So far with MY own setup (and will continue to be that way, at least on monza) on monza... the only track I know how to be at least slightly competitive. The other 10 tracks are unknown and I have haven't been able to do them with a time. PB: 1:28.62 (somehow, don't know how and didn't make the setup, :() on monza, eagle

Fantastic time Alex -^ My PB is only slightly faster than that :rolleyes:

I hope you get as much enjoyment from it as I do. I recommend that you register at the Racesim Central forums to keep track of developments and get good advice.

i have joined two, but i didn't get any email, i can't post, but i can look at pictures. How could I fix this problem? I got most of the mods for the game, as far as cars, and the Monza 809 track update.

name on GPL is Alex_Marks, I have already seen Matt (DCMattius) Paul or WC_sting, mikey_g and phil, or wc outlaw.

Alex, the Monza 809 is an old version of the update. Fred Faster has the latest version on his site for download. Unfortunately I do not have the URL for his site here at work. I'll see if I can post it tonight when I get home.

If you are having trouble accessing the Racesim Central forums, just e-mail them and they will get it sorted out. They are extremely helpful.

I only venture onto VROC on weekends for a quick race and leave again. I am David Bretz on VROC and GPL Rank.

See you online sometime :)

Very good! I've never broken 1:29 and probably never will, so you're off to a great start! Be sure you get the latest GPLEA cars, they just released the Lotus, Ferrari and Cooper !

mmm, today I got a 1:29.18... with a 4 speed! lol, my 4-speed does 195 before i have to start braking... its the only setup that is right for me now... 5th gear is not even needed. I know, I know, I should use a 5 speed, upshift quicker, and not so long of gears... but I never have to shift on a corner except for the corner after Curve de grande or whatever. Its my best setup so far (well the 1:28.62 was, but that is way long gone now... been tinkering too much) I got all the GPLEA cars. Graphics ain't a problem.

Alex, the setup that I use is good because it means very few gear changes. I change down to 4th through Curva Grande and back up to 5 th. Then down to 3rd through Lesmos 1 and 2. After going back up to 5 th heading to Ascari I only have to go back to 3rd for Parabolica. It is a good low-stress setup that rarely has me blowing engines.
