G'Day Guy's For the last month or so, since Dave Noonan's great converter i have been racing on and off on oval tracks,Totally bloody awesome,talk about powersliding,this type of racing has it's own brand of skill and subleties,if you want to jump into a high powered machine and really learn to reach the limit of grip well these are the tracks to do it.IMHO i think if Papy released GPL 2 with a mixture of road and oval tracks,easier interface they would have an instant winner for the simple reason that the newbie to sim racing would access an oval to start with,to get the feel of the car and to be racing instantly!!! which has been the major turn off for newbie's or people who just want to drive fast,they have had to spend a lot of time learning a track and the car,well some would say so what!! i had to but most people today have'nt the time or patience.Please Dave Noonan,in that large list of tracks i'm sure people have asked for can you add some more ovals.

What about the interface don't you like? I think it's the best I've run across. Very simple and straight forward. Only 4 clicks away from the main screen to the track. There are so many games that make you fight to get going (NFS, TOCA2, SCGT) that I find GPL's simplicity refreshing. "skell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3972dd5c$0$[email hidden]...
