<snip> my PC,or GPL,have stopped to produce sound. Is like a freeze,is not possible to exit the game without a reset of the PC.
May not be the same for you, but in the past I've had something similar [probably due to some background program making GPL lose focus] although the steering still works ok - but with no sound/non-responsive keyboard. Clicking a mouse button [without crashing the car!] then brought sound back etc. Cheers, Dave.

Made it at last moment of the delayed start. I started in 8th with no time. I had a great start, and overtook a few cars at the start. Unfortunately, at the hairpin an eagle made a mistake and was going very slow, I slowed down to avoid hitting him, but got hit from behind and stuck in the fence. After a reset and SnG I was last 30 seconds behind the next car. I worked my way back, and with about 4 laps to go caught up to second and third cars which were running very close the whole race. I got by the brabham easily in my honda, and I had a drag race down to T1 with the eagle, but couldn't quite pull ahead. I decided to stay behind and try again. But that was my first time this close behind Billy, and he broke much earlier then I expected for t2, and I had to take to the field to avoid hitting him. After that I just had to bring it to the finish into what felt a very unsatisfactory 4th place, especially as I got FL as well, and could see on pribluda that I wasn't falling behind the leader, and even made a few seconds back during the race. Still, grats to the podium, you kept it on the black.

After a good start (up to P3 unexpectedly) a blown Lotus engine and a visit to a haybale left me stranded and cursing track designers who use hay bales rather than metal barriers.

Had a good drive, shifted early and cautious, lifted on the bumps, engine went up to 96 degree celsius and I was really afraid to blow the engine. had a spin with 3 laps to go in the hairpin, slight contact but no problem.
Grats to all finishers

Probably my best 67 race this season - but I did have the benefit of the Eagle. Syd & David R clocked some impressive times in other cars. I could not compete with Bastian but had a battle with David R for most of the race. Was mightily surprised to see Syd's Honda appear very large in my mirrors, maybe I got distracted & braked a tad early which & caught him out. It was not intentional. I made my only mistake the whole race, at the hairpin 2 turns later which let DR into 2nd place. With a few more laps I might have caught up, but overall happy with 3rd.

I could only afford the Honda, but it's great here, touching 200mph on the long straight. I watched Bernie go off and somehow seemed to get dragged off too! Fortunately, didn't hit anything and managed to carry on to finish 5th. Broke my PB during the race.

<snip> my PC,or GPL,have stopped to produce sound. Is like a freeze,is not possible to exit the game without a reset of the PC.
May not be the same for you, but in the past I've had something similar [probably due to some background program making GPL lose focus] although the steering still works ok - but with no sound/non-responsive keyboard. Clicking a mouse button [without crashing the car!] then brought sound back etc. Cheers, Dave. If the mouse trick works, there seems to be another program to catch the focus in background! You should stop all background programs when running Grand Prix Legends, afaik those preinstalled pc's have a lot of junk preinstalled like Norton... In my Autostart is nothing but AntiVir, Sound and Graphics driver! A little helper to control the software running is CCleanerGo to Extras - Autostart and deaktivate all others!
