I have downloaded from a site a utility that is supposed to alter the number of laps in a Quick Race - qracelen. It effectively does alter the number of laps but the game still has enough fuel for its initial number of laps, whereas all the computer controlled cars have their correct fuel load. For instance in Monza I have 8 laps to go with 5 laps worth of fuel, whereas the other cars all have 8 laps of fuel. Am I doing anything wrong, is the program buggy, is there a fix ? Karim

The program isn`t buggy (if you are referring to Strobe`s utility). I think the problem arises because even if you select "decide stop srategy before race" the dialogue doesn`t come up before a quickrace. If I remeber correctly you need to select "use setup" from the drive options and then make sure the setup specifies no stops. Mark _________________________________ "..every lap I think `Oh bollocks!

In your car setup screen in practice any circuit check race setup and no pit stops. Then exit to drive menu and click quick race and the same circuit. It will load that setup. That worked for me and gives me about 1 1/2 laps more than it needs to run a 51% race on the 3 circuits I've tried it on [Monza, Spa, Brazil]. However, in my experience the computer cars do pit once. Since I almost always crash sometime before 51% or go off in the tulies so many times I get so far behind I get frustrated and start over I rarely make it to the finish but I have and it does give you a full fuel load. By the way. Going off isn't always my fault. Does anybody else have the computer cars making bonzai late braking manuvers all the time and knocking you off while they then go on merrily about their way while you slide off into the sand or guardrail? Pisses me off big time. It happens way too often.
