"O" ok I see now!! Sorry I am getting old & have always been dense.. :-)
Btw: on GPLrank and good racers: Well I feel you can not be an extreme
moron nor a racing crap-head with such a low GPLrank.. jmho!! :-)

Well, my Mexico PB is 1:51.xx, and my Mosport PB is 1:24.xx.  Bottom line, I
can't win at either track, even using standard AI.  Therefore, it's not easy
