Given different timezones, internet habits and propagation of newsgroup messages I'd say 72hours at the very least. If you want people to actually practise make it a week. Timeframe suits me fine. Jan./having a heck of a time adjusting to my new throttle pot. =--- EldredP wrote...

2 or 3 days for the race will be fine, so we can practice . The time is good, Carlo Kleijngeld "EldredP" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht news:[email hidden]...

Was wondering to myself if being within 107% at all tracks would qualify to compete on vroc without getting in others way.otherwise is there a guide to the consistent lap times i should be running before trying an online race?i realize each track is different. I just realized that i only need to go to the track in multiplayer and check the laptime of the drivers practising there. DOH! YOUR GETTING VERY SSLLEEPPYY. You will forget everything you just read, and who the poster was. VVEERRRYY SSLLEEPPY!!!!!! no one @ no where.com Jan Verschueren wrote:

There is no real qualification needed to race on VROC, IMO, other than to respect your fellow competitor, regardless of relative speed. Refer anyone dissing you for your speed to me and I'll give 'm a verbal pasting they won't forget.<g> If you can cut a consistent line around the track you're racing on I'd say you're bound to do well regardless in pick-up racing. For fear of sounding elitist, online GP's are another matter. Only people who truly understand the medium (I.e. people with a couple of years' worth of online league racing behind them) should apply there, IMO. Jan./if can't fix the *touchyness* with this new pot... put me down for a no show. =--- Joey Miller wrote...

Got a point there... being single I overlooked that particular pitfall, obviously. Jan. =--- EldredP wrote...

Practise ????? isn't that considered cheating ? 72 hours is fine by me, I'll drive at any time of day... just one of the great things about selfemployment ;) Mikkel
