Way to go! You've won your first GPL race. Ready for a new challenge? Head back
to Monza, novice race, dial up nine*** AI cars, and skip practice. That's
right, skip practice. You'll start the race in twentieth place. Now, go out and
win! This is no joke, Kirk. I've had the most fun doing this. Usually I finish
in the top five ( that is, if I don't crash!), but on occasion I win, and almost
always take the fastest lap. Once, I assumed the lead just before the S/F line
at the end of the second lap, then threw it all away at the Parabolica the next
time around. I'm driving the Lotus on default set-up, albeit with a lighter fuel
load, and turn laps about the same as you. Sometimes I get lucky and do mid or
high 29's, with the absolute best being 1:29.18. In order to win, you'll have to
throw caution to the wind, and take every chance. It's similar to doing hot laps
or qualifying laps, except with traffic! Try it out and let me know how you do.
A final word of caution: take special care if the Honda is starting directly in
front of you!
Regards,
Johnny Lugnuts

Congratulations on your first win. I know the feeling. After a lot of
frustrations, it feels so good.

That is soo true, I hate that dumb AI John Surtees! I only hope he didn't
drive like that in real life!
That first win feels sooo good doesn't it? Hell, i just got my second win ever
(also in a novice race but those AI cars are exactly the same speed as me!) and
it's probably as good as the first! I felt like spraying champagne when I
won....

What I did was hit space bar after the finish line and pretend I was waving
at my millions of fans during my cool down lap...even if the dumb AI were
still racing full tilt...they were just jealous...
=;-D
See you on the track!

I just can't believe that there's somebody else who does this!

Antony Bowers a crit :
Sure ! What else could this fonction used to ?
29's on the DEFAULT setup?!? Whoa...
How much slower do you think the Eagle default is? I *think* I've done a
1:32.xx. It's been a while since I've run. Steering wheel problems and the
discovery of Brood War took me away from GPL... :)
I was just curious if I was getting everything out of the stock Eagle that was
possible.

1:30.70 here with the default Eagle.
(man I've got to start learning how to setup these cars)
Wow...
You're two seconds faster than me - with the 'stock' Eagle(!)... If you learn
setup skills, you'd KILL me.
My 1:32.47 is all I can manage. Could you send me a replay of one of your fast
laps, please? Maybe I can learn something. :)

Great, I have to make up more than 2 seconds?!? I can't figure out WHERE. I'm
*already* sliding through the turns even at MY slow speed... :(
