GPL question

Been meaning to ask this for awhile, keep forgetting :) In the "Four Wheel Drift" section where each car is described, how come there isn't a section on the Ferrari? The license was obviously attained. -John

The license was obviously attained. Possibly not before the book/game guide had to go to press, so it wasn't included at the release. Steve has commented about this issue in his advanced setup guide at http://eaglewoman.simracing.dk/gpl/index.htm. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

John, I must've answered this Q a million times. A lot of Ferrari material was in the original ms. I submitted to Papyrus, but each and every reference to the marque was excised because Papy didn't have the time or the inclination (or both) to have Ferrari vet the ms., which Ferrari had the contractual right to do. So Papy simply cut out each and every mention of the Prancing Horse...without telling me. I'm surprised the book reads as well as it does, considering no further editing was involved. All this is explained on Alison Hine's Eagle Woman site ( http://people.ne.mediaone.net/alisonnic/gpl/index.htm ), although I wouldn't follow the 3-year-old setup advice if I were you...a lot has changed since then! --Steve Smith "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

maybe, but the author says 7 cars are modeled in gpl. 5 real and 2 fantasy. then he only describes 4 real ones, and ferrari is mentioned in the rundown of makes. John Pancoast wrote:
