I was up tull 04:00 last night racing a few fellow countrymen on VROC - I came as close to a sub 1:30 as you get: Exactly 1:30,00!!!!!! A new PB - and a new handicap of 101,80 But as you said now it�s back to business at the Ring to get that sub 9:00 BR Thomas * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

Keep practicing Cyrille. I've only had GPL 3 months with about 2-3 hours a week to practice. Spent about half of that at Monza. Now I can consistently run low 1:30's and with an occasional high 1:29. I was running about 1:32 until I discovered that I only needed to brake gently for a very short time before curva grande (at the road on the right), shift to 4th and then let the engine slow me down until from there until the apex. The second big advance I made was to shift up into 3rd before the apex to the 2nd lesmo and the parabolica. You get less wheel spin (easier to control) and you save a shift while accelerating. (special thanks to the Lights Out Racing track guides for the tips http://lightsoutracing.simplenet.com/trackguides/track1.html ). I think my next step is going to require a change in technique; more anticipate what the car will do rather than drive in and react to what it does. But first I need to get a few laps in at all the tracks so I can get listed on GPL rank. (managed a 9:58.23 at the Ring last night, YAY!) Ken MacKay Halifax, Canada cyrille vanlerberghe wrote:
