Brief descriptions and locations on Aminet of other F1GP related programs
and activities.  Most of the programs below are available on the "F1GP
Accessories" disk, which I regularly update and send to 17 Bit Software
(PD library in the UK) - here are their details:

   17 Bit Software         TEL: [phone]
   1st Floor Offices       FAX: [phone]
   2/8 Market Street
   Wakefield               UK prices: £1 per disk + 50p p&p
   West Yorkshire                     (subject to change)
   WF1 1DH

All the programs below can also be found on the Amiga F1GP ftp-site
when it is back online (probably ftp://goliath.nanunanu.org/pub/f1gp), and
some of them are also available on Aminet (in the locations shown).

** = no public release version yet

SplitTime (Copyright © 1995 René Smit) game/misc/SplitTime.lha
   SplitTime is a utility that displays split times at every quarter of a
   track while you drive F1GP (so you need that game to use it). Not only
   the splittimes are displayed, but also the best splittimes before they
   show up (like on TV).  There are 3 split times on every track and
   they are at exactly 25%, 50% and 75% distances, while on TV they now
   use only 2 split times (intermediates) at specific points on the track.

AGPPerf (Copyright © 1995 Grant Reeve) game/misc/AGPPerf.lha
   This program is based fairly loosely on the PC version of GPPerf.
   It records telemetry of your F1 car as you drive around the track in
   F1GP, and allows you to then save it to disk for viewing with some
   other displaying utility (ie GPDisplay).  It also puts some cute extra
   little lights on the dashboard.

GPDisplay (Copyright © 1995 Grant Reeve) game/misc/GPDisplay.lha
   This program will display perf files saved from AGPPerf, or directly
   from AGPPerfs memory.  It allows comparison and analysis of up to 4
   perf files at once, plus it has some (very) rudimentary editing
   facilities.

AGPLapTime (Copyright © 1995 René Smit) game/misc/AGPLapTime.lha
   This program can record various things whilst you are driving.  It can
   be set up to record a whole race.  The resulting log file can be
   viewed by an appropriate displaying utility (ie AGPLap).  During a
   race for example all fastest laps are recorded along with speed
   factors, driving aids and the horsepower.  Pit stops, damage, crashes,
   setups and many other things are logged.

AGPLap (Copyright © 1995 René Smit) game/misc/AGPLapTime.lha
   Processes log files created by AGPLapTime, and produces text describing
   virtually every aspect of the race in detail.  Here is a brief snippet
   of output from a Brazil race log file:

AGPLapMix (Copyright © 1995 Grant Reeve) game/misc/AGPLapTime.lha
   Merges separate log files together in one log file.  For example, in
   the Internet F1GP Championship all the drivers could send in log files
   of their races.  This program can then take all these log files, an
   recreate the race as if everybody was racing together.

AGPLapD ** (Copyright © 1995 Grant Reeve)
   A graphical logfile displayer, similar to GPDisplay, for use in
   conjunction with AGPLapTime.

F1GP-HFED (Copyright © 1995 Stephen Leary)
   Allows you to alter the helmet images on the driver selection screen in
   the game.  Simply design your helmets in any decent paint package and
   use this program to convert them into the game.  Maybe useful to some
   people I guess, but depends on how often you visit the driver select
   screen (ie me -> very rarely).

HallOfFame.guide (administrated by Alan Strang) docs/hyper/F1GP-HoF.lha
   The latest Internet list of F1GP qualifying lap records from various
   participants.  Released monthly.

F1GP-RES (Copyright © 1996 Edo Nijmeijer) game/misc/F1GP-RES.lha
   F1GP-Record Entry System - mainly a utility for use by Hall of Fame
   participants.  Used to store lap times, setups and options used.  Can
   scan HoF AmigaGuide files.

HoFPoints (Copyright © 1996 Michal Janak) game/misc/HOFPoints.lha
   Another utility for use by Hall of Fame participants.  Allows you to
   enter records and easily work out how many points you have improved by,
   etc.

Amiga F1GP Mailing List (administrated by Oliver Roberts)
   The ultimate e-mail based mailing list for F1GP fans.  The mailing list
   is used for public discussions about all aspects of F1GP and also for
   things related to the Internet Amiga F1GP Championship and Hall of Fame.

Amiga F1GP PerfBase (administrated by Oliver Roberts)
   Collection of various AGPPerf perf files, from contenders in the Hall of
   Fame, for use with GPDisplay.  Perfs can be downloaded from the perfs dir
