I'd like to thank (in particular - there are far too many people whose
advice has been valuable) JensSchumi for his LogiCorner page for the tip to
eradicate the slackness in my LWFF, and the author of
gn_nurb_fer_8m07_43.fe1 (Graham Nash?) for the Ferrari set-up I was using
(although putting the time in there shows up how far I'm still off the
pace...) and finally my new Athlon which I'm sure has made driving smoother.

So then Eldred, the gauntlet is thrown down. My times are comparable with
yours (within a second mostly, and you're quicker at Zandvoort and [spit]
Mexico) with glaring one exception: 16+ seconds at Nurburgring.

Next target - a decent time at Monaco, where I'm 1.57 seconds slower than
Dave Kaemmer.

promised me that when I actually go negative I'll be 666th :-)

"On some laps I'd get as many as fif*** corners really right, but Moss, he
gets them all right on every lap" - Von Trips after the 1961 German Grand
Prix.

P.S. The shine was taken off the day a little later when my home team
(Coventry City, whom I've supported through thin and thin for more years
than I care to remember) were relegated from the Premier Division after 34
years. But nothing could wipe the silly grin off my face.
P.P.S. "A Pretty Good Day So Far" is a reference to an obscure record by
Loudon Wainwright III, in case anyone was wondering.

Ah shaddap! Things are bad enough as it is without being reminded of that,
thank you very much :-(

Thanks for the encouragement

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Phooey!  No contest, Tony.  Even if I beat you at the ring, you'd still be 10
or so seconds faster.  I can't seem to gain 5 seconds, let alone the 25 I need
to pass you...
I also just got a new Athlon 1.2G - it hasn't leped yet.  I don't seem to have
Graeme's setup, but I have one from Roland Ehnstrom that he ran 7:58 with.  I'm
about a minute slower, with the same setup.

Wow, that's an old setup :-) You should look around for some of the
newer ones (Try Marc Mercer's) and you could immediately take about 4-5
seconds off your time.

And I'm a BROMLEY fan and, be afraid my friend, because the Ravens will
be back soon... :-)

It ain't the set-up, it's the driver that's a few seconds off the pace!

Apologies for misspelling your name,

You should still try :-) If I remember rightly my setup was for GPL 1.0,
some of the newer setups should give you a much more balanced car and
allow you to go quicker.

NP - Everyone does :-)
