How are my GPL times compared to yours?

I have had the game for about 3 months and race whenever I get the chance. I
know these times will improve with practice.
Zandvoort 1:34.84
Spa 3:37.95
Rouen 2:10.50
These are the only 3 tracks I race regularly. I have yet to race against any of
you on VROC . On April 9 my Mediaone cable modem gets installed and then I will
try my skills against real living breathing human opponents. See you soon.

Keep in mind, tho, Dhook, that these are very fast times that Pat's
talking about (and all Lotus times). It may seem impossible to get
there... but try all the same. If you can get within 2 or 3 seconds of
the times Pat speaks of, you will be in "racing" range on VROC...
meaning, you won't get left in the dust. With your current times, that
might happen.

Just work to shave a bit more time off, make sure you can run your best
times consistently... then jump on VROC and join us in the fun!

Pat's great while sitting at his PC - arguably among the best there is.
I'm looking forward to hooking up with him (and any other interested
Indiana sim racers) at Stefan Johannson's Karting Center soon to see what
he's really made of. ;-)

Stay tuned for new of the event.

Cheers,

Jim

Hey Jim, I'm in Milwaukee... I'd almost consider making the trip for
that one!! :-)

As Dave said, don't be put off by Pat's fast times at these tracks.
Pat is one of the faster drivers in GPL, but to be very competitive and
to get podium finishes at those three tracks you mentioned, times to
look at trying to achieve would be more in the range of:
Zandy = 1:28  to  1:30
Spa = 3:25  to  3:28
Rouen = 2:02  to  2:05
If you can get close to those times and be consistant, you will be on
the podium more times than not. <G>
Great news about the cable as well..    See you on-line soon...
Cheers,
Ron

but i get cable soon too.  My times are:
Zandy-1:35.44
Spa-3:30.99
Rouen-2:15.xx

I know i can improve these but i havent run these 3 tracks in a while.  Right
