Well, I used F1 2K to learn how to left-foot brake. When I came back to GPL,
it wasn't hard to transfer that skill. I ended up beating my PB's simply
because of the time saved switching my foot to the brake pedal. Does that
count?

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Thanks Steve -- to clarify, I trimmed almost 2 seconds off my lap time
at Mexico in GPL after not playing around with it for well over a
month, and in the meantime, all I had been doing was mainly hotlaps in
F12K.

playing F12K for the past couple of weeks, I fired up GPL again and
turned some laps at Mexico (my favorite!). Much to my surprise, I
trimmed almost 2 seconds off my personal best, AND I improved my
GPLRank by 2 positions as well (I still REALLY suck, but it's an
improvement! <G>). Going in "cold turkey" and beating a personal best
can only be attributed to the fact that F12K has kept my skills sharp --
which speaks VERY well for the physics modeling in F12K.
Anybody else have any similar experiences with F12K or other sims?

(I have both games F12K and GP3)

Not to sound the "least bit sarcatic" (really), but isn't GP3's
braking exactly the same as GP2's? Just curious, I have not seen GP3
yet.
Thx, Matt
I think that he meant that he trimmed 2 secs off his GPL laptime, not his
F12K....
