rec.autos.simulators

After lurking in this fine ng I became intrigued with words like
'trailbraking', '36pfs', 'GPLRank' and 'Eldred'. One PC upgrade and Alison
Hine's <blush> site bookmark later, I'm now joining the ranks of frustrated
(yet enthusiastic) drivers and sub-10 minute 'Ring wannabes across the
world.  God bless this ng!! <sniff>

Btw, other classic wifey quotes, re. GPL :-

On my driving - "you're not very good, are you?"
On the Lotus's sound - "is it supposed to sound like that?"
On the news of my ***, sweat and tears which resulted in a 1:32 at Monza -
"what shall we have for dinner"

You can see what I'm up against.  I'm sure Schuey doesn't get this sort of
'enthusiasm' from Corrina.

Can't believe there really is a duct-tape website; my order's now in place!
(Only joking, love).

"> On my driving - "you're not very good, are you?"
Nice. But how about my all time fav.
"Are you the one at the back ? "

When you bring home his paycheck, you're wife will stop complaining ;)

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...
Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

And of course... I can't find it now.  Damn.

 I didn't do a 4 wheel drift 'cause... Well that bmw 320d is kind of
exensive and judging from my gpl ranking I'm not very good(yet).

So if you see a fiesta diesel using all the revs away from traffic lights,
that's probably me about to be told off.

PS:  I *think* my best time is about 1:31'08, but I have been spending most
of my time in the garage.

| Hehe. My top time is 1.31'60 or something. I was making real good progress

| allright!). Now I'm driving in the 1.32- 1.33 range... I stopped today
| because I'll be taking driving lessons soon. Let's hope it will also
improve
| my lap times in gpl.

It always seemed strange to me, that sometimes you
need to lift off few kilometres before the braking point:>

Alex.

 Why did you give up on the key board?
 Decent FF wheels are REALLY high priced here... so I got 1:29.8 in a
lotus with the numpad/F5-6-7 combo without slipstreaming.
 I think training mode and hotlaps do not help, single race is the way
to go IMHO.
