GPL Setups

What do people think of dodgy setups in GPL ? By hex editing the .lo1,.fe1, etc. files, it is very easy to create some truly non-realistic setups, and I was wondering whether this is acceptable for hotlaps/online ? Driving a 10" ride height with 1200lb springs at the Pants Ring was quite bizarre... Opinions on a postcard... Phil

Please don't do this, I think it will mess up online racing... Put your energy in something more important, you know what I'm talking about :) Andre Andre On Wed, 26 Apr 2000 15:12:21 +0100, Phil Flack <[email hidden]> wrote:

My vote goes in here, too. The online fairness is what GPL is good for, and I do not want this ruined. Gregor Andre Warringa wrote:

Hmmm.. bad wording on my part there... Maybe a strange freudian slip? Phil Remco Moedt wrote:

Well, we can tie a rock around his neck and throw him in the water and see if he floats. If he floats he's a heretic and we'll burn him. If he sinks then he's innocent and we'll leave him alone. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

What, GRE? Well, where in the world do you use those super-stiff setups? Hmm...oh yeah! THE PANTSRING OF ALL PLACES!!!! (And it's the ONLY way you can get around the pantsring without bottoming ALL the time 5", 300lb/in front, 400 lb/in rear) So I'm cheating...AT THE PANTSRING!!!!
