.

Hey Dave, you were #1 on my PDPI list, you still want it?

Thanks,  I saw the site Chris. I just wanted simple straightforward
explanations of the relationship between an adjustment in the GPL
Garage and what result each has on the track, not a reliving of my
worst Physics nightmares!! LOL

Will check out Aussie Toads and see whats there....

There used to be an awesome setup page for GP2 on Pieter's (now Sjon's)
site. I think it was D. Arnao who wrote it, but that was awhile ago, and I'm
getting senile. Just dump the part about the wings, and you'll have your
basic relationships down pat.

Actually putting them into practice, however...  =)

I don't know if it's still there. Doesn't hurt to look, I guess.

It sure is, it's now run by Marc, and its new address is
http://www.grandprix2.com though the old one still works.
