I've not been able to get connected all day. It's not a DNS thing I'm certain. Some of the time I got HTTP Port 80 being rejected on VisualRoute, somtimes it says the server is there, no errors but efforts to connect get an Error 500 Internal Server Error. Currently, it is saying Port 80 being rejected. Is this the deal for everyone? Maxx

Maxx, I just logged on again at http://newgplrank.schuerkamp.de/index.html and this worked first time. Now down to 124.66 thanks to your GPLegs. Glenn "Maxx" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Glenn, Yes, it's OK now, first time I've tried myself since 6:30 so maybe there was a problem and is now fixed. Good News with the ever improving handicap, it's mainly why I wanted to get onto GPLRank, too see how you all were doing :) Maxx On Mon, 13 Nov 2000 19:59:22 -0000, "Glenn Read" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Started reading GPLegs last night, found it very interesting. I am going back to the F2 cars and learning how to drive the car correctly now. In the f1 cars I could get no better than 1.34 at monza. I think the problem is with my breaking. Come to a corner and jump on breaks. Trying to ease on the breaks and off the accelerator now, and I believe I am in more control. Definatly a worthwhile read. cheers. Dermot [snip]

Dermot, Glad your finding GPLEGS useful, although you may have replied to the wrong thread here .. no GPLRank account yet I see (unless you are in disguise!) F2s are a good idea, I run them probably more than F1s as I race F2s in a couple of clubs. The good thing is the braking points don't differ greatly between F1 and F2, just that you get a little more time to do things and to pick out the optimum line. Once you get consistent why not joing the VROC-F2 club, we race 4 times a week, very well organised, great bunch of guys and close but considerate racing. The emphasis is giving everyone a good experience and a race, and all levels are catered for as we often have 3 races, Gold, Silver, Bronze. find out more here : http://vroc.net/html/common/club.htm It's not a league, you just turn up if you feel like racing. May see you there sometime. Maxx On Tue, 14 Nov 2000 13:01:27 +0000, Dermot <[email hidden]> wrote:

Hey Maxx, sorry to hear of your problems. Musta been some kind of network glitch as the server has an uptime of nearly 60 days now.

Often if I can't connect I will run Visualroute which often say that "HTTP requests on Port 80 are being rejected". I assume it is some internal maintenance so just try later and usually all is OK. Does this sound right, or, as far as you know, has it been available 100% of the time, in those 60 days. Cheers & Thanks for the great site. Maxx

Hi, I am interested in the F2 league but needs some practicing. However, could you send me the GPLEGS? My email is [email hidden] By the way, does anyone get sound problems with F2's. The engine sound is much higher pitched and unbearable. I still don't know why. All I have changed is driver detail from 3 to 2. My setup is 1.2 US patch. Celeron 566, 64 MB RAM, Intel 810 onboard GPU/Sound, running 98SE and OpenGL mode. Maxx <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thanks in advance for your patience, Well, it shows the appreciation of the community and how much we use it doesn't it, as soon as there's a connection problem, it's instantly recognized, and although it may sound a little like whining sometimes :-), it's just that people want access to the "good stuff" :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com
