Hi, What sort of improvements are people getting in their laptimes with the final version of GPL? Do setup changes make a big difference? At present my best laps with the demo are 1m08.97 at the 'Glen and 1m31.98 at Monza. Hopefully I'll be able to improve so I can race with the AI cars competitively!

I am concentrating at Monza at the moment and I have been able to shave almost 3 second off my time with just some minor tweaks (I wasn't that hot with the demo). The really good thing, is that with a setup to match my driving style, I am alot more consistent. Practice 1:30.36.1 Race 1:30.57.0 -- **************************** Michael E.

Well I my best with the demo was um, 1:34 something, but now Im using the ferrari and I got 1:32.78, and with the lotus I got 1:32.26. The Ferrari is my own setup, and the lotus is the one of Dave Mansell's page. Julian

Those are nice lap times with that crumby setup. You'll do very nicely. I just ran an intermediate race at Monza, and your time would have certainly been in the top 10, probably more like 6 or 7. I think you'll find you will need to aclimate yourself to the new default setup for a while, even before you begin tinkering with it. I find it quite different. You're gonna have SOME fun.
