I got sick of the car i was driving so i picked another one and just won my first race of the season, then i notice THE POINTS FOR EACH CAR ARE SEPARATE. Damnit! Is there anything i can do?

Actually what i found funny was winning the race at Darlington by a whole lap over the guy in 2nd. They all decided to pit under green a little after halfway.

Export the new paintjob, import it into the old .car file in the paintshop, and change the pertinent info in the driver screen. Changing the number may mess things up, not sure...

What's stupid is when they stay out during the yellow, then with 1 to go, they drop into the pits as the pace car is coming in.... On Thu, 26 Apr 2001 20:19:05 GMT, "boredUF" <[email hidden]> wrote:

It doesn't work like that... it lists the points for the cars twice in the points standings... so you finish the season and manually add the numbers. one set of numbers before you made the change, the 2nd since then. I'd guess if you changed the car again you'd have a 3rd set... On 02 May 2001 16:01:12 GMT, [email hidden] (EldredP) wrote:

Well, that sucks... Ok, nevermind. :) Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +27.07...F2 +151.26... Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.
Yeah, and the sad thing is, you only changed YOUR car, but it affects ALL the cars... dunno why it works like that. must have some kind of unique id number for the carset that it time/date stamped or something, and that changes, it affects everything?
