GPL: Something Quite Queer...

I've had GPL for over 6 months now, but I've yet to turn a wheel at either
Rouen, Mosport, Kyalami (until this weekend) or Mexico!

I've been driving alot, probably nearly everyday since I purchased it, but all
my track time has been spent mostly at the 'ring, Monza, Watkins Glen or
Zandvoort!

Isn't that something? I wonder why that is. It's not as though I've gone out of
my way to avoid these tracks, I only just noticed when looking at my records
page in GPL. Quite ***, I think you'll agree...

AND another thing. Going down the main straight at Kyalami in my Lotus for
those***few laps _frightened_ me! I really felt the urge to lift off. The
sense of speed is astonishing! I've never had that.

I know exactly what you mean, Rob! When I was first lapping around
Brands Hatch and got to the fast straight with Pilgrims Drop I was
thinking: "Nice straight, hey I'm picking up speed, what's that a
blind right going uphill, oh oh I better slow down or else..."

I wont even start to discuss the first time I lapped around Rouen.
LOL.

It's exactly the feeling I had racing for the first time
in Monza, when the main straight becomes so terribly
narrow... Same goes for the back straight, where you
can really feel the speed and the power of the car!

Those drivers were mad... Lots (and I mean lots) of
respect to them.

And maximum respect to Papy!
