Well, some of the 1937 gp cars had 500-600 hp in less than 2000 lb's,
so I doubt floor it and go was a good technique :-)

: I don't know what it's like to drive a 1937 race car, but here's the deal...
: When you drive GPL, it feels like you're driving a car.
My lord what car do you have? Let me know so that I can avoid buying
one :-)
GPL has much more in common with the fairground ride "the wheel of
nausea and sudden contact with armaco" than any car I've ever driven
thank god. :-)

I wish the tires looked better as well, they were definitely more round-
shouldered and thinner in those days.
I'm very disappointed, I was looking forward to something like GPL, but
we've got something that will satisfy nobody.
