Has anybody tried running the default setups for all
the tracks and gotten a negative rank in GPL.

No, have you tried a lap at the Nurburgring backwards in a Ferrari? ;)

I actually intend to do this at some point and have a driver just to keep
track of PBs in default setups.

Considering I have an overall GPL rank of 10 though I'm not quite up to it
yet.

I've been trying to be methodical about the whole affair and am working to a
master plan that has kept my rank lower than it could be.

It was my original intent to drive nothing but the Ferrari until I had gone
0, but online racing has put that out the window. My current plan is to go
zero by going 0 track by track, leaving the 'ring until LAST, ( which is why
I'm not 0 yet).

Then I wish to go 0 chassis by chassis to get a good Monster Rank.

THEN I wish to start all over again using only default setups.

I suppose I could put a bee in my own bonnet by posting my default driver to
GPL rank.

Yep. See my GPLrank: -25.770 (I'm called "Racecraft")

Can't match Rob Swindells - 25.770, but my +19.8 is all with the default
setups.  I always use default setups.

When you say default do you mean with the default fuel load as well?

Then, you'll gasp, ponder for a moment why you've squandered your life
playing a video game, poop your pants and keel over dead.

Sorry, I'm just teasing.
Good luck! :-)

Adjusting the fuel load only and nothing else.
Steve!

Interesting.  I may try this myself.  I envision my 'default' driver to have a
rank of about +70...<g>

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

In that case my GPL Rank with default settings would be much lower.

When *I* refer to default i mean * default.*

Hehe, no, afraid not :)  All my PB's were done with about 5-9 L worth of
fuel (depending on the track).

I suppose you could say I'm not really using the default setups then, since
I adjust the fuel load.  Depends on how you see it.

God, imagine trying to get a decent GPLRank with full tanks! :o(  My
definition of torture...

Or, you could run 76 laps to get the fuel down.

Steve,

I did a piece on this a while ago here in r.a.s. and
did a few sub Papy time laps to show, in theory
that it could be done.

The text is part of the GPLEGS stuff which is now on
the web here : http://users.bart.nl/~hansvd/school/

The Default laps themselves are on Eldreds site
here : http://www-personal.umich.edu/~epickett/gpl.html

These are with fuel adjusted of course, which I'm sure
is what you meants.

Exactly. Hotlaps with full fuel is nonsense!
