I'm in the middle of doing a direct comparision. Each day for the next
week I'm going to visit every track I have and just do hotlaps with my
right foot. Then I'll do the same with my left foot. See which is faster.
I suspect the left foot will prove to be, slightly.

Ok Rob, I take it that if you're using defaults with the Lotus then this
means a full fuel load, but what version of GPL?  Is it 1.2?

v1.2 but no, not with a full fuel load, that's just silly :o)

I set the steering lock to 18 too.

Well, I've just been round all those tracks with the default and low
fuel, except Brands and the Oring as I haven't put them back on my
system.  It took me about and hour and a half in all with me doing no
more than 10 laps at each track.  Dare me to post my times?  :)
