That's not to say you're stuck with the original 11, however: The product that you've seen discussed a lot here recently is Dave Noonan's track converter, which costs UKP15 and can be found here: http://www.sim-garage.co.uk/ This is from DN's description of the program: >The converter takes a total of 21 tracks from Papyrus�s ICR2/CART, N2/N1999, >N3, and NL and converts them to GPL format.

There is a free demo version available from the site, which converts Phoenix and Loudon from ICR2/CART, and Hickory, Homestead, Loudon and Watkins Glen from N2. These demo tracks have no flag marshals and less good AI. The latest "proper" (ie authentic) track for GPL is Snetterton, which has been produced by the GPLEA, and is available for FREE download here: http://www.gpl.netti.nu/snetterton/download/snettload.html Please read their readme (twice!) before downloading, or it probably won't work properly. The other place to get tracks (and a superb resource in any case - bookmark it now!) is The US Pits, which you can find here: http://www.theuspits.com/owheel/gpl/gpl.html Here you can find Dave Noonan's free tracks, as follows: Dubai (a made-up track) Brands Hatch Oesterreichring I think that's it (phew!) There doesn't appear to be a page that has links to all of these (why the heck doesn't the US Pits carry a link to the GPLEA's Snetterton page - or is that another "GPaL comment"? ;-) ), so keep an eye out on this NG! -- David.

Is it true that there is a track extension pack for GPL? Also, does anyone know how to change the damage model for the AI cars - they seem to get away with some awful incidents whereas my car gets obliterated. Cheers Alan

>Dubai (a made-up track) Just thought I would point out there is actually a Dubai GP track; though it bears very little resemblance to DN's track. Go here for a map of the real track... http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/dubai.html So really the GPL Dubai is something like the mock BTCC/STW/Aussie Supercar tracks for TPTCC. Chris

Many thanks David - that lot should keep me busy!
