I was wondering what peoples average times around the ring.....not your hot
laps(they make your eyes bleed)
i'm still doing 9.30s or thereabouts
oz.
If you practice enough, so that you learn all the corners by memory, a
8:30 really isn't that hard, you don't have to push the car to do a
8:30 lap. 'average' times vary mostly between 8:00 and 8:30 online,
with the occasional exceptions.

Just go to GPLRank(url below) then click on *Multiple Choice Hell*,
and for for track select Nurburgring, you'll get a list of 2,170(F1)
lap times.

My PB is a shade over 8:20, but in the car I'm happiest with (Ferrari)
I tend to get nervous below about 8:45. Actually, I'm nervous *above*
8:45 as well...

Eldred, please mail me a replay of you driving at the Ring, I'd like
to examine it in RA, you must be losing major time somewhere..
Considering the times you're driving at the other tracks, I can't
image you can't drive faster than 8:38 on the Ring..

I found GPL SpyGirl really useful to compare my laps with the Papy replay of
8:21.xx - I usually find I can stay reasonably close for about half a lap
and then a silly mistake on my part leaves me watching the other car
disappearing over the horizon.....

I /can/ run a lap in my head (last time there were just two corners I wasn't
quite sure about, the right/left sweepers around Metzgesfeld) and my PB
(from the days when I had time to play regularly) is 8:40. The last few
goes
have been around 9:20, though that's more lack of practice with GPL at all.
Just returned to the ng - good to see GPL still makes up about half the
traffic!

Eldred et al ,
I've just cracked it ( just , 8.16 ) by simply trying harder , gaining a
little in each bend , learning the track more thoroughly with every lap I
spend there - no magic formula. BUT ..... there IS an awful lot of time out
there if you think about it Eldred , a tenth in every bend would take at
least 15 seconds off ! so if you can find a tenth in just some of them ...
don't get disheartened when you crash - the important thing is that you're
learning all the time.
Tip 1 - if you can find a little exit speed out of Bergwerk ?
Onto main straights ?
There has to be a second down those at least if you can find a mile-an-hour
on each.
Tip 2 - throttle though the bottom of the Foxhole , a few nerves perhaps
....
Tip 3 - there's loads of time round Wipperman / the Brunchen / Flantzgarten
just 'cos it's so hard you're seldom at 10/10ths.
Tip 4 - try 2nd gear where you've been in 1st especially round the above.
Tip5 - keep breathing.
All the best , John
PS. I can't get a 1.27 at Monza to save my life ! or a 1.20 at Kyalami.
I just can't see where the time might be , so you have my sympathy.

Well, good and bad. We keep getting reports of people discovering the game,

LOL! Yeah, breathing IS a secondary concern in some places at the Ring...<g>
I don't know the names of the turns enough to know which areas you're talking
about. I'd have to look at a track map. Bergwerk is the 'hedges' section,
right? I'll check your suggestions with the map when I get home.
Well, you're about 2 seconds faster on both tracks... Right now, I'd settle
for THOSE two seconds<g>.
