N4 I heard..

Me too, for all tracks except for Monza. Just the idea that he drives
those alien times with these setups helps me mentally :)

First! Thank you very much & all net cops yell at me for the attached
setups I Asked! :-) Now Ian's setups [for me] seem to stick like glue
on the tracks! Also the same with Chris Moses in the Eagle' and also
my man Tim Wheatley's Honda setups! I dont know how these guys
do it? but they do!
Ok now, you say you use Huttu's more but I find his setups so very
loose & [to me!] they're nothing like Ian's or C Moses or others! If
you like Ian's setup how do you use Huttu's? You can email me if it
is a long answer..ok? Tia.. Thom_j.
P.S. I know many move on but its sad to hear Ian has possibly left
GPL. {Btw I have both GH's 1z & 2z setups & both are real hard
to drive for me! phew!!}


| I think Ian has given up playing GPL - not sure what he's up to now!

| I only have his Lotus setups, and have enclosed his setups for Monza and
| Watkins Glen (note to NG police: sorry for the attachments, but they are
| very small!).
|
| Aside from those tracks I normally use Greger Huttu's setups (version 1,
as

Come on oz....where is that .. " I broke 1:30" post! :)

One further thing that Dan Leach told me and really helped my times:-

Break Earlier than you think you should, but LESS

AND, perhaps more importantly, accellerate as early as possible and LESS
***ly.

I hope this helps

No offense, but lots of practice in and of itself won't make you any faster.
Trust me - I've turned more laps this week(I took a week off from work) than I
have in the past 2 MONTHS.  It hasn't helped.  If I'm doing the same things as
always, I'm only practicing being slow...  Problem is, doing something
different throws me off the track.  I haven't figured out that 'zen' thing yet.

Sorry oz... One thing you'll never do is "Scare!" the **aliens** hahaha
Just hook up with Guy Wilson at Monza & tell me how you make out!
He averages in the 126s right now & Guy wouldnt consider himself an
alien or at least he wont admit it to us Earthlings..lol <G>
Good luck & Have fun anyway tho'.. Thats the bottom line!!
Thom_j. Still An Earthling

Ok Eldred, Here's the Zen secret: "It is not what is, is but what is, is
not!!
Now go "grasshopper" and prosper :-)

Liar, liar, pants on fire!  :-)

I do look at GPLrank from time to time, and it seems to me that you've
taken about four seconds off your handicap in the last week or so.
That's no small thing...

Practice *does* make perfect Eldred, but it takes longer sometimes than
others. Don't forget to use Replay Analyser LOADS to compare your laps with
someone a couple of seconds faster, and then when you figure out where you
can push harder, get straight back into GPL and do so!

Setups are worth spending 10 minutes on but NO MORE than 10 minutes - best
way is to make sure you steal the gear ratios from a hotlapper and then use
whatever other settings feel comfortable to you, leastways that's what
someone much much faster than me told me the other day and it seems to make
sense...

Good luck

Jim

Don't neglect the "watch how others do it" technique. In training I will
download replays from hotlap sites and alternate between watching that
replay and watching mine, to see where he's faster. On line during
qualifying (or after I crash out or get tired) I will often "ride along"
with a fast guy on the server.

Sometimes I don't get anything useful this way (I can't slide through a
corner like Huttu and probably never will) but often I will see something I
can at least try - if it makes me faster great, if not at least I can
eliminate that as an option.

I use GPLRA too, but I only find it useful if I'm obviously much slower in
one specific area. I use the "time difference" check box in the Graph
window - if there is a significant "jump" at one point in the graph then I
know I really need to work on that area. Usually though it's just a
continuous line, with me getting farther and farther behind (the guy's just
better than me).
