To compare your times with these, add "Papyrus Benchmark" to your buddies list. There are no benchmark times for F2 or F3 but a handicap of around +90 is considered to be equivalent to a 0 F1 handicap.

I understand that the sum of all the F1 original track benchmark times is 25mins 20:22 secs. What are the individual track benchmark times.. are they published somewhere? Also what are the track benchmark times for F2 and F3 ?

In fact, F2 and F3 times are compared to the *F1* benchmark - which is why the GPLRanks are slower. Hence (as Phil just said) +90 in an F2 is considered roughly equivalent to 0 in an F1. -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

I have seen drivers state their three GPLRanks for F1,F2 and F3.. so presumably the benchmark times for F2 and F3 must exist ( at least in the minds of the GPLRank administrators) otherwise how could you have a F2 or F3 GPLRank ??
