The frustrating thing is that both of these laps are just about .5s off
my PB, and replay analyzer shows that I was a couple seconds ahead of
my PB lap at least half-way around on both laps. Alas, I can't quite
keep up that pace totally error-free, and I always lose a bit of time
in the second half of the lap. It's a concentration thing, really--
my mind always starts to wander in the last third of the lap, and I
bobble the car somewhere and ruin the lap.

Ok, ok, wise guy. :) Right around 8:37, which I know doesn't usually
win any prizes. I was reasonably pleased though, to do it twice in a row.
Marc
I actually find the last third of the lap I start to concentrate more
apart from my mind wandering about ruining all the good work you've done
by getting there. There's nothing worse than losing it in the chicane at
the end of the straight before the stadium section... especially if you
think it's been a good lap!
The ring is truely a magnificant track, well worth the cost of GPL on
it's own!
Apart from the natsy Hobitses!
Cheers,
Andy

Recently I was on a real flyer at the Ring, which I ruined on the last
chicane - checked it out in GPL Replay Analyser, and discovered I was FOUR
SECONDS ahead of my PB until that point!
Since then I've had a whole series of laps at 8:15-8:17, but have never
beaten it.
How annoying is that?
I wrecked after that!

I *distinctly* recall when you couldn't break 8:50. Hope you're still
working at it !
