Ouch... :) Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +51.31 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Look at it this way Andre, you only need to improve by 5 thousands of a second somewhere to go to -0.01s. May I suggest Mosport... a track that actively discourages taking off large chuncks, but is ideal for whittling away at your time. Jan. =--- Andre Warringa wrote...

I -CAN'T- BELIEVE IT!! I had a handicap of +0.24 or something like that. Tonight I did a lap or 30 at Silverstone, where I'm still really slow. Broke my pb with a couple of tenths (1:30.13), and I was very happy, because I thought that would be enough for (finally) a negative handicap. Uploaded my player.ini file, looked at the results...

Funny! I was looking at GPLRank yesterday and your name really stood out at that 'par' handicap. Maybe you should consider stopping with GPL ;-) Cheers, Peter On Thu, 17 Aug 2000 22:49:45 GMT, Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote:

Andre, I suggest you keep plugging away at Silverstone. Just looking at a back to back on GPLRank, you seem to be able to top my times everywhere EXCEPT Silverstone. Barring that, why not go for broke, take on the Ring, and zoom straight into the -10s (possibly)? Just remember to take deep breaths and don't hold onto that wheel too tightly. :-) Martin Long Live Nigel Mansell!

Hehehehe... I can see the headline: Simracer found dead at PC. - AP Rescue workers in Holland were shocked to find simracer and renowned internet persona Andre Warringa dead in front of his PC. Preliminary reports suggest the Dutchman neglected to breathe while attempting to improve his "Ring time" (time required to cover the 1967 version of the Nurnburgring as presented in Grand Prix Legends, Sierra/Papyrus' groundbreaking racing simulation for PC -Ed). How this tragic occurrence will affect the way the general public views computer games is hard to predict.

Barring that, why not go for broke, >take on the Ring, and zoom straight into the -10s (possibly)? I fanatically tried to break my 8:30 at the Ring for a couple of days. But it was a little bit too frustrating. One teensie weensie mistake, and it takes another big 8 minutes for the next try. So I tried to shave off a couple of seconds from some other tracks first. With much succes. I can't remember what my handicap was when GPLRank started, but since then I have broken the pb's of all my other tracks. Especially at Spa the last days. But Silverstone is a track which I simply hated. It's so flat that it's hard to judge the turn-in points and speed. I never really tried hotlapping there. But two days ago I only needed a couple of tenths to enter the negative ranking. So I started at Silverstone, since there were a lot of seconds to be beaten on that track. I'm starting to get the hang of it, and start to like the track more and more, but it will never be one of my favorite tracks. After I have entered the negative range on GPLRank I will start to practice on the Ring again, the Ring makes such a huge impact on the overall GPLRank. > Just remember to take deep breaths and don't hold onto that >wheel too tightly. :-) During a lap on the Ring I don't breathe... :) Andre > >Martin >Long Live Nigel Mansell!

Hi Andre, this earns you a spot on the gplrank home page. Well done, it happened to me, too. ;-) cheers, Uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp http://www.schuerkamp.de/ GnuPG Fingerprint: 2093 20B8 B861 9358 A356 B01A E145 9249 5D27 33EA PGP Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Doh!! :-) What I _actually_ was _trying_ to say was it would be interesting to see where you beat em and where they beat you. Gotta love GPLRank.
