Just picked up the game and would like to start doing some laps. Which car would you recommend I begin with to get a feel of the game? I see there are a few cars but would like to have something I can stay on the track with. thanks for the help Mike
Start in an F2 or F3 i.e. Advanced or Basic trainer. The F1s are monsters. But when you must drive F1, the Ferarri is relatively easy and sounds fantastic. Mark Lee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

The Cooper (or Coventry in GPL) is almost universally regarded as the friendliest car. Go to: alison.simracing.com/gpl to download some very driveable Cooper setups, and to read up on everything else you might want to know about GPL. Bye, Leo
The Honda (murasama) is really docile, the Cooper (coventry) is easy too and the BRM can be chucked around with wild abandon if your on the agressive side. Circuit wise Silverstone and Monza are the easiest to start with. now you've tasted the delights of GPL you can kiss your free time goodbye Have fun -- Some Call Me Tim
Definitely Cooper (coventry), and best not to mess with setups yet, apart from maybe reducing the fuel load. I still use the default setups even now, and I've been playing GPL on and off since the day it was released. Best tracks to start with - monza, watkins glen and silverstone. Monza is by far the easiest. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I shudder to think what my ranking would be if I went back to default settings...<g> Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +28.67...F2 +151.26...
