Is it possible, your add-ons slow down Frame - rate?
It runs very well on my system (Cel. 333, Vodoo2, 128 MB,...). after
installing, the frame rate drops after 1 or 2 laps down to 8-12 fps !

You can visit the "feminine" tack anytime and drive around (so i did),
without spending money for that. Its not so legal but nobody takes care!
(O.K. sometimes some cops :-o )
Ahh - But beware of the bikes ;-)

Oh I dunno, it would be a novelty! I saw everything from SEAT to
Subaru, from Ferrari to Fiesta. There seemed to be little or no
restriction on the car you could drive, although I daresay a Rockwood
camper might raise a few eyebrows!
The problems you find are actually very similar to what professional
racers say about Le Mans - inexperienced drivers often don't see you
or don't know how or where to let someone pass, and the huge
difference in performance between the fastest and slowest cars means
the closure rates can be huge!
Cheers!

Have you just dropped them in the track folder, or packed them into the
dat?
If anybody else have experienced this, I'd like to know; I was informed
by the guys at the Track editor project that it could not do anything to
FPS..because:
The first lap, the track details load into the RAM, the next lap, they
are "pulled out of memory, and not drawn again", so if your FPS drops on
the first lap, there may be a problem, buit if it happens after a while,
there is something else happening.
Does this happen at all tracks?
Thanks,
Matt

Yup, but how satisfying it is when you learn how to do those corners! I thought I
had a good grip
on Spa in GPL, until I did a league race, and the leaders were fighting doing 1.19s
versus my 1.22s! So I studied their lines, and voila:)
Agree to the full - but one is allowed to be a bit "romantic"?
Yup, but remember, if the tracks were death traps, what were the cars? Suicide
machines...
Err, I think Suzuka and Spa and Canada are real circuits. As for the others, any
british club circuit
is far more interesting :) You should have been to the old Mondello Park Boss race,
and witness F1 cars struggling to beat Formula Opel Lotus (with good drivers, yeah!)
Agree, Monaco is just a pic of the modern F1--all glam...
Well, here's to CART 3 ! 8)

You read Autosport lately Paul? The British GP could be back to Brands
by 2001...... Which would sort me out since the place is about 20
minutes drive from my home :-)

Here's to Brands getting the GP, I may go back across the pond to catch it, last time I was
at the Brit GP
was in 86 at Brands (yikes! that long ago??)

You are surely joking here? Brands and Donnington could maybe be
bought up to GP standard (they used to be GP standard when GP standard
was much more lax) but Oulton? It's a great circuit but most of it is
not wide enough for 2 F1 cars side by side even if they were
co-operating. Where exactly would the overtaking spot be? Touring Cars
and F3s find it hard to pass at Oulton. Add to that the fact that for
the Touring Cars this year the congestion going into Oulton was terrible
- for a GP you'd have to set off driving the previous week. The average
city inner-ring road would be a more suitable F1 venue than Oulton.
Which is not to say it's not a great circuit - it is - but not for F1.
Incidentally, did you see Autosport this week? Bernie saying that
Silverstone does not have a god given right to the British GP and he'll
move it to Brands if they don't improve things.
