wondering what the equivalent benchmark times for the other original
circuits are so that I can have something to aim for. Do any of you have
any suggestions?
Cheers

Kyalami 1:19.92 Ferrari
Mexico City 1:47.94 Ferrari
Monaco 1:26.76 Ferrari
Monza 1:27.84 Eagle
Mosport 1:21.71 Ferrari
Nurburgring 8:18.09 Ferrari
Rouen 1:56.46 Ferrari
Silverstone 1:27.91 Ferrari
Spa 3:15.24 Lotus
Watkins Glen 1:04.14 Lotus
Zandvoort 1:25.40 Ferrari
My normal car is Ferrari, I do run the other cars occasionally but not
enough to be really quick in them which is why most times are set with the
Ferrari.

While, for some circuits, the real times were good benchmarks, there's no
way most of us will do an 8:04 at the ring (ok, I might not), while 1.28 at
kyalami is possible at Sunday-driver pace

I thought chasing Greger's and Wolfang's times was tough.... I am a long
way from these times.....

Keep in mind that they were basically using 1966 cars for the 1st race
of the season.

That had something to do with the high altitude of the Mexico track.
Because of the high altitude, engines wouldn't run as fast as they
would on other tracks. Since this effect is not simulated in GPL,
Kyalami laps in GPL are quicker than the real times.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, whaddya know - I beat one!<g> I have a 3.26.83 at Spa. I also beat
Kyalami, but apparently that's easy? On the other hand, I'm about 7 seconds
off at Zandvoort and Silverstone(can't find any more there), 9 seconds off at
Rouen, and almost 3 MINUTES off at the Ring...
The 2 or 3 seconds at Monza and Watkins might as well be an *eternity*, as I've
done the most laps at those two tracks...
Oh well - I just have to settle for mediocrity...
