What other racing sim has this? Drivable track encyclopedia...

Someone said GPL is like a drivable track encyclopedia and I think I must agree. What other racing sim has all these REAL classic tracks to drive: A1 Ring 1998 Adelaide Adelaide 2002 Sprint Circuit Aida 2003 Aida Tanaka International Aintree Albert Park 1957 Albi 1967 Aldo Scribante Race Circuit Anderstorp Scandinavian Raceway Assen TT Atlanta Motor Speedway Augusta Autopolis International Circuit Avus (Long) Avus 1959 Barber Motorsports Park Bathurst, Mount Panorama Belle Isle Park Brands Hatch Brands Hatch Indy Bremgarten Bristol Motor Speedway Brooklands Buenos Aires (short) Buenos Aires 1953 Buenos Aires 1954 Buenos Aires 1967 Calder Park Camden Int.

(then for fun we have almost as many fantasy tracks too! Like Gyral, Janakkala, Thornham, Montrevault, Road Ontario... well currently close to 160 fantasy tracks. But that's another (great) story ) Cheers! /Magnus

I remember when Dubai came out & thinking "is this the best that can be done?" I tried Brands, and more or less left it at that for the add-on tracks until I had to run a league race several years later at Snett67 and loved it ;-) I started downloading all the best ones I could find, but now they seem to come out faster than I can master them. Nowadays I just get tracks when I need to for a league race, and the occasional gem like the IoM. Some say life's too short to master gpl. I agree, but not for the same reason ;-) Malc.

You have to have the free oval converter from theuspits.com and N3, N2, or N99 "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:6%dub.26723$HD3.16180@lakeread06...

I'd use a stronger word then interesting ;-) Like... *rolling eyes & dropping jaw* :-D /Magnus

That's why I programmed the rating system at the track database :-) So you can find out what tracks are the top "must haves". Leaving it to the GPL die hards to drive ALL tracks ;-) (no I didn't say "master"... that sounds crazy even to me, hehe) /Magnus T

<gasp> are you suggesting N2003 mods will be gpl 2 ? is this heresy? or is it prophecy? "Jeffrey3456" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3fb9c7d1$0$8788$[email hidden]...

Have you seen the 5 different cars running at Le Sarthe in the uspits forums? Have you seen the various GPL conversions that Project Wildfire is readying for it's Trans AM effort? While Nr2k3 still doesn't have the flexibility of the ISI titles, it can be shaped into a very very very good road racing product. This will be a very good year methinks... dave henrie

And an excellent job you have done...we should consider ourselves very fortunate to have someone provide this service to the diehard sim race fan. Many, many thanks .
