: We lowered the "enemy" drivers down to Amatuer and I'm sorry : to report that it did NOT help. I finished a solid LAST. : These guys are really tough, plus they have good setups. : I drove like crazy and could not stay with the field and then : could not catch the field. : I think that the ACE level is going to take some real work on : car setups and near perfect lap performance. : I rode with a couple of the CC drivers and the simply do NOT : make any mistakes...as in none. That is the trick as far as : I can see. We drove some competitive times and speeds with : them, but we made too many mistakes. A spin here, a tire in : the grass there and before you know it you are down a half : a lap and it's basically over except the final score. : I REFUSE to drop to Rookie...too much pride left over from : my F1GP I days, I guess. I used to run top 3 consistently in : ACE level in the old one...that was then, THIS IS NOW...hehehe : JEB Amateur isn't all that tough. I've done three races so far, with a bes finish of third at Imola (should have been second, but thats another story). I was running fifth in Brazil too, until my engine blew on the 30-somethingth lap. The higher levels are going to be really hard, although a good setup or too would help - I'm running pretty much on default at the moment. BTW, I refuse to drop to Rookie as well - after wiping the floor with everyone at ACE level (I won 15 of 16 races at 100% length) I have still got some pride. Ben.
