Description     : Enables you to play consecutive seasons by 
                  randomizing team line-ups, car power, car reliabilty, 
                  and driver abilities for input via an editor. The 
                  line-ups for the seasons are based on performances 
                  from the previous season.

Author Info     : I'm just a guy who likes as much realism & detail in 
                  simulations.

Other Works     : None.......for GP2 anway.

Thanks to       : John Banks (Long may we work together)

                  Everyone else involved in 
                  improving a classic game, in particular Steven Young 
                  (for the tremendous GP2Edit) and Juha Vitala 
                  (impressive Y2K carsets).

* EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS *
======================

Remember to make a note of the Drivers Championship Final Standings in your Gp2 season before you attempt to set up the next season !!! (You will need to note the top 20). Currently, the Car Power rating cannot rise above 820 or drop below 680 (I think), so if this needs altering please let me know. Finishing well in one season does not mean that you're gauranteed a better team for the next, it just means that you have more 'chance' of getting a better seat !!! The editor allows you to alter the names & ratings of both the drivers and teams in either your saved data OR the original data. 

REMEMBER when generating seasons to save the team/driver info to either a file OR as a printout BEFORE exiting the program as they aren't easily rescued !!!!!!
