I too made a different player for the x'tra, but when I run the previous 69 mod the game CTDs if I click Player Info. Have I done something wrong?

I have updated my laptime listing PERL script to include the '69-Extra mod. It's available in this thread.
(I tried to update the original post, but unfortunately I can't edit it. Please scroll down to post #9 where you will find the "RecordLists17.rar" file.)

So should I just use the .ini file for Brands Hatch, or the one in the main gpl folder?
For tracks that do not have track specific a drvc69.ini the default one will be used. it is located in the gpl folder.
However, you can make your own and place it in the track folder.
Hope that helps.

I don't think so, the new Player Info layout doesn't support the old mod and both use the same file. It is possible to fix this, if you want I can explain it to you.

Downloaded(took a while; it's a big file). Installed(took even longer). Ran(yup, you guessed it...took quite a while to load). Result? No hiccups whatsoever. 
You understand that the above notations in brackets are simple observations, not complaints. We were warned that time scales would be significantly longer.
I think that, as far as I've gone with the upgrade, this is simply stunning work by the Team. Absolute drop-jaw stuff.
First thing I did(and as a REAL test of the race-specific options)was to load Mosport and go for couple of laps in Al Pease's old 4-banger Eagle. It was, of course, entered and ran(however briefly)in the '69 Canadian GP. Result?
There it was! In all it's glory! The 4-cylinder Coventry-Climax pounding out the beat. Just super! And as for detail, I'm positively agog at the side-draft DCOE Webers hanging off the side of the motor. Fantastic!
You guys are just OUT THERE! Thanks a million!

I hope you like the new textures I made for this car
. It might just be my favorite car in the mod . We also decided to add the most up to date Hewland Gearbox which was omitted in the 1966 version, to make it look a little bit nicer .Tommie.

I have just tried the old mod and I have no problem with the player info screen.
Which file are you referring to ?

I think I know what the problem is. it seems some older lyt files were substituted.
Please try this fix. If it works I will update the installer.
Place these new files in your gpl/layout folder.
thanks

Yes please, I want to.
Edit: Oops, I see Paul posted a fix before before me. I'll give this a try, be right back.
