Well, right before the big GPL 1.1 patch came out, I decided to re-live the joys of GP2. And you know what, I was having a lot of fun. Well, a lot of fun except for one very annoying thing. Just the slightest touch of and inside curb would send me spinning. After this happened a few times, I seemed to recall that the real F1 cars were having this problem a few years ago and that the setups I downloaded back then were designed to mimic this behavior. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Or do I just not remember the finer points of GP2? Regardless, can anyone point me to some GP2 setups for download? I checked grandprix2.com, but it looks like they have everything except setups.

Here are some: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2922/ To change it from hotlap to race, just increase the ride height by about 5 mm front and back, and optionally reduce front wing for less oversteer and more stability. You can also take any hotlap or saved game and feed it to hof2lap (http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3987/), it wil print the setup along with other info. Also check out www.lfrs.com On the curb problem: you need oversteer to go fast in GP2. Just don't touch the inside curb unless it's really low. Bart Westra
