Hello for the first time. Recently I installed GPL and started to enjoy the game. In order to enjoy even more please tell me where could I find all relevant data about this game - setups, tracks and all other data thanks in advance regards Dino Besen

It depends on your driving style.

Her setups are excellent ones to begin with, and can take you a long way. It's here: http://eaglewoman.simracing.dk/gpl/index.htm If you'd like some slightly more aggressive setups, Roland Ehnstr�m's are excellent. I use these for most car/track combinations, and like them a lot. You can get them here: http://hem.passagen.se/passport/practical/setups.html Tracks: lots of these about now. The following URL has an up-to-date list. I highly recommend Le Mans Sarthe, Solitude and Goodwood: http://simracingconnection.virtualave.net/gpl/tracks.html And here are two of the best general sites, with all sorts of goodies to download: The US Pits: http://www.theuspits.com/owheel/gpl/index.html Grand Prix Legends Editors' Association: http://www.gplea.org I started in the Grand Prix (generally known here as "F1") car, but you might try the Advanced Trainer ("F2") if you want a little less power to handle. I'd recommend you don't drive the Novice Trainer ("F3") car, as its handling is very different from the other two models. Assuming you're jumping straight into F1, the Ferrari is a great car to learn with, as it's reasonably stable and is competitive enough to stick with for a long time. And, of course, once you can keep the car on the track you'll want to race online, which is *enormous* fun. It's very easy to set up; go here for all the info you need: http://www.vroc.net Once you have a valid time on all 11 original tracks, you can also get a "GPLRank handicap", which compares your performance with other peoples'. Hungary are top of the Nations' Cup right now, so you can be proud of that :-) http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de There's loads more, but I'll go on for 2000 lines if I'm not careful, so I'd better stop now.

Some setups are EXTREMELY fast, for certain types of drivers, others feel like junk, but then you look at times set with them and it is for real. Some of the fastest GPLers use the default setups. You kinda have to examine your skill in GPL and determine what your needs are. Setups by Allison Hine tend to be stable and neutral, very predictable. Setups by Gregor Huttu are dang near undrivable unless you have a very firm grasp of GPL. Ask 50 users here what their favorite setups are, and you'll probably get 30 to 40 different answers. First get comfortable with a certain car and setup, then start shopping around, eventually you will find a setup author that matches your driving style and zoom! Off you go. dave henrie > >
