okay, GPL addicts...

...admit it. how many laps do you average on GPL every day? (if you don't race but one day a week, but you do 700 laps on that day you average 100 laps per day). i would like to confess that i do 20 laps or so every day. "my name is jay wolfe...and i'm a GPL ***." "hi, jay!" "welcome, jay!" "hello, jay!"

Okay, okay, I'll admit it :-) I can't tell you in laps. I mean... Glen or Ring laps? Anyway... During weekdays I usually do one (or two) Pro short races and in a weekend I race about one world championship, also Pro short. // Johan.

But when those 20 laps are done when you should be .... say sleeping :) could be grounds for ***ion. I too am ***ed. Once I get playing, it's tough to stop. Raced/qualified 38 laps yesterday at Mosport. I should have only raced 19, but we needed a rematch :) 1 thru 5 qualifiers were under 1:25 :) Needless to say, I'll be tired at work for a long time to come. -- -------- Jason Monds (Please remove 'no extra spork' when replying)

Well, today I fired up GPL for the first time at around 1pm. I've had several sessions on-and-off since and by the time of writing this (just after 6pm), I've completed 26 laps at Monza, with a best time of 1m28.59... But I've got no homework to do tonight so I'm sensing a major GPL session!

I'm still putting off buying the game to be able to finish my bachelor's thesis, but it hasn't saved me for playing the demo for hours every day. I've now decided not to drive a single lap until the damn thing is written :). -- Anssi Lehtinen

<snip> And when those laps are done...say at Nurburgring;-) Ok, even 3 hours a day isn't that much. Wish I could spend more than three hours in a week driving GPL and get some decent lap times. 1:33 in Monza with Ferrari isn't exactly fast. But I did have good fight for position 20 at Spa until I lost it in Eau Rouge;-) BTW: I quess everyone has noticed how those "ramps" are always in the runoff area of fastest corner? I've got my share of GPL flight model at Eau Rouge, 'ring and Kyalami. Stunt Car Legends, anyone;-) Pasi

Time is *very* short in my packed little life, there just are not enough hours in the day? But, having said that, I probably *average* around 40 laps per day (major sessions on most weekends!) which equates to around 280 laps per week, or, at around 1m35/lap = 380 minutes per week, or 6.3 hours per week, or 327.6 hours per year, or 13.65 days per year!!!!! Sheeesh, it adds up to a *LOT* of time...... 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterisk to e-mail)

I'm proud to hear of someone admitting to Monza times that aren't in the 1:28 range. I worked my ass off to get a sub 1:32 lap, was damned proud of it, and still am! :-) Jerry Morelock

I found out that the last of the 19 drivers are THAT slow...so I changed a few of the drivers in the "drivers.ini" to adjust the AI to my strenght ;-) Also, man mailt sich... .\\atze [ FmMW2109 - FmMB2139 ] *home* : http://www.home4u.de/buesing/

Ok, here's my confession: Still trying hard to get below 1:10 at Watkins Glen, but this is with a slightly broken poti in my t2 wheel giving me random spikes crossing the zero position. ;-) My Monza time is about 1:33, too. I'm very glad to hear about that .ini file hack for the CC's, they all disappear into the sunset before even the first corner on ANY track ;-) Cheers, Uwe -- Spam-proof e-mail: Uwe Schuerkamp <hoover at telemedia . de> http://www.telemedia.de/~hoover ////// Phone: +49-5241-80-10-66 Best of Scottish Folk: http://home.pages.de/~nsg >>> Blue Ribbon Campaign: Support Free Speech on the Internet <<<
