I don't know why, maybe your all just too nice, maybe I'm insecure... I just
want you to know some things...

1. Oh GOD I am obsessed with Motoracing! I even read Eddie Irvine's book! The
modern era is what really does it for me... especially the 80's! THAT for me is
the "golden" era. Roll on Melbourne'99!

2. I am reading Steve Smith's book which came with the game. (I know Steve from
Compuserve, and I also know Joachim Trensz who is credited on the first page!)
So I am learning about the era. I have also seen some footage of that season in
Murray Walker's "Motorsport Spectacular" which includes Clarke's (famous?) 3rd
place finish at Monza 1967. But it's not the same for me. Stupid ***y bunch
of eccentrics :o)

3. I will be the fastest at Nurburgring... oh yes, I will be the fastest. Mark
my words Arnoe, Hine et al. !!! In fact I promise you the top 4 world fastest
laps at the Nurburgring, in GPL, will be held by british drivers! Come on
England!

4. I will switch to Manual Braking eventually, I just want to learn to control
the throttle. I think Winfield taught me how to be ***y fantastic on the
brakes :) And I know how to blip! blip! blip! blip! (that was 5th to 1st)

Cya,

You think you will be the fastest and you are still using autobrake? wake up...
Current fast laps at the ring are 8:03 and will be in the sevens soon.
Good luck, you'll need plenty of it.
