GPLrank made me learn the Ring

  I've been playing GPL since it first came out, it was love at first drive.
The last few month's I hadn't been playing very often (  work,women the usual
thing's that can get in the way)  and was looseing my touch, I use to run low
1:27s at Monza, 1:57s Rouen etc., But never got around to the Ring.
 When GPLrank came out it inspired me to give it a try and see how I would
fair,I figured I had some good times and would give it a go, I was humbled very
quickly when I ranked 572. I compared times and realized the Ring was killing
me, I drove a 10:02 just to get a ranking, and it was a chore to get that ( in
the Lotus ).
  I tried an Allison's Ferrari setup and managed a 9:16 then a 9:01.43 and
moved up to 417, and I actually enjoyed doing it.I'm starting rally like the
Ring, I love a good challange and it certainly offers that!.
  If it wasn't for GPLrank, I don't know when I would have gotten around to the
Ring, if at all. GPLrank has rekindled my love for this sim and I'm doing those
2,3 hour sessions again, I would like to eventually get into the 100 rankings.
  I just wanted to thank the folks who started up this site.

   I play many other racing sim's but GPL is my only love.
   I'm sure there's a few out there who know how I feel.

   Happy racing everyone and good luck.

rankings.

Same thing here. GPLrank really pushed me to learn the ring and boy I do
love the track now! Im sure that theres lots of other GPL veterans like us
who never took the ring up until GPLrank came.

I think I know exactly how you feel :). Good luck on getting to the top 100!

Cheers,
