GPL Questions ?

I am paying my dues by practicing & trying to get some good consistent lap times but I have several questions: 1. Are the timing lights at the Start-Finish line? The game gives you the lap time as you're coming out of the last turn (well before the start Line) Is this from the previous lap ? Any other way to get a lap time quicker ? ( I.e. I don't want to wait almost a lap to get my time !) 2. The engine sounds great but I as I'm going to the U.S. Grand Prix screen I hear something that is garbled that sounds like it coming over the track loudspeaker system...What is the announcer saying ? is it supposed to be garbled? When I went back checked my Sound Quality options ( e.g. 8 bit vs. 16bit) they're grayed out ? Do I need to change Win95 sound options? Thanks for the help ! Tim

Yes, the timing is for the previous lap. You have to remember thgat is was done by hand-held stopwatch and pit board messages back then. Yes, the sounds are correct and are meant to give a background atmosphere...crowd noises, etc.
