Yeah - give up. You can't run an F2 full season(or F3, for that matter). But, you can run each race seperately, and keep track on paper...

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to run a whole championship season using Advanced Trainers in GPL? I've amended the player.ini file to run against F2 AI in single races, but on starting a season it sticks me into a full-blown F1 car. Any suggestions? Cheers, Rick.

I'm afraid that you will always be in an F1 car in championship mode, no matter what you edit. This is hard coded into the game and there is no fix. You CAN do what many of us do though. Keep track of the points with a pencil and paper, just like they did in '67.
from Alison's site: 5.3 Why can't I race against the AI while driving a Trainer? Actually, you can. You have to change one small item in your player.ini file. I recommend you create a new player just for racing in each of the Trainers. For example, I have three drivers: Alison Hine (for the GP car), Ali-F2 Hine (for the Advanced Trainer), and Ali-F3 (for the Basic Trainer). Once you've created the extra player or two, open the GPL players folder (by default, C:\SIERRA\gpl\players) and then open the folder for one of the training players. For example, I would open C:\SIERRA\gpl\players\Hine__Ali-F2. Now, using a text editor, edit the file called player.ini. Look for a parameter called driverRating. It's in the [ Personal Information ] stanza. Change the value of driverRating to 2 for the Advanced Trainer, or 1 for the Basic Trainer.
