Well....this evening I tried my hand at the on-line experience for the first
time on MY computer. Downloaded WVROC, the "fix file", installed
everything, fired up and went on-line to Monza, I think it was. Nobody else
was there so I didn't really have a chance to interfere with a race or to
get into anybody's way. thank God!

The purpose of this post is to (a) warn you that I am dipping my toe in the
water of GPL on-line and (b) ask if there is a league for the elderly,
infirm and partially insane? Your advice would be most welcome.

I run with strict "historic" settings......4"+ ground clearance and 30/85 or
45/85 diff setups. My speeds, therefore, will be lower than the average. I
also drive under the pseudonym of either Pete Aaron (Honda), Jean-Paul Sarti
(Ferrari) or Scott Stoddart (BRM) and can be found between practise sessions
and after each race sitting in the Brabham pits having a beer with the
blokes whilst arguing with my team manager. Or I may be seducing Francois
Hardy in my hotel room. Preferably both.

Cheers!

let's see...
age doesn't really matter, usually short races so infirmity really
shouldn't play into it...
and we're all pretty much with ya on the last one. So JUMP RIGHT IN.
Maybe try an F2 league?

No...I *spin*. Mr. Surtees has been taken care of......I've slipped him a
mickey (see other thread)! :-)
