Ain't it though. I'm still not fast enought to have the real fun but
I'm learning. I locked em up going into para last nite and "t-boned"
someone (sorry). I only drive the brabham so i'm usually on the
receiving end of such shenanigans. Right now i'm doing a little
research into the black art of tracking and hacking so i can bsod the
next mofo that wants to drive backwards. Also, is there a faq anywhere
on running dedicated servers? I've got two boxes hooked up to a
firewall and I wonder if i can host with one and play with the other??

GPL online continues to blow me away! Yesterday at Monza, started 3rd, got
passed by a Ferrari off the start, then our 4-car train snaked through
Curva, through the Lesmos, and onto the straight under the banking. Coulda
thrown a blanket over us through Lesmos.
As I come around Ascari, the smoke billows, I'm blind! When it clears a bit,
there's a backwards Ferrari sliding towards me from the left. I juke to the
right, pass him by inches, and stomp back on the gas towards Parabolica.
This was so real it was scary. I even yelled a bit when I thought I was
gonna hit him.
At PB, stay to the left, braking hard. All of a sudden my right mirror is
full of Ferrari. Holy S**t that guy braked late. Try to get slowed down but
nope, he t-bones me. Gentle steering, easy on the gas, into the dirt but off
the wall. Just keep it rolling, don't bog down. Get it back on the pavement,
grab 2nd gear, and we're off down the front straight. Try to get calmed
down, don't over cook Curva Grande due to adrenaline.
And that's just the first lap!
So much for having a life, this is WAY too much fun!

Thanks. Well kinda. Now i've got to relearn IPChains and port
forwarding and stuff. I set up my firewall months ago and (love this
about linux) is has chugged along with almost no attention (needed to
reboot after a power failure).

You said it! I love those moments online when I'm in the middle of a three
car package driving right on the edge. I've got to dish out the pressure to
the driver up front while taking it from that car in my mirrors. Nothin'
like it! (except real life racing). I think I see why real life racers put
their hides on the line.
