1:29.60 to be precise, 2 weeks practising with on the Eagle instead of the
twitchy Lotus with my new DIY-wheel made me drop from +1:32-ers to
sub-1:30-ers. I guess what really did it for me is learning trail-braking
and no more engine-braking. I never beleived such small changes in driving
style can make such a difference in laptimes.
Oh and I forgot... recalibrating... my throttle wasn't totally open when I
pushed my pedal to the metal before... :-/

Now, back to Monza!
I'll say this very quietly: Greger & Wolfgang here I come.... ;-)

Well done on the sub 1:30 though. It took me ages to do it, but since I did
it has gone from good to fantastic.

I have finally nailed another 2 PB's.

At Spa I'm down to a 3:23:65 ( all down to the Masta kink change) and at
Kyalami I have at last hit the 1:22's. One & a half years of playing & I'm
finally getting there.

PS. Here in Scotland we're finally getting access to ADSL lines so beware
lads, I'm a'comin' for on-line mayhem.

And to Tim... Congratulations! I've beaten my PB on Monza two days ago
in my Ferrari. I dropped from 1:29.90 to 1:29:606. I've broken the 1:30
barrier a while ago and had been stuck in the 1:29.90's for just too
long. It feels great to see how you can keep improving your times even
after over a year of driving.

What other sim/game is good enough to keep people enjoyed for so long?
The  game I played longest before GPL was Myth: the fallen lords, wich I
played a lot for 5 to 6 months. I think this is very long for a regular
game. With GPL the end of enjoyment is nowhere in sight even after all
this time. Great job papy!

    What car are you using ? While I can't get below 3:29s at Spa in the
Brabham, I have run several 1:22.7-9s at Kyalami.
