I've been a long time ICR/ICR2 user and have recently purchased GPL. I've been enjoying running the Brabahm at Watkins Glen, but the one feature I really miss that ICR had was being able to see my lap times while I was practicing, qualifying, or racing. I don't think GPL supports this option, however, does anyone have a patch to do this? Thanks, Glenn

In practising and qualifying, your pit crew show you a pit board after each lap showing your time for the previous lap not the one you are now completing. In races the pb shows you the laps you have remaining and your position and who was behind and in front and by how much at the end of the previous lap. This means that the pb data is quite out of date and that you will not get a pit board at the end of the first lap. At circuits like Spa where you drive almost a whole lap before you start your first complete lap, you will not see a pit board for 3 laps - over 10 minutes. Paul

There was a post with a way to modify the track.ini file so that the pit board would be just after the finish line and show the lap that was just completed. I cant remember what was changed or where to get the info, so if someone else knows maybe they can repost it. Lutrell

Go to the [ pit_lane_0 ] stanza and find the line: pit_board = 9.0 3953.4 -100.0 100.0 (this one is for Kyalami)..... Change the 3953.4 to 300.0, and ditto for the other tracks. Don't forget to back up ya track.ini files just in case. Happy Lappin' Phil
