GPL: Is using the rail in 1st corner Monza faster?

by Patrick Dogg » Tue, 27 Jul 1999 04:00:00

I just won my first race in GPL in Monza, but I'm not driving completely
fair as I use the rail in the first corner. When I drive in 6th gear I just
run into the rail and remain flat out on the throttle. That way I can easily
overtake the AI drivers and make up some time I lose in the rest of the Lap.

By the way my best lap so far is 1:30.08 ( not that fast yet I know, but I'm
just playing the game for a couple of days)

My question is: Is using the rail really faster than not using it or will I
eventually be faster staying away of the rail.

I realise that when I turn up the damage reality level I will not be able to
use the rail.

Greets,

Dogge

LOL!

What happens when you use the 'rail' in every corner?

You will be 'faster' if you don't drive at all. That way, your laptimes
will be zero. No one else will be able to top those times..

Well, do you want to keep 'riding the rail' while using a no damage
setting, or do you want your laptimes to mean something?

Thats something you will have to answer.

LOL he he

Yeah when I first got GPL and into reading the GPL sites I submitted a
1:25:94 lap to schubi's hot laps thinking I just broke the world record!!!!!

I didn't realise they had a rules section in English instead of German.

I was politely told to READ THE RULES.

But dam I was fast!, I rode the rails in the first corner and again into the
lesmos corners.

So I'd say you have a bit to work on if 1:30:08 is your best!!

Happy driving.

I wondered why I never read messages about this before. It's so
IRRITATING when racing online and someone is taking me over by riding
the rail....

Riding the rail should damage the car instantly and severly, even in
novice mode!

Mark is correct & if you race in "Int Short" you will always have
damage riding this rail.. Unless you are crawling down the rail &
then you'll fly by them!! ;O)
Cheers Thom_j.

You could have mentioned it before.  We wouldn't flame you... <g>

That might be harsh. What if you just drift wide and slide through the
grass...?  You'd be out of the race, even on Novice...

I do it online all the time, and have won a few races that way.  It may be
considered wrong......but if its in the game, its in the game.

During racing online we see a few idiots and immature people join the
races so I guess if their in the game, their in the game.

Consider yourself a gamer then....Not a sim driver!
I'm afraid the only thing you have won is contempt by all the people you
have "beaten" by cheating them out of a fair race.
