GPL: The 'Ring...Woohoo!

OK, so you fast guys can stifle a yawn here, but...I cracked 9:30 at the 'Ring! Woohoo! YES! Ramalamadingdong! I've been practicing for an F3 league race later this week, lap after lap after lap...thinking "It's gonna be a lonely last lap." I haven't been driving F1 much at all lately 'cause of the league. So, just for fun, I fired up my F1 Ferrari with Allison's setups, did an outlap and dug into it. After F3, the sensation of speed was fantastic! Shift fast...brake...hang the back end out...hold on!!!...damn! Missed that one, hard on the gas...airborne!...nailed that one!...yikes...whew...the straight!...punch it...downshift...easy now...back on the gas...there's the line...I'm across...where's the board...9:29:xx!!! (joyous noises, see above) Previous best was 9:43:xx or so. That got me a few places at GPLRank... I -love- GPL!!! J. P. Hovercraft

Talking of which, there are loads of people off the ringers list http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/ringers ) going there at easter, so if anyone off RAS can make it and wants to meet up? -- Cheers, Robin Lord - Trance DJ & Sim Racer. http://www.oppositelock.co.uk N�rburgring and Grand Prix Legends Support <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... | OK, so you fast guys can stifle a yawn here, but...I cracked 9:30 at the | 'Ring!

> I've been practicing for an F3 league race later this week It is good to mix up classes at the same track, cause you usually end up learning something about a particular corner you didn't know before. You also really should try FG (F3 motor, F1 chassis), with that you could easily beat that F1 9:30 time. rms [email hidden]

Is there a special event at Easter or is the track open for public then? Andre

Hi Dave, Yeah, I saw your post concerning your "rebuild" of your GPLRank and I've added you to my buddies list to keep tabs. You've got nothing to fear from me...at the moment...8^) J.P. Hovercraft Dave Henrie wrote:
