Hi Brian, >I thought we had this discussion before...and still you are convinced that >GPL drivers are better drivers? I said that it took me ages before I could run some decent lap times in GPL, lots of practice, and and F1 2000 I did a low 1.16 lap (16.2 or .3, can't remember) within 2 hours of practice. I didn't say GPL drivers were better in my last post as far as I can recal (that happens when you respond to an old post). Everybody can draw their own conclusion. Bottom line is, and I think that was very clear in my post, that I didn't get a sense of achievement with my 1.16 lap, because I allmost didn't have to practice for it. > followed the discussion about you're fantastic lap time at Barcelona. Thanks, but really, the fantastic lap time at Barca was no big deal, that was what my post was all about :) >I also read you downloaded the replay and the setup? Hadn't had the time to >try it yourself...for somebody that did 1000 laps in GPL could have made >some time to do say 50 laps in F1 2000? I'm not too much into car setups, I'm a racer, not an engineer. For GPL I also downloaded lots of replays and setups. Didn't know it was forbidden, or that it was unfair breaking a lap record using someone else's setup and watching a replay. Excuse me please. >the new record is 15.6 btw. WOW, THAT'S MORE THAN HALF A SECOND FASTER THAN I DID AFTER 2 HOURS PRACTICE! THAT'S FREAKING UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE!!! :))) >And the final record will be somewhere in the >14's. Why this? Well i got my silverstone setup modified wings and went on >the track after 3 hours...yes i took the time i got 15.7. The fact is you >are comparing a mouse with an elephant. If you like GPL so much and this >counts for others too stick with it..i'm not talking shit about the game or >do I? We got the fact now that GPL don't like F1 2000. Bull, a lot of GPL drivers like GPL. You really didn't get the intention of my post, did you? That's all I need, a second DGF... >One of the reasons Greg Huttu is leading the mobile challenge of F1 2000 >must be cause it's a piece of cake cause he drove GPL? Never accured to yuo >that he might be a superb driver? As you look in the Mobile Challenge Morgan >won at Barcelona. And to tell you this Morgan was a TOCA 2 driver in the >past. Hmm TOCA2 driver that beat a GPL driver...that's not possible right >Mister Warringa? Ofcourse is is Brian (you can call me Andre by the way). Perhaps my grandmother is a really good GPL driver too if she tried. Being a good TOCA2 driver doesn't mean you also can't be a good GPL driver. Again, my post wasn't about GPL drivers being better drivers than other sim drivers. In my post I told about my F1 2000 experience, how easy it was for me to get a very decent lap time after a very short practice perion (a little bit more than half a second slower can the current world record, and that after 2 hours of practice... Bernie, where do I sign?) and because of that I didn't get any feeling of achievement. Have a beer, calm down, read my post again, try to understand it this time, and go on with whatever makes you happy. Andre >Brian
