Track Conversion Mutterings

I have just downloaded the track converter for GPL from the US Pits (ICR2/NR99 > GPL). Though I only got Hickory and The Glen to work it was quite interesting to compare the tracks to what they are like in NR99. Does anyone know if there are any plans by anybody to convert the Nurburgring from GPL to NR99/N3 or ICR2? It would be pretty cool to take the V8's round the ring, as long as we remember to turn off Pace Lap and yellow flags (or the race might last considerably longer than the rest of most of our lives) :) -- Automobile Racing 1918-1939 www.geocities.com/MotorCity/6884

It would be pretty cool to take you have never driven a GP length around the Ring in an F3 car have you? ;-) -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

There is, but I don't expect something soon for that. It's very complicated. Somehow think that the track need to be "cloned", and such a long track takes much more time than anybody can imagine ;-) I know some people would give anything for the Nurburgring on the old game engine, so email the guys at BB&B and push them to continue, well anybody you know that does track editing !! ;-) -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Fran?ois, I've a very good memory. (Nah, I haven't, I use pieces of paper). You're not forgetting your claim to do the Ring below 8 minutes in a stockcar, don't you? <g> Remco

Hehehe yes you do have a good memory or an accurate set of notes ;-) I made a bet with somebody that whenever the Ring track is released I could lap the Ring with a Stock-car under 8minutes. Speculations of course, but I've thought alot about it and I do think it's possible from the laptimes I do with other sims or the GPL track for N2. Im a natural touring-car driver, thus Im not really excellent (but still above-average) in GPL. I get smoked by people like you there, still !! Now I have no idea about how people would lap the Ring in Icr2. It's a fairly tight-corner track but heck why not say : 6minute laps ;-) -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

8 minutes with a stock car? hahahahaha! Forget it, man, and do sensible things. And, I forgot: May the funk be with you! Not even divine intervention can get you around Nurburging with a Stock car in less than 8 minutes. You don't drive bricks around Nrburgring. The lorries should be kept on the highways. ---Asgeir---
