You hate this track ??? It's one of the track we raced the most when i was on a LAN... There is everything.. fast corners / very *very* tight corner, flat corners / banking, big strait braking / curved braking... And you dont have a chance if you re not precise with these tires on the apex... I remember the first time we raced at Monza (after a lot of WG and Mexico), we wondered what was this boring flat track doing here... Ok, it's not so bad ;) Ok, i know i'm completly OT here, but it's just some tought about the track we like/we hate... But I'm not surprised to see (in previous posts) that the tight tracks like Rouen, the ring, or Mexico please the F3 drivers... Seb PS: I'm back from Le Mans (i was there for the qualif session), i don't know what i can do to have this track in GPL... Such an hilly fast track... Hope the Panoz will win (INCREDIBLE SOUND!!!).

I hate Mexico. I don't think I've ever had one single lap here where I've ever made it through turn one without a huge moment or a crash. And then the Esses..... ugh... 1:52 best in F1 and I've never driven F3 as that's just too damn slow for me! ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

I've been trying to fill in some of the blanks in my best laps page for my F3 driver lately. So today, I go out to Mexico. Believe it or not, I'm 4 seconds *faster* out here in an F3 than I am in an F1!! Has this happened to anyone else? I also noticed that while I hate this track in an F1, it is downright enjoyable for me in an F3. -- Chuck Kandler (GPL Handicap of +210.00 as of 6/15) K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195

Hell, it took me 4 tries in order to get 1 timed lap so I could submit my F1 GPL Rank score. 4 tries!!

If you're turning 1:52 while screwing up T1, then I'm in trouble.

If you've never had one single lap at Mexico where you've not made it through turn one without a huge moment or a crash, then there's NO WAY you could have turned in a 1:52 there. Unless you survive all your "moments," that is (which I never do!). <G> -- JB On 17 Jun 2000 22:07:13 GMT, [email hidden] (Dan Belcher) wrote:

Four tries! I wish it took me like a half hour and I still only did a 2:09.94. That was the frist clean lap, slow but clean! Then I left and was done with the track. This weekend I returned with an F2 car to see if I could figure out the line. . . no chance in *!@@, so maybe if I feel like some more torture I will try F3. What is the most stable F3 car? I love it I have noticed that there are many drivers F2 and F3 GPLRank scores/handicaps that are better than my F1s! Really dipressing. But then again what do I expect with an 11:29.07 at the Ring.

Hehehe. Yup, my only clean F1 lap out there was a 2:24.96, but in an F3 I've run 2:20.55. Still got about 11 seconds to go to catch Mark Seery, though. :-( Try an F3 race against the AI out there, it's fun!

I just got monza and kyalami just below his time, though! (well, some tenths anyway). At the Ring my time is lousy, that I can understand, but my time at Spa I don't. All I can do is 03:32.40 and I really feel I'm all the time on the very edge with the Eagle. The Papy benchmark is 03:20:34 so I'm very much off pace. Any advice anyone?
