Rename to slot of your choice.

Both options require the NOCDROM patch which can be found at GP2.COM.

* What's New

1. A right hand turning version of the track has been included as well 
   as the left hand turning version.
2. Correction to the positioning of some of the distance boards before 
   a corner.
3. Addition of "50m Markers" using the turn left or turn right signals
   as the 50m marker.
4. Wall height raised on the corners.
5. CC line improved.
6. Track grip slightly reduced.
7. Tyre compound changed from "C" to "D" to account for lower attrition
   rate associated with better CC line.
8. Setup for Computer Cars improved.
9. Setup for human controlled car improved.


* Additional Info

Base            : Estoril (Portugese GP)
Usable Slots    : Any of the 16 Slots can be used
Preferred Slot  : Slot 9
Track Length    : 2.35 Miles (3.776 km)
Laps            : 80

Fuel Consumption has been calculated so that it is correct for the 
Computer Cars. For this track the usage by human controlled cars is
slightly lower than that for the Computer Cars (Not by very much, but
it does depend upon driving style). As human drivers can override when
they pit I decided to get the Computer Cars exactly right. Usually the
computer will turn on the pit next lap signal with about 5 laps of fuel
left in the tank.

D Compound Tyres have been used for this circuit and this is important
to take into account when racing this circuit. Be careful with those
tyres! For a full race a two stop strategy is suggested, but three will
be required if you are hard on tyres. Which ever way you will have to
drive on less than optimum tyres toward the end of your stint.

Driving on Rookie is not recommended as the opposition is just way to 
slow. If you are a Rookie driver try the step up to Amateur.

The included setup file (wistow2.csi) is a setup that is somewhere near
the mark (although it can be improved upon) for competitive racing at
Wistow.

A GIF file for use with GP2HIPIC can be obtained from my website.
