But, eh - what's the URL ?? :) Borchers

I just found a new GPL site, GPLRank. Tim Wheatley gave its details on his site. The site features a database which calculates your GPL handicap from your player.ini file and provides an online ranking system. Very clever! Thanks to Uwe Schuerkamp for putting it together. Excellent work. Unfortunately I am languishing in 46th place out of 52 so if all you slowpokes out there could submit times it would make my handicap look less bad. Eldred this means you!

http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de/ Come one, come all! It only takes a minute to see how you rank. GPLRank uses a rating system that gauges your overall mastery of gpl. Using the sum total time of the included replays as the STANDARD(25:20.19) GPLRank sums up your best laps from your player.ini file, and finds the difference between you and the standard. It then instantly gives you a number, plus or minus in seconds, that shows you how you rate against the standard as well as everyone else in the gpl community. It also does much, much, more. Here's what you do: Come to the site: http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de/ and "create a new account", you only have to do this once, and please remember your password. You will then be prompted to upload your player.ini file. That's it, your done! GPLRank instantly calculates your rank and displays it in many ways. Don't worry about being slow, you'll find yourself in some very well respected company. Have a good look around, and be sure to check out the "buddy list" feature, that allows you to create your own custom list of people you want to compare yourself to. See you there!

D'oh The URL is http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de/ Sorry about that. Cheers Phil

Fun site! Just one caution. If you're going to submit your player.ini file you might want to check it first for any freakishly fast laps. I didn't and when I went to compare my times with every one else I discovered that one clock smashed one had snuck in. When I checked the Watkins Glen times there,in first, in front of Gregor Huttu and company, was none other than myself and by more than a second no less!! Now I practice as often as I can and I can get around the track without too much embarrassment but a Huttu beater I'm not. A quick edit and reload of the file to the site restored me to my proper place in the GPL universe.

There seems to be some sort of bug in the system. I come in ranked 10th, yet my times rarely threaten the top 50 on each circuit. I have no time at Mexico though. Do you need times at all tracks to get a proper representation? Chris * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

Right now myself or another admin will go through the times and remove any that don't seem right. We are working on an automated system to handle this in the future. Everything is in beta form and is a work in progress. It wasn't supposed to go public for some time but since it found it's way here there was no way to stop it.

Looking into it Cris. Why don't you put in a lap at Mexico and then update yourself by the "Submit your laptimes" function. Thanks for pointing it out. Don [email hidden] (Chris Bloom) wrote in <[email hidden]>:

No problem Phil. I read what you did on Tims site and it says GPLRank is "Open for business", and now we are ;-) 110 drivers have submitted so far, lots of big names.

Good fun, though gotta watch out for those clock smash laps, some people. :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

He he!!! I don't even rate at all (almost last place but not quite). But if I get some time to practice in the next few weeks just watch me climb up the ladder :-) I guess I should work on the nring as that will shave a bunch of points off.

Is that you at +280.56 Chris? Yes the Ring would be a good place to put some laps in, or any of the tracks besides Monza and the Glen in your case ;-) Part of the fun of the Sub Zero Scale is as a motivator to get yourself Sub Zero, or into the negative numbers, beating all those original hotlaps. You've almost got the first one with your 1:30.39 at Monza. I'll be watching your progress. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

I will pass on the word. All of the work for the site is done by Uwe Schurkamp, the concept came from Don Scurlock or Randy Riggs (Not sure who started it all), and the features came to life by just about all the Screamer members. Randy Riggs is working on a stand alone app that you will be able to download and run locally on your machine.
