Hopefully, Dave Noonan won't see this. Just think how much he could get for the O-Ring. Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A. Ewing Xilinx Boulder [email hidden] *****************************************************

Hi, Found this interesting article on avault: http://www.avault.com/news/displaynews.asp?story=3142000-105727 I wonder how much a good GPL setup would go for on eBay? :) Luckily there are some good GPL setups on-line that can be downloaded for free. But after reading this, people will probably remove them and put them on eBay! Gee... Maybe I shouldn't post this! :) Later, John

Squat.... GPL is complex enough to suit the car to your personal style... there is therefore no one best setup for a certain car/track combination and so, however fast person A is, his setup is more than likely worthless to person B.

Agreed! I never understood the hype "I don't believe how good his/her setup was"... A setup isn't excellent in the absolute sense. It depends on driver, driving technique, track, length of race, race tactics... I have always made my own setups, and this is a skill that is a part of the enjoyment in my view, at least when the setup changes are reflected so nicely as they are in GPL!!! Sometimes, it can be useful to get some input on how you are doing on a track, if you have got the general idea of what springs and ARBs to use all wrong. I think that setup and driving technique is interdependant. The driving technique "colours" the setup, and vice versa. Setting up a race car is a very nice process, where the distance between car and driver decreases all the time. Close to racing, simply. :-) ---Asgeir--- Jan Verschueren wrote:

Everytime I've downloaded one of the hotshoe setups from the net I've been able to improve my PBs, which had been set after 100s of laps on each circuit with my own setup, within 5 or 6 laps and I'm not slow either. So far setups for 3 tracks have been d/l: Monza where I just couldn't get under 1:28 and I'm now down to 1:27.77 Today I d/l Rouen setups and improved from 1:57.0 to 1:56.54 on the 4th lap whilst still getting the hang of the new setup. Kyalami where I couldn't get under 1:20 with my setup and immediately went under this with the new setup and am now down to 1:19.43 :) Surely there's a trend here. :) >John Courtney <[email hidden]> wrote in message >news:MFwz4.252$[email hidden]... >> Hi, >> <snip> I wonder how much a good GPL setup would go for on eBay? :) > > -- 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.
