Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of the available tracks for GTL? I notice that the current Nurburgring GP track is available, but is the full Nordschleife available?? I am currently working my way slowly through the Cup Challenge. I assume that more tracks (and cars) become available as you progress. How do other people find the AI? I find only the top level provides any challenge. The V8 GTs (Mustang, Falcon/Futura) do not seem anywhere near fast enough on the straights, in comparison to the Cortina and Mini. I know the Lotus Cortinas are fast (I have raced one), but here in New Zealand, all the V8s (Mustang, Futura, Bonneville) race away from the four cylinder cars on the straights. They are quicker on all the tracks, even the tighter tracks. I 'spose the new grippy tyres, and new technology in the 'replacement' components could make a significant difference. The '64 'stang I rode in on the track certainly handled better than the representation in the game. Anyone got under 3 minutes for Spa in the Lotus Cortina? My best is 3:02 using the default setup. I'm also playing Richard Burns Rally. My GPL and N2003 are sitting very lonely on my HD - don't seem to have the time for them. The new games (GTL & RBR) seem to be a big improvement in the area of graphics and physics (and enjoyment!). Now I just need a decent wheel and pedals (<US$300). -- RocketMan

The AI Mustang and Falcon seem a bit slow to keep the pack together in my view. Online the difference is more pronounced. Some tracks like Donington are well balanced whilst others either favour the nimble cars or faster ones. To keep the cup challenges close the ai are artificially close IMHO. Cheers Tony
