For what it's worth, I usually drive Murasama or Brabham when I race VROC. -Cheers!

Chub Pearson, there's a name from the past....is he still racing? I lost my "online cherry" to that bloke! He had to call me long distance and we raced modem-to-modem for hours....I shudder even now to think of the phone bills!

Actually, I took the liberty to check your times on GPLRank, and I think it probably would be a spanking :) We've got identical times at Monaco, but you're anywhere from a little to a lot faster everywhere else. I'm at +52.72. Also nice to see another driver who doesn't have 10 or 11 PB's in the Lotus :) If you still want a race or two, anytime in the next few days should be ok.

I remember when first driving on VROC I saw 'PO' all the time, and thought somebody was telling me to P*SS OFF, because I was on their hotlap driving line or something. Then later I realized and remembered the call for a 'Pit Out' message when somebody leaves the pits. It's probably a mixture of both though in practice ;-) And GLA is when there are 2 seconds left to start and you want to wish everyone Good Luck (All). :) The nicest acronym explanation I've heard was about the F word in 19th century Britain, where whorehouses were condoned. The F word was an abbreviation of 'Fornication Under Consent of the King'.

Strange isn't it? That's about the fifth time i've heard someone say they thought 'PO' was 'piss-off'. That's exactly what I thought it was as well. "Ruud van Gaal" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Heh.... actually, to be honest, I took the liberty of checking your times before I issued this last challenge. <g> As for the Lotus... well, I can drive it, but I can't really make it's superior characteristics work for me. In fact, I feel as if I need to graduate into driving the Lotus. Except for the 'Ring, where I find it's the only car that can turn quick enough to really attack the course. I could do with an on-line race to keep up my appetite between league seasons... how about Thursday night, around 10 pm your time on #GPL? My nick on VROC is JayVee. All lurkers invited.

When I first tried VROC I thought PO must mean Practice Over. I thought maybe the eace administrator was going to accelerate time or something. I realised it didn't mean that after I went back to the pits to wait for the start and ended staring at a long list of PO's in the chat window for the next 15 minutes!

Ok, sounds like fun :) How do you know when 10pm my time is btw? Hopefully you're in europe somewhere and we can find a server with <500 pings for both of us. Do you want to stick to Cooper versus BRM or just race in anything? My nick is fish. Yeah, the Lotus isn't my cup of tea either. I love the driveability of the Cooper, but if I was going for a PB it would be the Eagle or the Brabham for me. Driving the Lotus just costs too much in spoiled laps at the more difficult tracks.

Ideally we'd need <200ms pings for both of us, otherwise racing close might be too dangerous, but a moderately good ping will do (basically your lowest ping at a track we both have, I'm usually "ok" everywhere). As far as I'm concerned marque is not an issue (neither is class... if you're used to racing F2 you might stand a good chance), although depending on the track and how fresh I feel later I might go "the idiot in the BRM"-route. <g> > My nick is fish.

Jan. =--- > <snip>

Yep, British summer time is right, so 10pm my time is five hours from when this message is posted. I don't think i've ever seen pings below 200 on vroc, even when there's a uk server, but there's usually three green flag races available in the 200-350 range, which is good enough for me. I'll probably be in the eagle or brabham. Cya there. "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
