GPL brake markers?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any brake markers that have been done for Silverstone in GPL? Having trouble with Club... Thanks.

Yeah, those are three unpleasant little corners. Club is really bad because the braking point isn't marked on the racing groove. Got if figured in the end though, I'm now using the advertising hoardings on the left as a brake marker. Seems to be working, did a 1:28.88 in the Lotus :) "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <cndV6.2696$[email hidden]>, "Simon Brown" > <[email hidden]> writes: > > >Just wondering if anyone knows of any brake markers that have been donefor

Actually, I don't have much trouble with Club - I was just responding in kind. I use the billboards you mention, but I'm nowhere NEAR 1:28. I *do* have problems with Abbey and Chapel, though. I can never get a line through there that's both smooth and confidence-inspiring. I'm sure that's where I'm losing most of my time, because I usuallt coast through both turns.

Well, I don't think you could describe my lines through Chapel and Abbey as smooth :) For Chapel, I try to get as far over to the right before turning in, which isn't easy in itself, and instead of braking, ease off the gas and turn in agressively. It has to be quite a significant ease-off to make the turn though. You actually want to go quite close to the inside of the turn. For Abbey, I just slam on the brakes, give the wheel a big yank to the left and hope for the best :) The one thing I notice about your GPLRank times is how many times are done in slower cars, 1 x Cooper, 2 x Brabham, 4 x Ferrari. While that's very commendable, a little time in a Lotus could see you improve on most of those times. I know it's a bit sad to have like I do, 10 times in the Lotus, but it is a faster car.

Well thanks! Most drivers I've seen have 9+ of their best times done with one car. I've wondered if it was a good thing to have so many different marques in my best laps table. However, on some of the tracks, my Lotus lap is much slower than any other car. It might be 'inherently' faster, but only if the driver is good enough to take advantage of it...<g> Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +20.90...F2 +151.26...
