Well, it did for a while, until the supposed benchmark for us slowpokes, a
certain Mr Pickett, ups his rank again and gets ever closer to the magical
minus figure, thus making a complete mockery of the St. Eldred's Cup!  If
you're reading this, sir, I sincerely hope you DON'T get lucky at the
'Ring!!! <g>

So I suppose, for the moment, my goals should be:

Make 107% or better against the Papy benchmarks (Kyalami, Mosport and
<cringe> Nurburgring still to do)

Drop my rank to less than 100 (the above should sort that)

Try and beat at least ONE of Eldred's times (please stop driving at the Glen
and Monza!)

Ho hum.

p.s. Eldred: when are you going to upload your Monza p.b. lap on your site??

GPLRANK (cough) 131.25

I didn't realize it wasn't there...?  
<checks website files>
There's already a Lotus lap of 1:29.21, and a BRM lap of...slower than that.<g>
 Were you looking for another car?

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Er, isn't your new pb (with the Lotus) a 01:28.66?

Would it cheer you to hear that in my view anyone under 1:30 at Monza
is fast?
(This track needs no memory, just pure driver skill - I'm stuck at
1:31!).
Drive Rouen, Mexico, Spa, Kyalami and Mosport and you're going to be
rocketing past my 110 rank into double figures.
Alternatively, having made 107%, this gives you the right to race. I
find I put up better times racing than tooling around on my own - a
blue Honda coming up behind does wonders for motivation - "No! I'll
not have that tank in front of me!"

haha come on eldred, all that option does is remove vertical glitches in
playbacks, in other words start attacking the track more and your times will
drop.

rms

I did make two changes:
1) Fully linear steering with 0% deadzones and 13:1! (Yes, it works!)
2) Attacking out of corners instead of trying to brake really late.
(Thanx Maxx).

Btw, you are within striking range of Jan "M-16" Verschueren.

Cheers,
Jens
