GPL Race Repllays?

I'm a newbie to GPL and am in the midst of getting all the patches, figuring out the basics of setups and trying in general to stay on the track (singular) and pointed in the right direction. So that I may get some sense of racing are there any sites with race replay files for d/l? I've collected hot laps for the various tracks but would love to see some real racing. Any info or site URL's will be greatly appreciated. Most of my Formula racing attention in the 60's was focused during the first half of the decade. In 1967 my attention was on the GT racing and the big battle between Ford and ferrari (with Porche routinely taking the next 12 places <g>). Are there any plans to model that type of racing in that period? I'd love to practice on GT40's, work up to MkII's and then take out the hugely powerful MkIV's! Of course, I better get some more time in on GPL first. ;-)

The Fords and Ferraris of that period are available for SCGT from The Pits (www.theuspits.com) but there's little chance of them appearing in GPL. At least until someone like Dave Noonan gets tired of producing new tracks and looks for a new challenge...

Race replays are pretty large downloads, but if you want to see some replays of intermediate long races, you could do worse than go to http://www.ukgpl.com go to the replays section, select the 2000 season replays and try some of the Division 1 races. The replays are split into 5-6 parts, you download all parts and double click the .exe file to unpack them. Most of these replays are from the race server, which shows all the cars in the race, unlike clients replays which only show a few cars in front of the driver and one behind.

Mike Hortons site has league replays for download. They used to be updated about every week. http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/gpl/

Sounds like you would like the F3's then work up to the F2's, then finally run the F1's. Take a look at the Zero Gee News http://bovineracing.com/zgnews.htm In the "Racing Reports" page is a great article, "Why Bother with the little cars?" By Mark Seery. It's a very good read and hopefully you'll agree with him ;-) Mike Barlow

I have ADSL and lots of drive space so file size is not an issue for me. -- XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXX XX ==> HiFi/DirtyTwisters <== X 08/16/00 04:02

Answers 1. 1998 / 99 I think (or there abouts) 2. It is pretty good....best sports car game until WSC in 2001 3. Doesnt need much to run well - video card is probably more important.....runs well on a p2-300 with TNT2.....probably less would be good too. 4. It only costs �9.99 ....worth the money and is in some of the "best games" compilations for about �9.99 with 4 other good games. Ash "162267" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm not an expert on the game but it's modern, I hear that it's OK once patched (the patches are to big for me to bother downloading at 56k) but out of the box it's fairly arcadish, the CPU requirements are modest (OK on my Celeron 450). There are an awful lot of add-ons available. Tony Whitley 162267 <[email hidden]> wrote > That's "Sports Car GT"? I think I have seeen that. What years > is the boxed game built around?
