I'm glad everyone is now enjoying the demo! I was busy all afternoon (and evening), getting the damn thing up on the web. I've only had time for 3 (yes THREE) laps because I've been so busy. I had to go to work at 9:30pm (Eastern Time), and just got back now (3:20AM).. Thanks again to Sim Racer for his generosity.. without him, I couldn't have been able to bring the world this great track so soon! Just for those who haven't yet got it, the Monza demo (track files ONLY) are available at my site (in Canada, and the first in the WORLD to have it!) http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl [address restored] , and at Edwin Solheim's the Paddock, at ( [link lost in import] in Norway. (I emailed it to him to relieve congestion on my server - I've had over 500 "hits" in the last 12 hours! ** I also have posted it to alt.binaries.simulators.autos ** for those of you who are getting slow downloads. The file is 2.0 MB, and like I said is the MONZA FILES only. You need the original demo in order to run it. This demo is available at www.papy.com . Am still not sure if the CD that "Sim Racer" has has an updated program "engine" - the original demo that we have is version ~~~0.5. I believe. I have a strong suspicion that the engine is NOT updated, it is just a new track file. I have posted instructions on my site http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl [address restored] on how to install the Monza files. Please read them and follow them CAREFULLY. I also have the Windows 98 fix instructions on my site as the original demo does not work AS IS under Windows 98... Just go to my "Files" section. One last thing.. Please visit my Italian GP page on my site, and go to the "Save Monza" section and sign the petition... this great track is about to be demolished.. (I am not getting paid 1 cent for this, and it will only take a minute of your time)... Thanks! Just curious as to how many people HAVE DONE SO... (please reply here, or email me). This great track that we are all driving right now (or will be shortly!) is about to be DEMOLISHED. Chris Balfe has started the petition so that the Italian politicians will see that enough people care to preserve this part of motor racing history. I've had over 500 hits on my web page in the last 12 hours, so hopefully EVERY ONE OF YOU have read the petition and emailed Chris to "sign" his petition. PLEASE DO IT AS A THANK YOU to me for posting the Monza demo. I would really appreciate a great response.. I know I can count on you guys. Thanks, d.b. p.s. - if anyone has any more questions about GPL (or comments on my Monza page), just ask me.. I'd be more than happy to reply!
Don't use the Monza track 'til you pay your dues and sign the petition! You might learn some interesting racing history by accident! Regards, Rick Carlson Blue Goose Pilot #177

I have downloaded the Monza circuit file and signed the petition , also posted a message regarding Monza to rec.autos.sport.f1, hopefully some of the fans over there will also sign the petition . BTW thanks to everybody concerned for the Monza circuit files . Down to the mid 1:34's if only I could put a good lap together I know I could lose a few secs. Ian P

What about not starting yet another OS religious war?
