Undocumented GPL 1.1 changes?

Does anyone know if there are any "undocumented" changes in GPL 1.1, such as changing the failure probabilities for the different cars? I was wondering because I blew the engine in my Brabham during qualifying at Monza last night. This has never happened before, and I was not speed-shifting either. Makes me wonder if they "adjusted" some of the probabilities (it would be nice if they raised the Lotus engine failure probability even higher :-)). -- Doug Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

Interesting. The day after I installed 1.1, I spent a couple of hours practising Brands Hatch in the Brabham, using a setup I had developed and used successfully under 1.0. To my amazement, I blew the engine every two or three laps. I had to make all the gears (except 1st) one click longer to fix it. Racing Silverstone online last night (using Alison's Brab setup), I also became convinced that the car is easier to drive. Specifically, it seems to have lost its tendency to leap into the scenery at the slightest provocation on high-speed straights. It's now a breeze to keep in a straight line, even with fully linear steering at 14:1.

If you were using low ride height setups in the past, you will find that you can accelerate faster coming out of the turns with the higher ride heights. This may in and of itself translate to blowing engines as you are now able to achieve higher revs than before. -- **************************** Michael E.
