it looks like these guys are the best:
Wolfgang Woeger
George Sandman
Dave Mansell
Ivo Franic
Jure Zagoricnik
Ian Lake
Casper Gripenberg
(sorry, graeme. you are ALMOST there. i'd be pulling for ya if you were
racing, though!)
we need to get all of these guys in a full-length series to fight it
out.
i've got $5 on mansell takin' it all (if graeme isn't involved). care to
wager?

Todd.
Racing at this level with pro damage and short races does mean that if you
make 1 little mistake you have lost you chance of winning, but you still
have to average 1.20 lap times to have any chance of winning.
The second round had to be put off because of a packet dropping problem
with the cable. So If there is anyone one out there with a big fat PC and a
fast fast internet connection who would like to be involved with the highest
level of online racing contact Randy from his home page.
Todd.

Actually some of the driver you mentioned already compete in races
against each other. Namely wolfgang, george, me, and dave if he
decides to turns up :)
Check out http://members.home.net:80/rmagruder/ under the elite
division.
or more specifically for the last 2 races at kyalami.

These races are pro-short, so realistic damage is on.
The races are that short because they are online races, and they are
races that include people from america, europe, australia....
Disconections can be a problem. So 2 short races are better than 1
long one.
I'd prefer longer races, but it would almost certainly have to be on a
LAN, otherwise there would be no one left at the end due to discos.

Wow!
I've been *** around Mosport for a while and finally decided to
download a couple of the fastest replays to see how the experts handle
it. Wolfgang Woeger seems to hold the fastest lap at most tracks
including Mosport, so I had to see his lap. And the other one I
downloaded was George Sandman's lap which was just a fraction slower.
The most obvious realisation from watching the two replays is that
these guys have COMPLETELY different styles!
Wolfgang uses ALL the track and then some, occasionally running across
the dirt and the grass, pumping on and off the throttle, sawing the
steering wheel from side to side... He looks really busy behind the
wheel! In fact, Wolfgang's lap of Mosport looks a LOT like any one of
my laps, er... with the significant difference that his record lap
time is several full seconds quicker than mine ever are (in those rare
cases when I actually manage to complete a lap without crashing).
In sharp contrast, George Sandman's lap of Mosport looks like he's out
for a Sunday drive. He is unbelievably smooth and composed, never
locking a tire, smoothly rolling the steering wheel into and then out
of the corners, and calmly blending in just enough throttle to drift
gracefully out of the turns. He appears completely and utterly
unruffled and looks like he could be turning effortless laps like this
all day long, while simultaneously sipping from his coffee cup and
holding conversations on his cell-phone!
I've been consoling myself with delusions that Wolfgang's multiple
world records on nearly every track must be all be down to pure luck.
He's probably just one of those 'one-lap wonders' that specialise in
hot-lapping. He couldn't possibly sustain that kind of pace over a
full race distance without frequent trips through the scenery, or at
the very least without melting his tires. Surely in an actual race
situation the calm and composed style of someone like George Sandman
will always win over someone with Wolfgang's frantic style.
Yet you're telling us now that, not only does Wolfgang manage to WIN
online races against the world's best GPL drivers, but he also tossed
in another world record fastest lap while in an ONLINE SESSION!!??!!
Why do I find this so humbling? No, my self esteem is still intact.
I'm certain once I buy that Cray supercomputer and practice for
another 10 years, I could someday be just as good as Wolfgang.
Except you'll probably be telling us next that Wolfgang runs GPL on
his old ibm-XT with a 286 chip, and he steers using the keyboard...

p.s. I sure would like to see a replay of one of these 'Elite' races!

1:18.90 sounds a little unrealistic to me. Excuse my scepticism, but can
someone confirm this time was driven from the***pit, or that blasphemous
chase view. If it was the former....kudos, and i've got some serious
practicing to do.<g> If it was the latter....shame on you ;-)

Seriously though, it surely would be deeply satisfying to be gifted
with a skill unlike anyone else in the world. But if I ever managed
to set a lap time better than any of the current world's best, I would
*EXPLODE* if forced to keep it a secret!
