If you haven't tried GPLrank because....

You think you're too slow, you're wrong. The 107% page contains a chart with your times measured against 107% of the Papyrus benchmark. For Monza, that's 1:36.5. Can you do 1:36.5 at Monza? All you have to do is get a time (any time) at every track. Trust me, it's fun to try _all_ the tracks. Crawl around the ring if that's what it takes. The Coventry is one possibility. There may even be a better choice for grace when running off the road :-). Then get a rank (per easy website instructions) and go to the 107% page. Every track where you're better than 107% of the Papyrus benchmark is highlighted in green. Gives us average guys a great goal - more green. When you're all green, pat yourself on the back and go for 100% = "going negative". Thank you, GPLrank people. [posted to rec.autos.simulators] bob 112% (WR) 106% (PB)

I second this. As a newcomer with a 500+ GPLRank it is still good to let someone else track your improvements. Saves trying to remember how fast you were when you started. Also by using the ranking list with something like everyone within 100 of your rank you can add some close ones to your buddy list and have some off-line competition against people you've never met. It adds some spice when you're driving to try to better the closest persons Watkins Glen time or whatever. Lee In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] writes

Maybe becasue, AFAIK, it ins't registered with any search engines... On Sun, 03 Dec 2000 05:53:49 GMT, bob wrote:

thanks. not meant to be a flame :) but in the original post you go on about how great it is and how everyone should use it, but you don't mention the url? come on now :) Obake

Well I hate to say it, but it is 107% of the world record at the track...In other words 107% of the monza world record is 1:32. This is to compare it to real life F1, where to get on the grid, you must qualify within 107% of the pole sitter's time. JB <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Bah, I re-read your post, you are correct about there being a second chart for papy benchmarks. I forgot that they added the papy section. Forget the last post.
