I was wondering if there is a way to drive the distance of the Indy 500 with GPL. The maximum amount of fuel is for 100+ lap, is this the limit? I would like to drive the full distance. If anyone could help me with this. Many thank's

hehe.. F3 cars use less fuel! I think it was like 1/3rd or 2/3rds less then an F1(?) Fuel isn't your problem though! It's the number of laps. I don't recall what the number of laps are in the Indy500 but GPL will only recognize 128 laps(?) I've never done so many laps in one race so I don't know what happens when you reach that mark. Sure would be fun to run a race that many laps though :-) We used Int-Long races for our leagues. At just about every race I've entered I'd see the checkard flag what seemed way too soon. I've only finished one GP length race (silerstone) online. Even that was a bit short. btw: If you park your car in the pits next to your pit sign, you can take a breather and then continue the race. You'll be a few laps down from the field when you start again but....

I'm not sure but such thing was fixed in a patch Mike. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
