[GPL] New Offline tournament

Hi all, a brief note to let you know that at http://www.it.forix.com/gpl there is an offline tournament with the good old GPL. Main purpose of the tournament is to learn to drive better, to analyze preformances and discuss setups, for this instance we hired Ricardo Nunnini, the setup guru. Races are run at 75% of the original GP length, with improved ai performance. You are all welcomed. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

AGS in 1987 (damn, there goes a quiz question...). There's quite a good page about him (including a picture of the... ahem... "interesting" livery used at Monaco) here: http://www.crosswinds.net/~f1rejects/drivers/fabre/ I heartily recommend the whole F1 Rejects site, BTW - great fun. -- David.
