The Lotus makes a crappy engine noise on my rig , is there a way to change / modify it to something that sounds more like a DFV on song ?

SRMZ still seems to be down (and a few of the sounds links at https://gpllinks.org/ seem to point there).

If you have previously installed GPL using the GPLPS installer,  you probably have additional sounds under:   \gpl\repository\GPLPSInstaller\Sound  which could be copied to your \gpl\sound  folder as maddog mentions.

Alternatively,  Here is .zip with just the Lotus sound files from the GPLS installer.  Although you may want to copy/rename your existing \gpl\sound\lot.wav  before replacing with one of them.

Be careful, Bernie. The only sound the Lotus makes in UKGPL is BANG!

Because of the magnetized hay bales and other off-track perils, I thought the attrition here would be better than two-thirds of the field. I even gave some thought to not qualifying at all, rather than take a chance on being involved in the usual first-lap massacre. But I was "forced" into driving the Lotus by the league rules --- what a shame, huh? --- and if you're going to be given a Lotus, your only job at that point is to drive it like you stole it.  So I did.

Eduardo was just ahead of me, qualifying seventh in the Honda. I figured I'd get by him with no problem at the start, and did so easily. I also managed to outrun two others ahead of me when the flag dropped. By the bottom of the hill I was fifth overall. But trying to keep faster cars behind me at a track like this for the next 25 laps was far from an appealing prospect, so I let all three of them by me just after the beginning of lap #2. I figured I'd have a cruise for a while and let the guys up front destroy themselves in the bales, but that plan didn't work out too well. For one thing no one seemed to be dropping out; for another, Albert found his way into my tail pipes and stayed there for the next ten laps or more. Then Eduardo screwed up at the bottom of the hill, letting me overtake him. I'd let him by without a fight once, so I decided to make him fight for my position for a change. He tried valiantly but the chances of a Honda outrunning a Lotus at Monsanto, especially with the long, steep hill, are next to impossible without mistakes.

So I finished fifth with no damage to the car and no major errors. That was the longest 50 minutes I've spent in a while. Balcarce isn't one of my favorite places, but at least there I won't be white-knuckling at 10/10ths for almost an hour.

Eduardo,

Pete is the winner, not Hunt 

and please call me Rainier, I don't like very much Rannier 

I prefer that :

Ha! Ha! , I feel like I climbed this mountain last night
