Just being curious: what's the top speed anyone has ever reached in GPL? What track? I recently acquired version 0.3.9 of the GPL track editor thingy and started toying with it a bit. Alas, track editing doesn't seem to be quite functional yet: I tweaked Watkins Glen a "bit", and tested it in my Ferrari, only to notice myself driving on what looked like the physical horizon. I drove a couple of hundred yards, on first gear, then apparently hit something invisible and flew to the sky, engine burning, with a meagre takeoff velocity of 732 kmh. .) I know that can hardly be called legitimate, but at least it made a very cute replay. +Cinquo [actual record 322kmh @ Masta]

Aaaaaaahh. Sounds very familiar! I take it you've only edited the .trk ? Phil > +Cinquo [actual record 322kmh @ Masta]
