Before I mention the race, I'll start with the ending.. .. I won a Championship race at Pro level (100% race) and the ending is abysmal!! No video, no animations, well, just that 3 second clip that you see even if winning the Quick race. In GP1 there were extra animations for a top three positions in a championship race but it seems to me that GP" has no 'visual reward' for a win. If I actually win the season it strikes me that this kind of imagination will just produce the words 'GAME OVER. ;-) Seriously, I note there is an anim folder which contains the files 'Trophy.smk, Season.smk and WinChamp.smk' Are these reserved for the end of the season and is there really is no video for winning in the Championship? Maybe there is a bug here? Anyway, Being the mad passionate fool that I am, I decided on a Pro championship season with full realism. I crashed out in Brazil but Pacific was something else... In the lead, 2/3 of the way through and preparing for a pit stop, Engine problem, revs drop and I nurse the car around Hair Pin corner. get to Redman corner and see black smoke in my mirrors. Switch to external view, am on fire. I make it to the pits and (unrealistically but happily) its all fixed pronto. Back in race in seventh place, chasing Alesi, Bang his engine goes on a corner, -no sound effect tho :-( and Alessi is history. Later chasing Coulthard for 3rd place, Bang - Berger who was in second is in flames, pass the wreckage and move up a place. I eventually win because I nudged Schu (sorry pal) into the gravel on the last lap. - Hey, maybe the program is really m***and wouldn't give me a video cos I won using Damon Hill tactics <g> Did have a small problem staying on the track at Pacific tho, not because of the car but because I kept noticing such great graphic touches as the flash of cars or marshall flags up in the hills when I was down in the lower part of the course. Well, I wonder what Imola will hold for me, not a great winning/losing anim, that much I know - Never was one to let all the plus points get in the way of one minus point <vbg> Vroom vroom BANG whoosh ***it ***it. I crashed out at Interlagos but wo9n my second race -

There is an animation on my CD, although I haven't won yet you can see it's there almost 20 megs worth. Should be pritty cool but have to win first. Cu Steve
