Ugh - I *hate* that track.  I had to miss a league race there this past
weekend, and truthfully - I'm not sorry about it...<g>

Why am I that slow, or why don't I like the track?  Cause and effect, man...<g>
 I can't DRIVE the f'king piece of asphalt, therefore, I don't LIKE it...  I'd
rather do the next online GP race at *Monaco* rather than Rouen.

Count me in for either track... though I've yet to not stuff it at Monaco, I
might outlast the others like at the Ring!! ;-))

Seriously, "because" is a pretty vague answer. Is there a particular area or
aspect that is giving you trouble? Details please.

Just noticed you got some Rouen laps up at your site... DL'ing them now and
will watch them. Let you know.

I dislike Rouen almost as much as Spa. But probably I will love it
more when I get in 1:52 zone ;>

Well said that man! These are really really good trackguides, I'd be happy
to use them as living-room wallpaper if I could find a printer big
enough.......

Eldred I only found Rouen enjoyable once I'd used the LOR guide to figure
out the Nouveau Monde, definitely worth a look.

Spa??????? Really?? I love Spa... But Tim Wheatley is the one I must
thank for learning Spa about a year & 1/2 ago.. He really made it easy
for me!! I was stuck at 3:23s-24s & then he did a complete review on
my replay..
Wow what a difference after his critique!! Dropped into the 3:19range
is just a week. Still do 3:20s without much trouble but I've been away
from GPL for awhile and I am just starting to get back into the groove
again {If I have a grove??...lol} just my $0.02 :-)
Cheers Thom_j.

2nd one over here.
I passed the 2.00 easily (have a PB of 1:59.99 there, if I recall right :-), but
still don't like the track. I tend to loose it in the fast corners - probably a
setup problem, dunno.

I was having loads of problems at Rouen until I switched to the Ferrari,
really nailed it after that and it is a joy to drive.

I don't *ever* remember seeing the trees that are mentioned as braking points.
Probably because I had the graphics turned down for frame rate.  I haven't
tried it again since I upgraded my system.

Spa is boring to me.  I mean, it's a nice track, but when I'm racing I never
see any other cars...  They've checked out.  
BTW, I have laps posted on my webpage, if anyone wants to check them out...:
