<title>Setting number of laps for a full race distance</title>
<description>Hello to my fellow GP3 racers..

What I want to do is run a full (fantasy) championship season with all full laps for a grand prix race.
Problem is, when I run a race for Interlagos for example, it only shows 55 laps for 100% race distance instead of 72.

I used Pit and Lap Editor to change the pit windows a bit and that is set for 72 laps, and that has been imported to the GP3 exe file,
I&#039;m not sure what sets the actual race distance. I copied the original F1ct02.dat file from the CD and it still showed up in the game as 55 laps.
If I change the race distance to 50%, it drops to 27 laps, so its being parsed into the game from somewhere, and I&#039;d rather not have to reinstall the whole game again to fix this problem.

Any suggestions? Can GPxPatch set the race distance (for laps) in the .ini file??

thanks in advance.</description><link>https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?1,1182704,1182704#msg-1182704</link><lastBuildDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:53:41 +0200</lastBuildDate>
