Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this, I remember this corner from
F1GP1 also. I'll give your suggestion a try about less front wing.

I agree with you there, I think the handling and the AI are
much improved and I really like the new aggressiveness that the
AI drivers show, no longer will they back off in a turn just because
I shove the nose of my car where it shouldn't be.

Bristol is also my favorite of the oval tracks, it still amazes me
that real cars race in a bowl like that ;)

Lets hope that Papyrus realizes that here is still a demand for
ICR3 with new smarter AI, real curbs and brakes that lockup like GP2.
Out of all the racing sims I own, my favorite place to race is still
Elkhart Lake.

Cheers.
