I've been trying to fill in some of the blanks in my best laps page for
my F3 driver lately.  So today, I go out to Mexico.  Believe it or not,
I'm 4 seconds *faster* out here in an F3 than I am in an F1!!  Has this
happened to anyone else?  I also noticed that while I hate this track in
an F1, it is downright enjoyable for me in an F3.

You hate this track ???
It's one of the track we raced the most when i was on a LAN... There is
everything.. fast corners / very *very* tight corner, flat corners /
banking, big strait braking / curved braking... And you dont have a
chance if you re not precise with these tires on the apex...
I remember the first time we raced at Monza (after a lot of WG and
Mexico), we wondered what was this boring flat track doing here... Ok,
it's not so bad ;)

Ok, i know i'm completly OT here, but it's just some tought about the
track we like/we hate... But I'm not surprised to see (in previous
posts) that the tight tracks like Rouen, the ring, or Mexico please the
F3 drivers...

Seb

PS: I'm back from Le Mans (i was there for the qualif session), i don't
know what i can do to have this track in GPL... Such an hilly fast
track... Hope the Panoz will win (INCREDIBLE SOUND!!!).

I hate Mexico.  I don't think I've ever had one single lap here where I've ever
made it through turn one without a huge moment or a crash.  And then the
Esses.....  ugh...  1:52 best in F1 and I've never driven F3 as that's just too
damn slow for me!

I know what you mean, Dan.  I've always disliked this place something
terrible.  Hell, it took me 4 tries in order to get 1 timed lap so I
could submit my F1 GPL Rank score.  4 tries!!  But I tell you what, if
you're ever sitting around bored one day not sure what to do, throw this
track on with an F3 car just for giggles.  I'll bet you'll like it!

If you've never had one single lap at Mexico where you've not made it
through turn one without a huge moment or a crash, then there's NO WAY
you could have turned in a 1:52 there.  Unless you survive all your
"moments," that is (which I never do!).  <G>

If you're turning 1:52 while screwing up T1, then I'm in trouble.  I'm stuck at
1:55.84

Four tries! I wish it took me like a half hour and I still only did a
2:09.94. That was the frist clean lap, slow but clean! Then I left and
was done with the track. This weekend I returned with an F2 car to see

feel like some more torture I will try F3. What is the most stable F3
car? I love it I have noticed that there are many drivers F2 and F3
GPLRank scores/handicaps that are better than my F1s! Really
dipressing. But then again what do I expect with an 11:29.07 at the
Ring.

Hehehe.  Yup, my only clean F1 lap out there was a 2:24.96, but in an F3
I've run 2:20.55.  Still got about 11 seconds to go to catch Mark Seery,
though. :-(  Try an F3 race against the AI out there, it's fun!  Oh, and
I just ran a 11:09.89 at The Ring last nite in my F3.  :-)
