Hi ..

I downloaded an oval track last night for GP3-2000. A nice change from
other tracks.

However, I find that my Williams car can only last 4 or 5 laps
everytime I race. I always get engine problems.

Do others experience this as well?

Thanks.

Yes seriously I was ... tried again this morning and the engine just
died after a few laps ..

so my question is: does F1 cars in GP3 & GP3 2000 not suited for oval
tracks?

I remember in a desperate attempt to enjoy GP3 early on - I tried an oval
someone made. It slowed after a few laps - this was because for some
reason - Crammond believes that after your skid-plank has worn down - it
slows the car down.

Anyhow - raise your car ride height a little - may solve the problem

This is actually a form of penalty which, if you had read the f***kng
manual, makes perfect sense.  btw  Playing oval tracks in GP3 is
sacriligious IMO. ; )

What would make sense would be for your race result to be nullified AFTER
the race if your plank wears down too much. You know - like REALITY.

I thought about reading the ***ing manual - but it's 99% the same ***ing
manual as you get with GP2 which is 80% the same ***ing manual (with the
same glaring track map errors) as you get with GP1.

Playing GP3 is sacriligous IMO - it's a pile of ***
