If you run Spa, you only have to keep that concentration going for 28 laps ;) > G'Day Guy's, > Can the championships be shortened,i.e.20 laps for GP2 25 laps for GP1 if so > how would i go about it? my attention span is not sufficient for 70 to 80 > laps at a time.Thanks in Advance -- Matthew V.

Denis, they CAN be shortened, no problem. Go into your GPL folder and open up the "seasons" folder. In that you'll find two .INI files....one is used for the single races and the other for a WC (GP.ini is used for the latter). Open in Notepad or whatever and make the changes you desire then save. You can also alter the sequence of events if you like simply by re-numbering and moving them around in the file to correspond with the numbers. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- > If you run Spa, you only have to keep that > concentration going for 28 laps ;) > > G'Day Guy's, > > Can the championships be shortened,i.e.20 laps for GP2 25 laps for GP1 if so > > how would i go about it? my attention span is not sufficient for 70 to 80 > > laps at a time.Thanks in Advance > -- > Matthew V.

Hehe...I didn't have so much luck in a GP race at Silverstone. I spun on lap 54, and got rear-ended by Graham Hill. Oh well. I qualified 11th, ran in 11th until cars ahead started dropping out(got as high as 8th). Crashed out, and finished - you guessed it - 11th... Talk about *consistency*...<g> Now I just have to find SPEED. My fast lap in a Cooper was only 1:39.xx. Fast lap by the leaders was 1:33.xx... Back to the track...
