FINALLY I got my Sweet Red Car to 1:30 at Monza....dont laugh it took me two years...well ok laugh..hehe

hehehehehe...All this banging my head against the wall called the Ring has paid off...smacked off my first 1:30.8 lap of Monza followed by a few 1:31's and it felt so good to be finally ahead of that damn Sweet Red Ferrari. Now I know what it means to go slow entering the corners and fast out...it means braking in time to get set up for the corner instead of that last minute ooh my god braking. hehehe....Yea I know pitiful...but I gotta brag somewhere...the wifey only winces when I try to tell her how cool it is. Besides she can always tell when I put in a bunch of laps cause I brake late driving her around...<VBG> PAPA DOC Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Voodoo 5 vs Geforce 2 shootout...

Eldred, I'm reading Going Faster, too. Its advice seems great in theory...but in practice I'm too busy trying to control the car. I'll tell you one book that helps me is "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." :) Bendito;

No laughing from me!! Heh heh! I am new to racing sims, but have founds these latest group of sims to be very addicting! GPL is very cool!, but I am also enjoying Nacar 3 and F1 2000. I am running a steady 1:39 at Monza, but have only been practising on that track for a short while. I am getting quite good at Watkins Glen (1:14!! don't laugh...it seems very fast to me!) What a great sim this is! Any idea how to include the 3rd party tracks in the Best Laps screen?? I must congratulate the artists who have created these tracks. Please continue your awesome work. Well, back to practicing laps. (Now I gotta try to get below 1:30 at Monza, thanks alot Papa Doc) NB "Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Believe me, you will enjoy the game 1000 times better when you can do 1.05 at the Glen, and sub 1.30 at Monza. The game than transforms even further, and woul will find yourself thinking about real race books to read and maybe even a cobra to build.
