GPL and 'Fazination'

I am new to the newsgroup, so please excuse me if this has been
covered.................

After watching the RUF Porsche video 'fazination' at the 'ring' I had to
find out more!
I first heard about GPL while looking for 'ring' information. I have now
bought the sim and am learning the track, read lots, downloaded fast laps.
It was encouraging to read that instant success is not achievable.

As an aside has anyone got a replay of a wild lap at the ring (or Watkins
glen), like the RUF Porsche i.e. no crashes but lots of slides and power
oversteer, not fast I know but shows real car control!!!!

another query is the reference in the manual to Derek Bells  6.42.2 lap, was
that on the '67' GPL circuit or the 12.9 miles it is now.

Lastly where is the best place for FAQ's. I cannot lock the front wheels via
the button(braking help off)
oh and are there any other GPL drivers who are organising a visit the track
next year???
Thanks
Paul

Hi!

Just for that question:
You can't lock the wheels that way, because if the brakes are assigned
to a button, the braking help is automatically enabled, no matter what
your setting in the options screen is. Assign brakes to an analogue
device and the wheels will lock...

Regards
Crash

For the fastest hotlaps go here: http://216.13.117.36/~schubi/fastlaps.htm

It was on the old curcuit with the exception of the straights in front of and
behind the pits. You turn right immediatley after the chicane before the pit
straight to bypass that section.
