My compliments Uwe for your great site! While VROC has kept me busy for a long time, I was only driving the few tracks that I knew well (mainly Monza and Spa). Nurburgring was not very appealing for me... Then came GPLRank! Using the 107% report, I can see on which track I suck the most, so I can start driving that track until my laptimes come down to a level at which another track becomes my worst and I can start working on that one. Using this approach I started driving all the tracks, including the Ring, which has in fact become my favorite track. In the process my driving skills improved a lot, and I'm getting faster by the day. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a backmarker in online races, but at least I passed Eldred Pickett a few days ago (sorry Eldred). I don't know if anybody has suggested the following report for GPLRank: laptimes per track plotted on a bell-curve. Look at http://sd.znet.com/~sdsampe/distr.htm to get the general idea of what I mean. Enough typing - time to do some hotlapping on the Ring.... Ed Hut. Current handicap: 32.96
