GPL: Laguna and Indy Observations

1 post by 1 person · 27 Mar 2000 - 27 Mar 2000

Whoa, when I first left the pits I thought I was still in my Reynard at Laguna. Didn't take long to see that the engineers had removed all traces of downforce and 4th and 5th gear turns were, uh, not gonna happen. My biggest "life flashing in front of my face" was when I crested the climb to the corkscrew WITHOUT applying the brakes on the uphill climb ..... nuff said there. One tough track to drive. Indy was another flash to my eyes. After a couple of laps I'm tooling along the front straight, profiling for Tony and a special woman that I had spotted in the crowd on my previous lap. See a car coming out of the pits, no problem, move a little towards the wall then WHAM! Guess the AI like to move DIRECTLY to the racing line when exiting the pits. Looks like the Nascar rule needs to be used here. When you see a car leaving the pits, aim for them unless they are in the racng line already... The wonderful historical tracks of Snett, O-Ring and Brands now with all the many Papy tracks have made GPL just an amazing piece of entertainment. Thanks, Dave, Allison and the GPLEA artists and engineers. Jeff
