I've been tickled by recent posts about finally breaking the 1:30 barrier at
Monza, after a year of trying.

I know I'm way behind most of you on this, but I almost never drive the
Lotus.  I enjoy the Ferrari so much (with Alison's setups loosened up a bit)
that it's my favorite.  Just a joy to drive.  But on a whim, I downloaded
Ricardo Nunnini's (sorry if I've misspelled your name, Ricardo) setups for
the Lotus and have been smashing my personal best times.

It only took me seven laps at Monza, a little softening up and then twenty
laps at the Glen, and only a single lap at Spa.

So now I can devote the next four to six weeks playing around with the Lotus
and having a renewed BALL.  Then what?  Maybe I'll let some air out of one
of the Ferrari tires and learn how to drive that way.  Who knows?!

What a sim!

Regards,

Kurt

The bigger question is will this newsgroup ever grow tired of the "GPL
is the greatest" threads?

Wake me up when they figure out a way to use the GPL engine in a modern
sim.

Probably, not.  You're bored.  I'm having fun.  Guess I win!

I forgot to say in my post about finally getting under 1:30,  that I
always drive the Eagle.

I agree, I've never yet got bored with GPL, I have still not even tried
all the tracks yet (I have never had even one lap at Mexico or at
Dubia?) and I've not tried all the cars (Only tried the Lotus, Ferrari
and Eagle)

The test of a truly great program, game, sim, whatever, is how long it
appeals? I *still* drive GP2, and I'm sure I'll still be driving GPL in
another couple of years....

Until something supersedes GPL, probably not :-)

Give me a sim with the realism of GPL and the popularity of NASCAR 2
and we will have something to talk about. Right now we sound like a
bunch of Commodore Amiga owners in the mid 1980's telling each other
that the PC isn't any good.

That's where I got them.

Hey, Ricardo!

Can I be your manager?

That would keep me from seeing a lot of useful information. Setup tips
I'm interested in, hardware issues, driving tips, pretty much anything
but "GPL is the best". Tell me something I don't know.

If your not happy just filter the word GPL.  End of thread.

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise
how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

You now understand why even one year after release people still post
"GPL is the Greatest", not one "modern" sim has come close, although
personally I would love to drive a modern F1 or CART sim with equal physics.

Seeyas on the track.
