As a followup to the GPLRank of famous drivers of the GPL-era as posted sometime ago on this newsgroup: would it be possible to include these drivers as GPLRank'ers? That way you could put yourself "back-to-back" with Clark, Hill, etc... Would be even better than comparing against the Papy Benchmark, IMO. What do you guys think (Uwe?)? Cheers, Herko
Jim Clark is already there. I don't know if Nunnini used the best times for the Clark AI driver in GPL from GP races(qualifying?) or the real world times from 67/68. The same could probably be done for the other AI drivers. It would be interesting to see the AI drivers handicaps. Using the AI drivers would limit differences to track inaccuracies, car developments, etc. with the real world times. Ken MacKay Halifax, Canada GPL Handicap +80.61 "\"Michael E.
