Nope, I'm not kidding. And yes, I have had other great moments in GPL,
but *none* of them have quiet the same sense of achievement. 3:30 at
Spa was the first "milestone" I achieved, but it was a horribly sloppy
lap so I didn't really feel pride in it. After the Monza 1:30, nothing
was ever quite so good again - not even 2:00 at Rouen, which took me
*ages*!

LOL, I was like that for ages. Getting below 10mins was a feat! Gotta
get below 8:30 though, I just need less mistakes...

BTW Joachim, thanks for putting together a great addon :D

Ditto for me too on the below 8:30 Rafe :( The other x.30 times were
not all out of my reach on most GPL tracks like The Ring. Grrrr :'(

Well, I have the first one.  If I could get the third one, I'd get the second
one<g>.  I don't see either happening soon, though.

Those are REACHABLE?!?  I mean, by non-aliens?

I'm hardly an alien, but here's my stats:
1:58.93 at Rouen
8:22.60 at the Ring (probably never to be repeated)
1:05.30 at the Glen
1:21.06 at Kya
1:22.73 at Mosport
1:50.09 at Mexico

My point was just that the Mosport milestone is a bit ambitious compared to
the rest.

Huh?  I was just saying that if I could get an 8:00 lap at the Ring, that would
take me negative...
Like I said, I don't see that happening soon.

Well, you're an alien compared to ME.  Not that it's hard to do, mind you...<g>

I was ignoring the Mosport time because I knew I couldn't come CLOSE, but
they're all ambitious to me...
