Let's start a new thread: WHO'S THE BIGGEST "F1GP freak in the world" ???

I thought for some time that I would be the one (before I got Internet-access,
that is... :-) )

I had this list made in Excell, with my 20 best laptimes on every circuit. Each
entry complete with driver and date...I maintained it for more than 2 years !

And then I started analysing which driver had most entries, on which day I broke
my record the most times etc..

And then I started driving qualifications on every circuit and add them together
to compose an 'overall' time.

And then..
But of course, when I entered the Net, I turned out to be a simple amateur...

I sympathise, It happened to me too.

My record is 4 full length GPs, including half hour qualifying
sessions in a day. That was a couple of years ago and was on the Atari
ST. My record on the PC is probably 3 of the same.

Also, what's people's records for the most wins in a season -
genuinly, without play-save-play-crash-restore-play, etc. I've only
done 9 as I tend to wipe out a wing or two a few times in some races.

I'd rather we didn't start such a thread. I've a horrible feeling I
know where the finger would end up pointing... :-)

But can you do the same with Indycar?
The longest race I have ever driven without crashing was 20% of Long Beach.

I don't play Indycar very often. I kept it in my hard drive just because I
spent money and bought it. Why would I want to go around in circles anyway?
Yet, I think I did better than 20% in one of the road courses, though.

Dave ! I wasn't thinking about YOU:I just thought you would be smart enough to
figure out by yourself that you were not allowed to this comp (reason:only
normal, non obsessed persons are allowed)
