Yes they are! This has been discussed in detail in a thread started by Glenn Andressen on 4th April, called "GPL: Why is the pit board a lap behind?". The short answer is "because that's the way it was in 1967". If this thread is no longer on your news-server, try looking for it at www.deja.com Ian Ian Riches Bedford, UK

when you cross the start/finish line in GPL, is the lap time shown for the lap just completed, or the previous lap? is there any option to change the way GPL displays lap times? is it the same in every mode, e.g. training, single race, championship? <remove 7of9 for e-mail replies> -- Bill Jones e-mail addresses: Computer Sciences Corp.

There's a bit of a thread here about that, Bill....or was up to a couple of days ago. You can change it by editing some lines in each Track.ini file to move the bloke with the board. See if you can find the thread...I can't remember its exact Subject header, sorry. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Bill Jones <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8cktj8$dqg$[email hidden]... > when you cross the start/finish line in GPL, is the lap time shown for the > lap just completed, or the previous lap? is there any option to change the > way GPL displays lap times? > > is it the same in every mode, e.g. training, single race, championship? > > > <remove 7of9 for e-mail replies> > > -- > Bill Jones e-mail addresses: > Computer Sciences Corp.
