decision. I've thrown out the automatic transmission! I spent the
afternoon getting used to the idea at Monza and shaved -2- seconds off
my PB! I'm down to 1:35:something, but it feels very much like my first
couple of weeks with GPL. More to think about...controlling the car and
shifting and braking and
accelerating...whoops!...OUCH!...Shift-R...(repeat)
Haven't made it around Spa yet without crashing out, but I can tell that
once I get a handle on it, I'll be going -way- faster. Defenitely more
control of my speed and handling at Monza. Tried Monaco once, but that's
still -way- too much to do at once at this point in my career. Oh yeah!
I qualified 2nd at IMS, right behind (4 secs.) Clark, too. Freaked me so
badly that I blew the first lap in spectacular fashion. I've saved the
weekend and will try again when I'm a little more settled in.
I should be getting the Celery 533 system this month, (up from the
P166), so that should help as well. Once the frame rate is up, I'm
looking foreward to VROC...maybe some F2...?
In the meantime, could someone slower than me (if there is
someone...8^)...) -please- post their player to GPLRank? 'Til then, it's
heavy on the rank for me. I think I've just extended the life of my GPL
installation by a year or two. Ah well, it's the journey more than the
destination. And the destination? Anywhere but the bottom!
Oh, have I mentioned that I really enjoy GPL?
Back to Spa...
