The GPL book makes no mention of the Ferrari, what are the details of the cars, they sound awesome but are a handful to drive, I don't know what kind of tires they used, but it seems to take seversl laps (at least) to warm them to the point where they will grip.

At the time the GPL manual went in printing, Ferrari Scuderia wasn't licensed for Grand Prix Legends, so Steve had to take off all mention of it in the book. Still, at this website : http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/smith.htm Steve Smith (the author of the strategy book) has wrote an addendum to the book at this website. Oh and be sure to check out the rest of Alison's website at : http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/ -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

After reading Brock Yates book on Enzo Ferrari, One thing kinda suck out. His engines made big hp, but sometimes his chassis left a lot to be desired handling wise. Also Enzo has been quoted as saying people who needs Areodynamics can not build a proper motor. Dave t>...
All tyres of that are took some miles of hard driving to warm up. The *** compound was significantly different to the compounds used now...much harder and longer-wearing, which meant more work was needed to get them warm. Remember also that they were all treaded....no slicks. It was common for one set of tyres to be used not only for practice but also the race. > The GPL book makes no mention of the Ferrari, what are the details of the > cars, they sound awesome but are a handful to drive, I don't know what kind > of tires they used, but it seems to take seversl laps (at least) to warm > them to the point where they will grip. -- Regards, Bruce. ---------- HMRC Web site address is:- http://www2.tpg.com.au/users/brucek/hmrc/index.htm ----------
