I know 1:07.83 is far from spectacular but  for me it is a tremendous
improvement.  I started playing GPL in March and only raced the Glen.  It
took me one month using Alison's Coventry setups to turn a 1:10.61.   Pretty
good for a newcomer I thought, (just slightly too impressed with myself)
1:09.XX should be right around the corner (now dripping will
overconfidence)!  Well by MID-JUNE I had still not broken 1:10:31.  Two
months of practice and only a .30 second improvement, ARGHHH!  I was
starting to think this just wasn't my bag baby (Ausin Danger Powers).  Well
then I found the Holy Grail: Alison's Ferrari Setups (alright, who doesn't
enjoy a little hyperbole once in a while).  Thank you Alison.   After only 2
days I turned a 1:09.49.  One week later I turned a 1:08.38.   And tonight,
after only 2 weeks with her setups, I just completed a lap of 1:07.83.  It
took me almost 3 months to drop 3/10 of a second at the Glen and less than 3
weeks with Alison's Ferrari setups to drop 3 seconds!  What an amazing
feeling from an unbelievable sim.  I truly feel like I'm in that car and in
the "zone".  I also finally feel like I'm over the hump and 1:06.XX can't be
far behind . . . I hope .  Did I mention I love GPL?  I would also declare
my love for Alison Hine except I'm married, we have never actually met, she
would quickly realize that I was only interested in her for her setups and
she'd beat my ***far too often at GPL ;^).    Hey Alison, thanks so very
much for the smooth-as-silk Ferrari setups.  Now how about some tweaks ;-).
