The only 'click' I can imagine is racking a 12-gauge before blowing Mosport to
bits...
BTW, that Left-hand turn you mentioned(and its evil twin) catch me out at least
once out of every 2 or 3 laps... :(

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Actually, I AM starting to enjoy Mosport.  And if it weren't for GPL
Rank, I never would have bothered to stay at it for a couple hundred
laps.  There really is something satisfying about it, once you finally
get the hang of it.

But now I'm working on Monaco, where I am also about 3-4 seconds off
where I should be.  I'm actually starting to dislike GPL now...Monaco,
except for the great graphics, is no fun whatsoever.
