I would like to thank Uwe and the team for the inclusion of the 107% rule against the benchmark. All of a sudden I appear to much closer to the mark :-) One thing I think could be useful, would be the ability to view the handicap of a particular track (like a hole in golf) so that you can see if others are finding it just as difficult to become negative at that track. e.g. Mexico would probably be rated about 2nd hardest and Monza 11th (i.e. "easiest"). I don't know if it is at all possible, or even worthwhile, but it is something I would have liked as I was trying to gain time at all the tracks. After all there is no point spending 2 hours at Mexico to gain a second that few others have achieved when the time could be better spent at Spa gaining five. Cheers Stewart

The rankings at "Best lap times by track" is what I have used to see where some improvement may be possible. I'm 630 at Zandvoort but only 992 at Kyalami, a clear indicator of where I need to do some laps! �ke L. +33,10
Thanks guys. I never thought about doing it this way. I've now done so and it threw out some interesting information. Looks like I should spend a little more time at Spa (and Mexico and the 'Ring!) Cheers Stewart �ke Larsson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:xCQW5.1718$O%[email hidden]...
