And if a beginner sees WTF after an accident, he'd better disconnect pretty
quick <G>

Hi,

I've just started racing online (free, fast connection now),
mostly with GPL.  Everyone seems to use two and three
letter abbreviations and I don't have a clue what any of
them mean.

Could someone point me to a site, or maybe just list the
most common abbreviations that are used.

Cheers

The only ones I can think of are..
PO= pit out:
        This is typed by a driver who is just exiting the pits.  This tells the
other drivers that th-ere is someone who is on cold tires, still not up
to speed.

PI= Pit In:
        This tells everyone behind this driver that he is going to be slowing
down so he can go in to the pit lane.

PO RT= Pit Out Race Trim:
        This tells people the same thing as PO but also includes that this
driver is driving with a full tank of fuel.  It could also say that this
driver is no longer on track to qualify but rather to get the feeling of
the car with the added weight of fuel.

        I can't think of any others that I've seen.

In N3 I see a "FU" in every race, don't really know what that is supposed to
mean tho, never saw it in GPL, maybe a specific NASCAR-driver-term... :))
