New to Grand Prix Legends

there are a couple of ovals available at the PITS. I think you will enjoy your purchase. I got mine at Christmas and have been playing it non stop since Tony

Welcome to the world of no sleep, no social life (except for a chat screen), and lots and lots of take-out food<g>. You might find these sites helpful: http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/ - Alison Hine, the queen of set-ups - Many a GPL racer has started out with her setups - read about her new Ferrari setups. http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc/ - The place for online racing http://gpl.gamestats.com/ - The Apex, a good site but not updated much - a very good Forum for GPL http://www.theuspits.com/ - the home of the converter needed to use tracks from ICR2 and N2 with GPL. At this time there are only 4 tracks available - many other add ons and links for GPL and nearly every other sim available.

Thomas, consider this an intervention. Oh sure, you say now, I can control it, I can race anytime I want to, I can walk away anytime I want to. I control GPL, it doesn't control me. And it's just a little harmless fun right? Doesn't harm a soul, does it. HAH! So you think you're just going to "get the hang" of the Ring, right? And then you'll go play something else, maybe Alpha Centuri or European Air War, right? HAH! Since I got GPL I've done nothing else, Thomas. I spend hours at the wheel trying to squeeze that extra second out of my time at MonzaWatkinsGlenMexicoMonacoRouen ... and the Ring ... and now it's Brand's Hatch. IT WILL NEVER END I SAY! RUN, THOMAS, RUN WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME. It's {sob} ... it's too late for us, but you still have {snork ... (a snork has a large nasal element, you don't want to know)} you still have a chance. {shudder} ... shudder ... like the shudder I get at the entrance to Big Bend at the Glen ... ... Say ... maybe if I try a 10/30 ratio with Alison's Ferrari setup I can ... gotta run ... Joe

I've just bought myself a copy of Grand Prix legends. What an excellent simulator! I've spent all day in front of the computer racing today. It's taking me a while to get used to the controls and physics of the cars. I can see how I will be playing this for many months to come! I've seen Brands Hatch and have downloaded it from The Pits, but are there any other tracks available yet? I'm especially pleased with the full legth 'Ring, but boy is it a challenge!

Joe, you've made me re-live it, argh! THE PAIN! argh! ........ going out of the house is getting SO hard, i constantly feel the need to grip that wheel, push them pedals, 'feel' the power, 'hear' that engine, WOW, what the hell am I doing? I MUST PLAY IT NOW! BYE!

LOL. Know exactly what you mean. I need a break from sim racing so badly it's a joke. I almost hate GPL for the grip it has on me :) I'll bet by the time I find the strength to walk away that GP3 comes along. Where does it all end?!

So I take it you're a fan of Grand Prix Legends then? [L.O.L!] I am unfortunately beginning to feel the effects of this Grand Prix Legends ***iveness Syndrome. It's constantly on my mind. I moved onto the Formula 1's today, and hit 1:11.59 on Watkins Glen. Not bad for a beginner, I suppose, but from what I have seen in this newsgroup there are many faster racers. I'm sure only practice, and keen setup management will help. Thomas Ford "Please remove NOSPAMMING from e-mail address to reply"

World record is 1:03.61 - now you know what to aim for!

Hi Thomas, for the lap records go to "the fast lane" and get depressed. Jens BTW: After having GPL right from the beginning I'm STILL depressed <snip>> <snip> --------------------------------------------- Remove "NOSPAM" before using my email-address
