1. Concerning new vid cards I've seen the term, "T&L". What would that be? 2. Where are you guys getting the F12002 demo? 3. Who won the GPL clock at Goodwood? Were there organized races? Who won those? Did any pros drive it? -- "Boy! You've got to have really big attachments to try a pass there... and make it." - David Hobbs mark

Concerning new vid cards I've seen the term, "T&L". What would that be? It is built-in hardware on the new video cards called Transformation and Lighting that allows the developers to include cool new video effects without bogging down the CPU of your system, since the video card performs the operations. A good non-sim example of T&L in practice is the water effects in Morrowind--simply gorgeous (looks real) and doesn't affect your FPS or CPU usage at all. > 2. Where are you guys getting the F12002 demo? > Do a search on http://www.google.com/ for "F1 2002 demo" and you should come up with several sites. > 3. Who won the GPL clock at Goodwood?

Did any pros drive it? > It wasn't possible to time the hill climb course in GPL so no-one won. There were a couple of organised demo races. The main one was on Sunday and featured Rick Osborn, Barty Mee, Andy Wilke (all -80 handicaps or below) and Ant Miller, Glen Field and Niels at home (sorry I don't know hos surname, only his VROC name. The race was at Spa. Rick led for most of the race but Andy managed to get a tow down the hill towards Masta and pulled off a fantastic pass. It was nearly at the stage where they were going to go 2 wide through Masta but Andy somehow managed to get through before that was needed. There were no pros who raced although Ralf Schumacher made a 2 minute appearance at the tent to sign autographs. We did manage to get three of the Wacky Racers to have a race at Monza though.
