    I've only read so far only two pages.  what I have read so far,
However, Is **Driver school** potential!!  If TOM or anyone else could
take this reading and implement that to an on coarse and off coarse
drivers school....  The Online racing drivers school will have it's
birth.

    Just think of it...  The only ones that will be crashing on the
first lap will be the ones that make a mistake rather then the ones that
don't know what a brake point is ;-)

    My hats off to TOM for the excellent article and teaching tool. BTW;
I'll be driving the ring in second gear later today, Maybe I can run a
faster lap in that second gear alone<g>

Thanks again TOM,
Mike Barlow

I agree fully Ralph and Mike. Kudos to Tom for a very well-written article.
I'm somewhat embarrassed, but my usual attempt at learning a new track in
GPL goes something like this.

1.) Try to go very fast
2.) Spin out get frustrated
3.) Try to go very fast again
4.) Spin out, get very frustrated
5.) see #1

This is fantastic stuff  Tom! I haven't had a chance yet to test it, but it
sounds like a great approach.

yes and possibly pon somethingh like VROC you could get a little icon next
to your name signifying that you have passed the racing school's test. More
experienced drivers could skip the learning part and just take a certifying
test.
