After a frantic week of non stop GPL, and new PBs of Nurburgring: 8:22.26
(Lot), Monaco: 1:28.32 (Lot), and just half an hour ago Spa: 3:20.31 (Eag),
I've finally got a negative GPLRank of - 0.49. All my PBs are with the
default setups. Not bad to say I can't even drive a real car ;)
Just want to thank Malcolm Edeson for his good advice last year about being
smooth on and off the throttle and brakes, Thom J for his advice about
lowering the deadzone and making the steering more linear, Eldred for
getting just 2 seconds behind me on GPLRank last week (which gave me added
incentive), and Kev and Edd, my regular racing buddies. Plus everyone who's
ever given me advice here on r.a.s.
Also thanks to Uwe Sch�rkamp and his team for giving me a reason to learn
all the tracks and become a half decent driver, and Papyrus of course for
GPL.
Gee Simon you didnt get an Academy Award too? did ya? :-)
Thanx for the kind words tho'.. Congrads Buddy!! :-)

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