Keyboard times for Watkins Glen?

Keyboard times for Watkins Glen?

Wow. Played GPL at my mate's house last weekend and it's ace! My Ferrari FF
wheel and copy of GPL are arriving at Staples on Monday (whoop!) - in the
mean time I've been playing the demo (with keyboard controls, auto shifting)
at Watkins Glen. My best (after well over 100 laps of practice in the Lotus)
is 1:10.76 and I was wondering if there were any "keyboard hotlap" times to
compare this to?

Also, is there any way to drive on different tracks in the demo? I saw
mention of a Monza demo and downloaded what I think is the track data files
(2036k .zip from Papyrus) but can't get it to work - "Can't load track,
quitting weekend" or something. Doh...

Great game anyway :)

 I have a 1:06.4 replay with a keyboard and a
lotus if you are interested.

 In my opinion:
 -auto shifting is BAD.
 -to get fast with a key board is HARD.

 Save your fingers some pain and wait till the
wheel =)
 My configuration:
 gas: numpad 8
 steer: numpad 4/6
 shift up: F7
 brake: F6
 shift down: F5
