GPL: Isn't there a "We suck but race clean league" going?

I used to have time to race more, actually got to 1:04s at the Glen, started racing in an F3 league, but gave it up for quite a while. I actually fly sims more, some Delta Force 3 when i'm bored, and N3 when a couple buddies are online. I would really like to have a small group to get together with that are as unprepared as I am.. You know who you are... G Patricks

We race for fun not points. Winning a race is secondary to having a good time and a clean race. We have people all over the world in our group, Australia, UK, Denmark USA and Canada... I may have left a couple out :) We race 2 tracks every week alternating Sundays or Saturdays, that way more folks have an opportunity to race. There is no official director or boss, everyone does what they can too help out and everything is decided by the group not by any individual. If you're interested go to the web site and join the egroups link there and introduce yourself, that's about it :) >Yes, too bad about the seperation, i'm in CT, USA..

hi I'd be in for having the odd race now and then online... I feel like I fit into this kind of racing people... when I race with my friends, if there's jsut 2 or 3 we go round the track together racing and if someone spins out, the other waits till they get going again and the race is on again... to me it's all about the close in racing and not the winning the race because the other guy is 3/4 a lap behind... what fun is that... I'd much rather say "man you took me well in turn 4" or "bet i was taking up all your mirror space" Anyone feel free to email me to organise some of these races or contact me on ICQ 11965380. regards Mikey Scott mikeyscott at btinternet dot com G Patricks <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'll have to try it out sometime - problem is my prime racing time is your prime sleeping time :-) DG

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggg. > >> Hi DG, Don't let the fact that you are in Oz discourage you from racing overseas with GPL. I have raced overseas in a overseas based league, since day one of GPL's release, and have had excellent results. My pings vary from .450 to .800 on the different hosts and racing is excellent and warp free for 99.9% of the time. In F1, pings up to .650 are fine, F2/FD about .700 and F3/FG, pings of up to .800 are fully raceable and warp free, providing your quality is close to 1.000. SO, don't listen to the doom artists that say you need pings under 500, as that is simply uneducated comments. Cheers, Ron Ayton Australia
