No, it's my paradise.. I'm down to 6.04 thanks to the ring:-) I absolutely
suck at every other track, GPLRank will eventually make me go back to other
tracks, but I find them too boring after mastering the big one :-)

The main attraction of GPLR as I see it is that it's totally transparent
to the user. No messy maths, just a simple system everyone can understand
and check for themselves easily.

Right, having read all the messages in this thread, and having
given them my full and univided attention (except while watching
the highlights of Spain v Yugoslavia - what a game!), my
considered and calculated opinion is this:
GPLRank is *great* I love it!

The Brabham works very well at the Ring with a halfway decent setup.
And my PB (8:58 ish) is in the Ferrari, which is also surprisingly god,
though I found I had to set it up more carefully than the Brabham.
