Now this: I have updated my GPL to version 1.2 and now it keeps asking to insert the CD, but it's already there !!!
Any one have a clue on this or I did something wrong ? |

i have got my new best car - the brabham, with the help of Alison Hine's original setups which are more forgiving, very safe at high speeds and are just brilliant!
going through Spa on the Brabham and i thought i was going really slowly down to Masta but nooooo i was going 195mph!!! this Brabham is amazing! took Masta at my new personal record of 171mph with relative ease. so the next lap i tried for 175mph but clipped the crash barrier and head-on into the farm fences. can anyone tell me how the hell people get through Masta flat?! |

you have to have big balls, and touch the grass on both apexes,staying on the inside of the generated racing lines through the apexes
On a reply of a 3.14 lap, a very small lift/keeping flat and scrubbing off the speed that way the lowest speed throught the corner was 180mph, , is that any help???? |

erm, i think it's gonna take a little practice but yeah it helps - i've been using the grass technique but i think my biggest problem is my driving style. to do Masta flat, you've gotta be agressive, im way too smooth on the wheel and on the throttle.

my main problem with taking masta flat is that if you muck it up (as I do almost every time) while trying to learn how to do it you have to drive for 3:30mins till you can try again, so I give up too easily and just chicken out.

Do not try and take masta flat, I am not and I am doing 3.19's, my friend is not and he is doing 3.14's!!!!!. This is of course with the full grand prix cars. Are you doing 3.30's in the F2 car????
The way to do the corner is to lift, turn in early and use the grass, then turn early for the second part and touch the grass again, all this is with a good amount of power on. It is tricky to explain, but i can give you a replay of masta to help you some more, pm me if you want it and I will get back to u asap, same with a replay of some other corners anyone is struggling with, just pm me (it may take a while as I am at work all day, lots of you might want one, etc) |

well i found with the coventry, it can scrub off a bit of speed - enough to get through it, though you do have some maniac steering to contend with. with the brabham you can easily do it flat.
coming up for Masta and you're doing 195/6mph, hit the 100m mark and turn in, screeching your tyres as much as possible and hit the muddy left-hand-side of the first part of Masta - get it right next to the bank, then once you've got around that, the hard part comes: steer relatively slowly right but try and get as close to the crash barrier as possible and that should see you through. most times you won't get through flat, but nearly flat. i've got it down to an art. im happy now because i've reached that stage in GPL where i use absolutely no aids and don't really miss them - in fact they were quite a nuisance. |

By the way, why do I find the Brabham such a  car? I absolutely hate it. I'd much rather drive the Cooper or BRM than the Brabham.

No WAY!! I LIKE the Brabham. Dominated the 1967 season. Nice, progressive power, reasonable chassis (it's not a Honda, but...) and you're ALWAYS going faster than you think in that thing. Just a shame I can't find a good carset for it ANYWHERE!! Hurry up GPLEA!!!

GPLEA did release a v1.01 which i thought wasn't magnificent but pretty damn good...
Brabham is excellent for those who are just getting used to their aids off: it has nice power, and plenty of wheelspin in the 1st 2 gears, you don't have to shift up and down every other second, you can leave it in 3rd round a slow corner without losing any time and because the front weight is biased, your brakes lock easily - gets you used to the other cars. its got good grip and goes places - FAST! that is my best car because i've got the setups for it. plus, has anyone got the sound update (available through Alison Hine's site) for the coventry?! its MAZIN'

Yeah, I have the GPLEA Brabham. Not a patch on their others.
Re: sounds, you can't beat the straight Ferrari. Orgasm in a computer game. One of those moments in my short gaming history that will remain etched on my brain will always be when I realised that I was only in the TRAINER and clicking "GP car". I just didn't expect THAT!! |

The Brabham is a nice car to drive, but there is only one car for me to drive - the mighty 49. You just can't go past the Lotus 49!

Don't get me started on the Honda. What a dream chassis. Only the Ferrari is more alive in ones hands.

yeah cos the Honda revvs to 11,500rpm!!! it's magical at monza, a real blast - worrying if you'll ever do Ascari flat...EVERY LAP!!!
i got the GPLEA ferrari and the interior looks like a cheap 80's lamborghini but the mirrors give better views to other cars behind. |

I love the driving position in the Honda, just class, nice view of everything going on. It's not my favourite vehicle, but I can see why you like it Tristan, NJ, Aysedasi.

its great! it feels like you are in something that will kill you but give you orgasmic pleasures before you top it.
the chassis is responsive, the revving is high, it feels (bear in mind this is a computer generated car) like a bath tub with a turbo engine and 4 wheels strapped to it, you can have some great slides and recover and it's always surprising how quick you are bearing in mind its one of the heaviest cars in the game. |

For anyone who hasn't cottoned on yet, the brand new BRM P83 is now available for download on the GPLEA site. (It doesn't make it go any quicker, but it sure looks the business!).
