Hey Tony. You can setup an account, upload your player.ini, and use
lots of GPLRank features without a time in for all the tracks. You do
need a time in for all tracks to get a rank score in the main list.

Come see how you rank, at the GPLRank site

I'm a Canadian, so I can pretend to be a Brit if you want (we have the same
queen).

Or I can pretend to be an American, since most non-Canadians can't tell the
difference anyway <g>.

Seriously, I think the proportion of Americans in this newsgroup is low
compared to many others. F1-related sims tend to attract many nations.

Naturally. No-one here would think of doing summat like that... :-)

More than you might think, old chap. We're easily the second most
numerous nationality. Which means there are enough of us to have fun
confusing the Yanks (WI 54 all out! Ha! Intertoto Cup! Hah!).

Not that much so. Anyway, never mind the width, feel the quality. I
mean, look at these GPLRank[1] stats:

United States: 209 drivers; average handicap +89.497
United Kingdom: 120 drivers; average handicap +46.231

Tells its own story really, dunnit? (Don't mention the Finns, tho')

[1] What's GPLRank? Something that, in the space of weeks, has become
the GPL drivers' fundamentalist religion... it's here:

I say old chap, what oh! How are you old man, jolly good show, what!

Theres loads of us Brits here abouts, usually giving it the large mate.

Check out the UK GPL league, see the link and info on my webpage (no ads
either!). The url is below.

So, then I discovered GPL Rank, and managed to get down from 80 to 30
seconds...................which was nice.

I've resisted entering my country as Wales until my times are good enough .
When I checked about a week ago there was only one Welsh entry and he had a
handicap of +29 . I'll make less impact on the UK listing for now but it
would be good to have a Welsh team so long as our times are good enough .

Well, it depends if your times are any good :).
If you are, your welcome to become a British GPL citizen when you log your
times on GPLRank :)

Yeah, anything over +45 and we'd have to reconsider :-)
