also, is there a way to continuously see your lap times during training?
i have to stop racing to check out my times.
finally, what is a good lap time at spa before i should consider moving
up to the next level of car - i don't think my 7 minute laps are quite
good enough yet ;)
thx in advance.

3:15 - 3:20. wow. is that with gp cars or trainers?

Anything around 3:30 is pretty decent, in my opinion. I was in an online
race the other day, and this one driver in particular is extremely fast in
his Ferrari (did mostly 3:23-3:26's). Nobody could touch this guy for lap
times... BUT he finished second! The guy that won the race did a best of
(3:33.xx), with most of his laps in the 3:36-> range. That's 13 seconds a
lap slower!.. BUT he was able to avoid all of the chaos that was happening
behind him, so he won easily.
We had a pretty good group of racers there for that race, I'd say you need
to be under 3:40 to be competitive. The key is consistency and staying out
of trouble. You might not win races with these times, but you can be sure
you won't finish last!

I'm talking about taking the Austria track from the demo and copying it into
F1RS !
It appears that MGPR is not a big enough improvement over F1RS to buy it !

Returning to the game itself: BUY MGPRS!! It's sure a lot more realistic in car
behaviour than F1RS was. Browsing through this newsgroup I hear a lot of positive
sounds on GPL too. It's a pity I'm not really fond on historical racing though!
