So I guess you're telling me that my +3 minute lap times just aren't
competitive, huh?

Damn, I need a faster computer!  The frame rate is soooooo sloooooww
on mine that I have to start steering a few seconds before reaching
each corner, only to discover that the car has already slewed the
opposite direction before the next frame gets painted to the screen.

At this rate, it would take me a week to find my way once around the
Nurburgring!

I broke into the 1:08's last night.  1:07 comes tonight :)
What is wierd is that I'm about 2 seconds faster with the
Lotus than with the other two cars.

Nah, the fastest guy at gpl.gamestats.com has a time of 1:07.something...
Damn, and I STILL spin out... I did move from the auto trans to the manual,
much better.

Not sure I'm first, but last night I did a
1:07.76 :)

I think the other cars might be faster on other tracks, this one
rewards pure power because of the long straights and the lotus seems
to be the more powerfull car, but it's also quite a handful, so I gues
it should loose a little bit of it's advantage on tracks like say...
the nurburgring?
