Thanks chaps ;-)

(I just did my first clean GPL lap at the Ring - 12th or so lap ever -
in 8:54.02,
  but now I have *no* idea whatsoever in which curves the real Big Leaps
Forward lie hidden  ;)

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

Getting down to 8:30/8:40's was just a matter of experience for me. Once you
start to remember what's coming up, and you manage your first clean, fast
laps you can knock whole tens of seconds off your laptimes simply by not
crashing as much ;-)

Once you get down to the 8:20's (ie negative) is starts to get even harder
to improve, because once you know the track, and can do clean laps, it
becomes just like any other track. You're searching for 10th's at every
corner.

I managed an 8:06 almost a year ago, and it's taken just about every spare
evening & weekend since to find those extra 7 seconds, chipping away at my
PB bit by bit.

What's been really frustrating recently though is having GPLRA tell you your
combined laptime would be a sub-8, if only you could get a clean lap in.

When every lap you do could be your first sub-8, every tiny mistake counts,
just like any other track.

I've had previous PB's of 8:00.35, 8:00.25, 8:00.22 too. Gutting isn't it
