Well my thought was that it would be in addition to the current
GPL-Rank for those who have sad enough lives <G> to have driven
all tracks with all cars!

It could be called the "I really should get out more" ranking.

Well your in some very well respected company Chris, as Greger Huttu is
one of the few who has in a(fast)lap in every car at every track. As I
mentioned "Their best laps" will show this for a particular driver.
Keep in mind the corner stone of the scale, those original 11
replays. That they exist, frozen in time, allows the scale to be
anchored so solidly, and in a way we can all relate to. There is no
existing standard for an "every car" scale. You could use world record
times, but they keep moving. You'd need to create a new benchmark.

I havn't done laps in all cars at all tracks myself, as the
scatterings of <G>'s in my last post suggest it wasn't really
meant to be that serious.
Thanks for your reply though Don and I get your point about the
benchmark and it does sound a sillier idea the more I think
about it.

Just think though, instead of being minutes behind Greger, I
could be hours behind him (7 cars x 11 tracks = BIG GAP)

:)

Here's a word from THE KREATOR. You are right. ;-) Another
Screamer member (Bill Tillman) suggested the implementation of
classes (300-200, 200-100, 100-0, 0- -20 and so on) which
sounds like another interesting idea. What do you think?

That could be valid. In training, there are no other cars on the track. In
practice for a race, you could catch a draft from another car...

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

Geez, my time is ALREADY limited... I only have times for all tracks with only
two marques.
