How to race F3 cars

There has been a bit of interest shown in F3 racing, so for those of you who are not familiar with how to race them, this is a simple explanation of how to.. Make up a new driver. eg: if your name is Joe Blow, call your new driver: Joe_f3 Blow Then edit the PLAYER.INI file in the: PLAYERS\Joe_f3 Blow folder. Change the line that says: driverRating = 3 to driverRating = 1 That line is located under: [ Personal Information ] Save it, and you are ready to race a F3 car.. Just use the Joe_f3 Blow driver every time you want to race the F3 cars on-line, or off-line for that matter... Hope that helps.. Cheers, Ron

Thanks Rick Sweeney

Ron Ayton wrote good advice on how to drive F3 in GPL: Wow! It is really great to be able to drive also F3 (and F2, where that "driverRating" is 2) races! The AI really uses those cars, too. I won my first F3 AI-race of 19 opponents in Monza! J. Brabham was second, G. Hill 3rd, and J. Clark only 4th... Perhaps my desperate practising of F1 races has been a good practice for F3! ;-) And in Watkins Glen L. Bandini could drive his F3 Ferrari in qualifying in time 1:14:63! How can that be possible? Well, I was only 11th with my 1:27:72, no clean laps... Didn't try the race yet... Then I tried F2 in Glen, and how funny: it really felt a real racing car after F3. I just wonder, what will happen, when I go back to F1.. :) Really great to be able to multiply GPL by 3! Two new simulators to race! Arto

I also have followed the instructions below and I am able to do races with F3 cars, but I am not able to run an F3 championship. Does anyone know what can be done about it? Greetings, Han Monsees
