Finally !! - Negativ GPLRank handicap ;D

After some 6-8 months of rather intense GPL racing, I finally managed to get "subzero" on GPLRank. Had some intense attacks on Spa this evening, and clocked a 3.18.95 wich catapultet me down to -0.52 ;) All Brabham times (very important for me) I'm goin to sleep with a giant grin on my face ;D Should anyone care. Here are my laptime : -------------------------------------- Watkins Glen Brabham 01:05.43 Silverstone Brabham 01:29.08 Monaco Brabham 01:28.90 Zandvoort Brabham 01:25.90 Monza Brabham 01:29.82 Rouen Brabham 01:59.11 Mexico Brabham 01:49.88 Spa-Francorchamps Brabham 03:18.95 Kyalami Brabham 01:21.54 Mosport Brabham 01:23.58 N�rburgring Brabham 08:27.51 --------------------------------------- -- Karsten Borchers www.simracing.dk

Congrats! You're faster than me almost everywhere - improve your Ring time accordingly and you should be in the minus 10's in no time :) Ain't it great to be below zero?

But did you do it in a Brabham Eldred? 1:29.22 in a Lotus is not really spectaculair, in a Brabham it's quite good.. Andre

I will second the notion of a negative handicap...I finally decided to learn the ring over the past week and now I am starting to really come to grips with the track. Last night I ripped off an 8:14 at the ring which puts me at a -23 handicap. Before I learned the ring, I was stuck with a 9 minute time and a 22 handicap. I thought I would never like the ring...but now that I am getting to know it, I am finding out what an awesome track it is. If only I would have discovered this earlier!

Had a +115 handicap and a 10.09.xx on the Ring. Now that did'nt reflect my skills. Also though I'll never learn the Ring. But hey, only took me 6 laps, and I had 8.45. From 8.45 to 8.22 took somewhat longer, and a lot of spins ;D I feel like I could take on the world right now. I'll have a look at Monza though. It is possible to do a 1.28.54 in a Brabham. But the guy who did it, is not of this world ;D I would be glad to hit a low 1.29 Borchers -- "Wosco" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3GH%5.644$[email hidden]... > I will second the notion of a negative handicap...I finally decided to learn > the ring over the past week and now I am starting to really come to grips > with the track.

Rats - I just realized - even if I did an 8:14 at the Ring(not bloody likely!), that still wouldn't get me to negative... I'd be about +8... :( Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL F1 hcp. +39.11/F3 hcp. +373.73 Never argue with an idiot.

Why, is the Brabham inherently slower? Ok, I only have a 1:30.69 at Monza in the Brab. But my PB at Kyalami is a 1:22.93 with the Brab... Ferrari - 1:23.11, Lotus 1:23.20...

The Lotus (and Eagle) are the best cars, especially on Monza. Just look at the Monza hotlaps at Schubi's... Lotus, Lotus, Lotus.. only place where the Lotus doesn't rule is Spa, with all those long straights the Eagle has a slight advantage there due to higher topspeed.. Andre >Eldred

Well, that just shows that I'm not good enough to max out the abilities of the car. Considering I have *4* different marques in my PB list, I'm mediocre in *any* car.<g> Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL F1 hcp. +39.11/F3 hcp. +373.73 Never argue with an idiot.
