One of the reasons that I have little interest in on-line racing is that,
when racing against the AI, I can wrap myself in a blanket of imagination
that allows me to compete against Brabham, Hill, Clark, et al., something
not possible if the opponent is Ed Kowalski from ***, Ohio. :o)

Aww, poor old Mexico. I think a lot of people have had this opinion
about Mexico at first - I certainly did. Funny though, now after
several races there, that has turned completely around and I actually
look forward to racing there. It's become one of my favourite tracks.

I think that someone was a TV commercial. Advertising the fact that it
is the year of the Old people. I think it is just John "Menzies"
Howard's way of sucking up to the elderly.

We have so many "days of" and "years of" that I wouldn't be surprised to see
one celebrating tinea or colonic irrigation or whatever takes your fancy.
Sorta loses impact after a while.

And yes, I understand what you are saying about GPL vs
<insert-name-of-any-sim-here>, I put it on the shelf for a while when I
was at my most actice on TEN/TPTCC, but reinstalled it the other day for
my review of the RRC pedals, and haven't run anything else since....btw,
is 1:27's at Zandvoort any good at all ?
I see the hotlappers are running in the 22's, but I'm no hotlapper
