I submittet my player.ini file again yesterday to update my GPL Rank
after a blistering practice lap at Rouen (well, relatively speaking:),
but when I went into the history page i found out that my new handicap
was 4 and half seconds slower than my previous time.

I have not reinstalled anything, so my player.ini file should be the
same as I used last time i submitted laptimes.

Weird...

Don't know the answer Olav, but the possiblities are: there is a bug in
the program, good chance ;-). You deleted a warped time in your
player.ini since Jan 04/00 and forgot, or someone at GPLRank deleted
your times between now and Jan 04 for having a warp time that was under
the current WR(you should have recieved email notification of this)

Did you create a different driver, perhaps?  Fd/Fg?

I have neither. Maybe I should just try to submit the file again and
see what happens, or drive faster :) Thanks for the reply!

  Don't worry Olav.  Most of my 'material' goes right over all the Yanks
heads too.  Perhaps I should go mainstream....like
'Take my wife.....
