All right Yanks, I've done just about all I can, short of becoming a foreigner...I've lopped over 100 seconds off my pathetic GPL times....leave IMOLA alone and get back to the the standard tracks and lower that handicap -- dave henrie Free the ICR2 source code!

No shit!! I am starting to think this whole Imola thing is a concpiracy to keep me from improving my gplrank. I'm over it now, problem is though, the GP3 conpiracy starts next week! Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%wte5.33356$[email hidden]...

Look up the "Mean Value Theorem". The way GPL rank is set up, only countries with a small number of entrants have a chance. I think he did this on purpose. To be similar to a real international competition, he should use either the best time per country per track, or an average of the top 3 etc. Best Wishes, skp "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%wte5.33356$[email hidden]...

Minor correction. Huttu is a Finn. Notice they are one place up on Germany.

Somehow I would imagine this poll is going to severely flawed in favour of those nations with a large number of drivers. I am expecting 10 to be the prefered number by a country mile. :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.
