Re: [GPLRank] Need 7 sec. to be negativ

You've just jumped another plateau. Now try getting under 8 seconds or 8:10 for that matter ;-) It will not be that easy. I stayed at 8:30 myself. Jason. S�bastien Tixier wrote:

Your getting into the area where getting any more seconds out of the Ring is going to get a lot harder. And then there's consistency. You can probably do 5 laps of Monza within a second or two of your best lap. Try that at the Ring. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

Yesterday I had one of the great "events" of my GPL career. I drove multiple laps of the 'ring all within .3 seconds of each other. It just floored me to all of a sudden have that sort of consistency at a track like the 'ring. Something has obviously "clicked" for me. Speed will come. At the Glen I've driven multiple consecutive laps equal to the thousandth, but I think this 'ring perfomance is an order of magnitude more satisfying.

Excellent Kevin. On that subject, I was checking our Ring league race in SpyGirl, and Steve Brunt did four laps of the five lap race at 8:58, and three of them were 8:58.5xx, and two were identical to the thousandth of a second, at 8:58.568!

> Rah...... my target !!! FIRE !!

Your best lap at Spa is over 3 seconds faster than mine so I think i can snatch a little time there (or is this that the track you have done 30 000 laps on? :)).

8:20 is a good target...i always aim for 8:17-8:20 range. My luckiest lap is 8:11, but whenever i try to run sub 8:15 i crash... So sub 8:20's are definitely achievable, but i stand in awe at those sub 8min guys...Truly incredible driving.

I agree it's difficult to find people sometimes. If you know any part of their real name or there nickname, use "Search Driver Database" to find the rest. It would help if people would just use their full names instead of nicknames. On the other hand, some people are only known around here and in online racing by their nicknames.

Hi! > Look at my new signature! :o)) !!!! :o))) > 8:25 at the ring including one spin. > 1:58.86 at Rouen :o)) Gongrats! I got myself also below 8:25 time at the ring. 8:26 first with a minor spin and 8:20 without any spins. Now Im hanging somewhere -5 seconds in handicap :) > Nop, i can improve Spa too, Monza and Glen are tracks that is verydifficult to Yeah, and even if you could pull out the perfect lap it would only be some tenths, those times are so good. It looks like the only way to seriously cut the time is to wrestle in the ring :) BTW, those calculations i posted earlier had some tiny mistakes (i calculated them myself cause i didnt know there was an option in GPLrank which would have done it for me automatically) Cheers, Leo Merikallio

I know it by hearth :o) i've made a 8:18.75 with a big mistake in the turn before the last turn in 3rd before the big straight, i've pass it too fast , oversteer and hit the fences on left.
