Hi everyone, my best so far is 1:06:66 (Lotus). Believe it or not, I set this time in a race. I was running second to Clark and I guess the pressure to catch him helped me mentally speed up a little. My previous best while qualifying was 1:06:74. I just wanted to see where I am compared to most other folks out there. I know I saw a 1:05:82 at the Apex web site, but still I'm trying. By the way, what is the world record, anyone know? GPL race settings: Rendition, 640x480, AA off, mirrors cars only aprox. 36 fps at all times with 19 AI cars, even from the back of the field, smooth as silk. My System: Abit BH6 Celeron 300a 128mb T.I. PC-100 SDRAM -8 Hercules Thriller 3D PCI 4mb Diamond Monster 3D II 12mb Promise FastTrak 2x 6.5gb Seagate 7200rpm, 13gb striped set(raid 0) Soundblaster AWE64 Linksys LN PCI 2 ethernet Phoenix ISA 56K v.90 and x2 TM Nascar Pro -- Matt Howell **to respond please use "mracer" at "mindspring dot com"

The World record is Dave Mansell's 1m04.80s lap.... My personal best stands at 1m05.22s..... Cheers! -- Graeme Nash You know what to do with "don't_spam_me"... http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk/ ICQ# 11257824 "My car appeared to disagree with my preference for living"

Too fast. I'm cruising at 1.28 or thereabouts and taking in the scenery. I'm going to have to buy Links 99 to settle the heart rate. default settings novice car real novice driver

1:05 at the Glen is very good. I'm also in that region. I'm sure it's possible to go faster however if I have the time :) Mike.
