Out of the 11 tracks, I have 1 PB with Brabham(Zand), 1 with the Eagle(spa), 4 with Ferrari(Monaco, N-ring, Silv, WG), and 5 with Lotus(Kyal, Mex, Monza, Mosport, Rouen). I'm not sure exactly what that says about my driving skils, though.<g> When I *did* use the Brabham, it was in a full season. Going through the season, I lowered my PB at the time on every track. I certainly didn't expect that, considering I'd never driven it before... Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +51.31 Never argue with an idiot.

As a new GPLer I have found that I am completely inept at setting up the cars. I seem to just go from bad to worse, i have been tweaking for months and can only get down to 1:31:08 at Monza in my Brabham. Does anyone know of a good place to download setups for the Brabham, so I hopefully don't have to go through this laborious process at all the tracks, as it is all I drive ( good enuff fer Sir Jack, good enuff fer me!) Thanks in advance Mick

I've got to agree with Eldred, I find the Brabham quite easy to drive using Ali Hine's settings. The Lotus is the quickest (except at Spa) but also the most difficult IMHO -- Trevor Nb Lady Elgar - Grand Union Canal

One of my first mulitplayer races with VROC and GPL was in a Brabham at SPA. Guess what? I won....everyone wrecked and exited..hahah but they spent the last two laps watching me try and unlap myself and laughing at my efforts...haven't sat in a Brabham since...:) dave henrie "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > > >> The Brabham is the hardest?

Pretty traumatic experience, huh?<g> Update: I beat my Zandvoort time with a Cooper, of all things... :) Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +51.31 Never argue with an idiot.
