Great stuff, well done and thanx to all concerned, GPL just got better. However, On my pc in GPL I don't get a track *picture* like the other original tracks? should I have pictures? I have two *new* tracks currently installed, Watkins Glen and Loudon from N2. When I flick through the available tracks I get two *extra* Monza pictures, only when you click on the little tab at the bottom right corner do you find out they are in fact the extra tracks? Also, how many tracks can GPL handle? is there a limit? if so what is the limit? I haven't looked at a season (championship) yet, do the new tracks get added to the full season? is there a limit to the no' of races in a season? When starting a race, there is no Flagman? and at the end of a race there is also no flagman? I've read other posts about the lack of flagman so I assume others also have the same thing happening? Only minor points I know, and overall this is an excellent little utility, many thanx. Oh, one last thing, what sort of times are people getting at these tracks (I know its early days yet, but I'de like some sort of guide to measure my own progress against!) I've only tried *new* WG for about 4 laps and only managed about 1:30:? I think? at Loudon I managed 0:32:35? Haven't tried the others yet..... 8-) *Peter* #:-)

I had to make sure the gp.ini and the 67season.ini file has the tracks in them and make sure the track number at the top and the number of tracks is the same. That worked for me, now I have track pictures for all the new tracks in the selector window. Mick
