GPL : Think positive, I'm...!

Hello,

... just posted it to GPLRank ...

Guess who is NEGATIVE!
No champagne available,so I need to settle for a bottle of beer.
(it's good though :-) )

And ok.
Here's a virtual round of beer to every person reading this message!
Cheers!!

The last seconds needed were snipped off at the Ring.
I did manage to do a 8:24 lap with one big total spin on the grass.
I studied the lap with replayanalyzer, and I think I spent something like
4-6 seconds
spinning, so with a clean lap I should get to near 8:20.

But now I just need to enjoy the feeling.....  aahhhh......oooohhhhh.....
:-]

I'll leave hotlapping now for a while and try to get my racing skills up, so
see you at VROC races!

BTW.
I just went back to default setup with just gear ratios copied from G.
Huttu's setup.
I feel quite confident now in the lotus with that setup.

Congrats! I'm working on it (reaching zero) myself. Shaved almost ten seconds
off my fastest 'ring lap last night, from 8:39 to 8:30, which helped knock my
Rank down to about +17. A few more seconds from my 'ring lap and maybe shave
five seconds or so from my fastest Spa lap and maybe I'll get there.

Not as good as Banks's Mild, but very palatable. There goes any hope of

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

You've knocked off 18 seconds fairly quickly, though...

Now that's what I call progress!  Seems to me we were fairly close at GPLRank
just a month or so ago.  You must be taking the same stuff as Eldred. :)
Congrats!

Maybe, but I'm not naive enough to believe that I can get 'negative' that
easily...
