Slipstreaming in GPL .. is it simulated?

Fuji Sartono wrote Of course it is ! But watch out if you have an under-powered car and your trying to draft a Loti.. I blew my motor before the Masta Kink as I was trying to slingshot a pass with the help of the draft.. the revs were too high and boom, all I heard was the wind ;) -= 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...

I can get 8MPH higher on the straights in a draft with a lotii. Only problem is watch out for the braking zone, have to brake much earlier. Jesse

Yep. I crashed out of a battle for the lead at the Glen once because I caught a draft *just* before the braking zone... I had to pull out to avoid rear-ending him, I caught him so fast, so unexpectedly (catching someone at the end of a straight in a Brabham is *always* unexpected). I slid off the road at the Loop. When I looked at the replay, I was going 5 mph faster than when lapping alone. It is *definitely* modeled... --Dave

Only at the Nurburgring. The German word for "drive" is, of course, "fahrt." Trey Behan

Most definitely, yes, it is simulated.
