I was just wondering because I won't bother installing them anymore on my new system. It's fun for the first time but it gets boring quite fast. If we had a good oval AI for it it would be more fun. How much fun is N3 without the AI? Not much. And since I don't see a lot of oval races on VROC anymore I guess the hype is over.

I think a Oval racing series for GPL would; be great for any of those league organizers out there. esspecially as we get more ovals. It has a great Old school Indy feel to it, and it's great fun.
I know of at least one series that runs the ovals. We run the road courses for a trophy and the ovals for another trophy. then we have a trophy for both combined. The Ovals are fun if you have the right crowd and a warp free connection and enjoy F3's. I've noticed the F1's warp badly with the ovals. >I think a Oval racing series for GPL would; be great for any of those league

Better yet how do you make a setup that doesn't boil the right front tire off? -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Official member: Screamers Racing League Sim Racing Mag Honda Challenge NASROC ---------------- Busch Motorsports: Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward ----------------- Busch Carpentry: Plans?, Oh, you mean that napkin sketch?

Simple - create one that boils the right rear off! <g> Here's a Lotus setup for Charlotte that with one or two minor tweaks (camber changes should suffice) is very competitive at all of the large ovals - Dega excepted of course.
