BRM setups by Eagle Woman

I'm publishing another collection of setups, this time for the Beast of Bourne. The BRM is a fascinating car, dramatically different from all the other cars in several significant ways. With a good setup, the shrieking H-16-engined monster is a joy to drive, and Patrick's wonderful BRM V-16 sound dramatically enhances the experience. I can't think of many greater sensual pleasures in GPL than hurling the BRM around Rouen, wailing up the hill through the trees, flinging it around the long glorious undulating corners. Furthermore, the Beast has a significant strategic advantage which, if you can capitalize on it, makes it possible to beat considerably faster cars. It's not all that slow, either; my quick times in the BRM at some tracks are faster than my best times in the Coventry and Murasama. Almost everywhere else it's very close. Its short wheelbase makes the BRM much more responsive than the long-wheelbase Coventry and Murasama, and I feel this makes it another excellent step in the learning ladder to mastering the lightweight "glamour cars". Unleash the Beast in your computer! Go to my site: http://nh.ultranet.com/~alson/gpl/ Check the Setups page under Help for details, or go straight to the new BRM page from the News page.

I'm absolutely wearing out your Cooper setups I like them so much! The Ferrari is still a bit much for me to handle, so it is with great anticipation that I download your new setups (I can't seem to find the time for developing my own: I'm using it all for practice). With two kids and a wife that just plain doesn't understand my fascination with these old cars, your work on the Cooper (and now the BRM) is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Mikey

No offense, but I personally find the BRM too much of a dog to drive, but then again, I started with the Brabham....speaking of which, are there any setups for the Brabham at the Glen? -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652

Very nice setups! And when using the wonderful new engine sound, also BRM started being a decent racing car. I enjoyed a lot driving in Monza and Zanvoort. And also Alison's explanation of the car, its characteristics and the setups were very enlightning. I could really feel the heavyness, short wheelbase, etc. Thank you Alison for making also BRM an interesting choice in GPL! Arto

LOL! Thanks, Edwin! I'm afraid my flying fingers must have been flying a little too fast that day. Alison

But have you tried it with my setups? Using the BRM, I've nearly equaled or bettered my best times with the Murasama and Coventry at most tracks. It feels slow on acceleration but that's because it doesn't get as much wheelspin as the other cars. It's actually very powerful. Just in case someone wants to try the BRM setups, here's my URL again: http://nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/ Alison

These are fantastic set-ups. I love the BRM (for totally not-racing reasons) and now at last, I may not be winning too many races but I am competing! BTW what are the chances that GPL 1.1 will include an option to save games nature of my job means that I can seldom guarantee 2.5 + hours of uninterrupted play! Once again, thanks for the great set-ups...those of you who have steered clear of the BRM really ought to try it once more with these set-ups. Jeffery
