Thanks for the advice, the Cooper/Coventry it is then.
I've already got the patches, they loaded themselves up, but thanks for the track download info. I will also avoid the setups as suggested, I am struggling as it is without making life more difficult still!
As for racing the trainers, I found information at the Eaglewomans site, (Alison Hine). She has instructions on how to change a bit of code which will enable you to compete in races for the basic and advanced trainer. Her site is below, the information is in the main faq, part 5.3

I was just wondering if others had done this and if it was worth it?
Finally have people downloaded better car/track graphics and/or better car sounds? If so then any recommendations would be appreciated.
(I hope all this doesn't sound like nit-picking, the game itself is wonderful, I just want to make the most of it)
