I'm just amazed that you can get under 10 mins for the Ring using a keyboard . Mine is awkward enough to use just to type this post . God knows what you'll do if you get a joystick or a wheel . I just hope you're taking the piss. Andrew Macca <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

After 13 months of on and off playing GPL, I have FINALLY driven a lap at Nurburg under 10 minutes. 9:43.52, WHAT A LAP!!! Using the keyboard, i reckon that is pretty good. Still room for improvement too. And its boosted my GPLRank handicap up to 169.89!!!! I nearly fell off my seat I Could be the happiest man alive right now :):) ___________________ Macca "I'd kill myself for you...Id kill you for myself" Pantera - This Love

Way to go!! Now you've given me the incentive to tackle the Ring again and do something about my pitiful 11:16! :) Tony. On Mon, 03 Jul 2000 14:58:40 GMT, [email hidden] (Macca) wrote:

I cannot get around any track using the keyboard, but I think you shoud consider buying a wheel, and you will soon break the 9 minute barrier at the Ring :-) -- Jan Otto "Macca" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > After 13 months of on and off playing GPL, I have FINALLY driven a lap > at Nurburg under 10 minutes. > 9:43.52, WHAT A LAP!!!

You could be SO much happier with a wheel and pedals. Tell me though, what keys do you use when driving with t the keyboard. I reckon that it could be quite interesting for me, a sworn wheel-user, to do some KB laps. -- -Ace- Macca <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > After 13 months of on and off playing GPL, I have FINALLY driven a lap > at Nurburg under 10 minutes. > 9:43.52, WHAT A LAP!!!

Then I must be o'er the moon by now, I just did a 9.14 at the Ring. To think that 2 mths ago, I couldn't even complete a lap without cutting a corner! yeh! And I've boosted my GPL handicap to +99!!
