Problem with most of what I read from posts here is that everyone is so
***ing serious about their racing...

"Hey, I've shaved off .000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of a
second of me lap time..........!!!!!!!!!" WHOOPEY ***ING DO.........sez I.

Lighten up for pete's sake.

ps: I still think GPL is a game for mad ***ers.

One more suggestion,practice practice practice practice and practice.Then
practice a little more.
My times improve with the more hours I drive.Once in a while I'll take a week
off and come back fresh.
Then again, I have an ***ive personality.
Happy racing all
Buster

Read that last paragraph twice, I couldn't believe the difference it made
for me. I was frustrated too, and I started with the trainer cars with the
aids on. My son refused to use the trainers and jumped right in the F1 car,
so pride made me do the same. I didn't measure success in lap times as much
as how many times I went off the course! Then I read
The-Complete-Works-of-Alison, got in the Cooper, manual everything, Alison's
setups, and all of a sudden I'm knocking 2, 3, 5 seconds off my best times
at every track.

Also, pick a track to train at (I'd suggest Monza). Look at the replay that
comes with the game, using the in-car camera. Note the breaking points, and
especially note the gear and throttle range (high-low-med) used in each of
the corners. You should get a good idea of where you can push and where you
need to back off to make it around. The Coventry gearage may be a little
different from the Lotus you're watching, but they're pretty close.

I recently made additional improvements by getting GPLSpyGirl (save that
until you can hold your line and stay on the track the whole race, it won't
be long). Discovered what I already knew, a little slower in gives you a
better line and a lot more speed off, critical at places like Spa.

As others have said, if you can stick with it, you'll love it!

I'd be heartbroken if you stopped posting these little jewels.
I'm laughing myself right out of my freakin' chair (arse over tit)
every time I read your posts. Not that much unlike reading
"Trainspotting". Quite a welcome breath of fresh air in my opinion.

ps: I'm definately a mad ***er. :)
