First of all, let me say that GPL is an awesome sim. I haven't had a chance to really get to know it yet, but I really like what I've seen so far. I do have a couple wishes, though: 1) For Papyrus to put out an add-on to add the banked version of Monza. I don't know how hard that would be, but wouldn't it be cool? I just have visions of the movie Grand Prix going through my head. 2) Not having Jackie Stewert in the game sticks out like a sore thumb. How hard would it be to hack him in? Cooper and Honda for that matter, as well. 3) And what about privateers? Every car/driver seems to be a factory effort. I'm pretty sure that there were a few private entries in every race. Rob Walker, for instance. Oh well. The sim would still rock without these additions, but they're just a thought. CHRIS

wev'e been wishing for the banking for almost a year, keep wishing. as for stewart, cooper and honda they have been hacked in. i don't recall quite how but it was posted at the apex a week ago. gpl.gamestats.com as for privateers and other driver "inaccuracies " as papy clearly says it is modeled after the 67 era and with all the changes that took place throughout the real season they simply settled on this. there are a number of "inaccuracies but for me they are easy to overlook because of the fantastic graphics and unbelievably fun yet difficult driving physics model. enjoy.

Technically, they didn't run on the banking at Monza in 1967. So, Papyrus is being accurate. It would be a hell of a lot of fun, though. chris
