Brian V. Balgobind... get a grip

Hi Brian,

I said that it took me ages before I could run some decent lap times
in GPL, lots of practice, and and F1 2000 I did a low 1.16 lap (16.2
or .3, can't remember) within 2 hours of practice.
I didn't say GPL drivers were better in my last post as far as I can
recal (that happens when you respond to an old post).
Everybody can draw their own conclusion.
Bottom line is, and I think that was very clear in my post, that I
didn't get a sense of achievement with my 1.16 lap, because I allmost
didn't have to practice for it.

Thanks, but really, the fantastic lap time at Barca was no big deal,
that was what my post was all about :)

I'm not too much into car setups, I'm a racer, not an engineer. For
GPL I also downloaded lots of replays and setups. Didn't know it was
forbidden, or that it was unfair breaking a lap record using someone
else's setup and watching a replay. Excuse me please.

WOW, THAT'S MORE THAN HALF A SECOND FASTER THAN I DID AFTER 2 HOURS
PRACTICE! THAT'S FREAKING UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE!!! :)))

Bull, a lot of GPL drivers like GPL. You really didn't get the
intention of my post, did you? That's all I need, a second DGF...

Ofcourse is is Brian (you can call me Andre by the way). Perhaps my
grandmother is a really good GPL driver too if she tried. Being a good
TOCA2 driver doesn't mean you also can't be a good GPL driver.
Again, my post wasn't about GPL drivers being better drivers than
other sim drivers.
In my post I told about my F1 2000 experience, how easy it was for me
to get a very decent lap time after a very short practice perion (a
little bit more than half a second slower can the current world
record, and that after 2 hours of practice... Bernie, where do I
sign?) and because of that I didn't get any feeling of achievement.

Have a beer, calm down, read my post again, try to understand it this
time, and go on with whatever makes you happy.

Andre
