YANGA!!

Yet Another Negative Gplrank Announcement!! YESSS!!! I always wanted to say that! :) I'm gonna clean my screen now because I didn't know champagne was so sticky! When I submitted my first handicap (104) in august I never thought I would be able to get past handicap 50, 4 months later I'm negative and I've improved my ability with huge steps in such a short time. Nobody probably cares but I feel like I conquered the world :))))) Damn I love gpl! bring on the next challenge! a leaugue maybe? I think I'll still improve my rank but I wont be focussed on it so much anymore

CONGRATS! Now see if you can go Negative on Rally Trophy Rank www.rtrank.com The benchmark times were run by pro rally driver Simon de Banke. They're damn fast and it won't be easy, but then again neither was going Negative on GPLRank was it <g> - David Cook "Tim Vanhee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:RU7P7.71566$[email hidden]... > Yet Another Negative Gplrank Announcement!! > > YESSS!!!

Congratulations Tim. I reckon you're right, I got my handicap negative (just) then went off for something else to aim at...but somehow the Monsters of GPL wasn't quite the same. Tony Whitley GPLRank -0.54 MonsterRank 406.77

Trust me, join a league. It directs your obsession onto a different channel. Now you will obsessively practice the upcoming track every day for the week or two before the event, to the exception of all else. You will tweak your setup endlessly, watching your league mates get farther ahead or farther behind in their PB's. Then after the league race you will completely forget about that track and start on the next one. Oh, and if your league races on the original tracks, you'll probably find your GPL Rank improving as a side effect. When I started in my current league I was -6 something. Now I'm approaching -10, and have broken my PB at every track we have raced so far. And, a league will force you to learn tracks other than the original 11, possibly even the ovals.

Really? I happen to know SdB as he's running scoobynet, the forum for Subaru owners. Great to hear that he's the benchmark :) I must first upgrade my pc to play RT, but I've played it at a friends place and I love it! "David L.

Since the very beginning, so more than 3 years. I didn't play it very much before I got internet, and that's about 2 years I guess that I've been addicted to it. :) "Gerry Aitken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Congratulations Tim, great stuff :) I wonder if like me, you'll stop hot-lapping now you're negative? My handicap has only improved 2 seconds since I went negative (now -2.2) six months ago. btw you don't need to have a negative handicap to race in a league. Also racing in a league will seriously improve your driving and it's the best fun ever if you find a fun, friendly league.

A 4-second gain is *hardly* rubbing it in compared to certain league members (listening Peter, Marc, Rod, etc.?) who have improved by 20-30 seconds and more :( "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <3XbP7.50550$[email hidden]>, "Rob Adams" > <[email hidden]> writes: > > >Oh, and if your league races on the original tracks, you'll probably find > >your GPL Rank improving as a side effect.

One's rate of improvement does not generally continue to be linear after a certain point... I've started to notice that a number of the folks who were pretty far back in the pack in March or so are now running times pretty comparable to my best times. Practice makes better, up to a point...
