Hi I have updated gp2 with trackpak98(by Matti Laitinen), the problem is that although the tracks are updated in terms of what they look like when I am driving the number of laps and lap distance are not what they should be ie they dont match the details in the readme file for trackpak. I tried using a program called trackman(version 1.5.1) and with this I could correct all of the above plus correct the season schedule and names but this program also has a tyre wear variable that has to be filled in for each track, and I can only assume that the current values are wrong since all the other variables were wrong, now if only I knew what these tyre wear values were meant to be. I f anybody can help I would much apprciate it as I have spent many hours trying to sort this out without luck and if I dont get it sorted soon I will miss the first race of the season on a gp2 league I have joined.

1. Stay clear of GP2.COM, 2. Don't bother with tyres....... its just for realism to a real gp2 head like me but its not important. 3.put the new tracks in the newc folder in trackman folder, 4. start trackman 5.click 9 6. click 1. 7. click the a number, 1 for the first track ,2 for the second..........and press enter. 8. pick another number to replace the original, 9. type the names of the track(propmps will help you) and your set.. 10. If you still have trouble email me.

People using editors, and changing performance variables in GP2, and racing in leagues doesn't appear to go together IMHO? Maybe thats where all these *incredible* lap times come from? Change the graphics, change the team and driver names, but leave the cars performance alone.... As I said, just IMHO? *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)
surely if each competitor saved his fastest lap of the race then the league director could run HOF2LAP over it to check BHP, grip etc.. Doesn't stop cheats using slow-mo though. Although for a whole race?! btw where are these *incredible times* Bye -- Mike Wallace

He means a 1 minute 10 at Brazil, you must have a wheel, be fantastic and use the physics editor....
