Wouldn't it be nice if we could put a big L-plate on the back of our cars?

I would suggest going to Schubi's site,
(http://www.parc-ferme.de/fastlaps.htm) and downloading replays from various
drivers.  I have found that to be very helpful and have learned a tremendous
amount from many different drivers.

What I discovered was that hotlappers were not out-braking me, or getting
the power down any better, but they were all carrying more speed throughout
the corners.  So as a training method, I started driving the BRM as the car
forces you to maintain your momentum more than any other.  The results?
After 3 or 4 months in the BRM I returned to the Eagle and improved my times
at Kyalami and Zandy by 1 - 1.5 seconds per lap.  Of course this is only
anecdotal and similar results could probably be achieved by driving the
Honda or Cooper, (both much easier to drive than the BRM.)

For a real treat, while at Schubi's click the link at the top marked
"History."  Then click the, "Chassis" link.  Then click the "BRM" link.  Go
to the Mexico section and download Klemen Furlans lap.  Truly a thing of
beauty.

Hope some of this helps.  I know it helped me.

You can edit the GPL cars in a picture editor such as Photoshop, or
even Paint Shop Pro, and stick an L plate at the back and front.

Actually, no you can't. Nuts!
