it was on Oct 9th, 1998, that i wandered (raced) into the local
software shop, got a copy of GPL, and said goodbye to hundreds of
hours of my life.
and one year on, i think i'm starting getting the hang of it!!

Funny... aside from Monza, which was the standard "starter" track, the
first race I ever completed offline was at Mexico!
If memory serves me correctly I got pole, fastest lap and beat Clark to
the win by 12.63 seconds <smugness> :-))

One year of gracing the GPL world lol :-)
Anyway, in a similar vein, I just made it under the birthday wire with my
first incident-free sub-nine-minute lap of the Ring. Happy birthday,
indeed, GPL!

You get much of the same with online league racing, this is
just a way to carry it over to offline racing.

I now use a different car, and it's usually the first time I try that
car on each track, but it doesn't work as well as when I didn't knew the
track as well :-)
