GPL (NOT DEMO RELATED!)

I know there are GP 1,2 and 3 cars, but is there still going to be a pacecar of some description to go round and learn the tracks with? If this is answered in the demo, I'm sorry for wasting your time, otherwise someone must know Steve

I'm not sure if there will be a pace car to learn the tracks with but the GP3 car (140 H.P.) is slow enough to easily learn the tracks without worrying about looping. I also recommend that you use the All American Racers Eagle chassis first as it is the most stable and forgiving chassis of the three in the demo. The BRM is next and the Lotus is the most knife edged chassis. To help you make those first laps I have written a Track Guide for the GP3 car at Watkins Glen. The guide contains suggested gears, braking points, and racing lines. I will be writing a guide for the GP2 and GP cars in the next day or so. There is also a replay with a lap in a GP Lotus and a replay with a lap in the GP3 Lotus so you can compare it to your own efforts. You can find all of this stuff an more at The APEX - GPL HQ http://gpl.gamestats.com Thanks John

The best way to learn the tracks is to just drive around them. I'm not sure if there was a pace car of any type back in '67... I wasnt even born till a decade later. Brian Short

if the sim is accurate there is no pace car in GP racing all starts are standing starts from the grid and yellow flags are usually yellow only in the local area of an incident. by the way any ideas as to if it should use European white flag (emergency vehicle on track) or American (last lap) Snip I'm not sure if >there was a pace car of any type back in '67...
