Silverstone - sub 1:30
Monza - sub 1:29
the 'Ring - sub 9:00
The one that felt 'best' was Silverstone; an admittedly scrappy lap, but I
never thought I'd break 1:30.....it felt MUCH better than when I broke 1:30
at Monza!
Now if I could just reach a sub 8:30 at the 'Ring.....

I like Silverstone - I think it gets a bit of a raw deal in the circuit
stakes. With a nicely set up car, you can oversteer most of the way :-)

Congratulations Craig!
Your landmarks surprise me. Not themselves but rather combination of
them. When I've managed to go sub 1:29 at Monza my 'Ring times
were below 8:20 and my Silverstone times around that time
were sub 1:28. If you practice these tracks a bit more you'll
probably get big improvement.
Good luck,
Alex.

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

I'm sure you'll surprise yourself, I never thought I'd get close to
some of my times but I'm always able to get close or beat them with a
bit of practice. Except my 1:30 at Monaco, that was a bit of a fluke
:D
GPLRank is still going at http://newgplrank.schuerkamp.de/ I was
wondering why it had been so long since you'd updated.
