GPL with headphones improves lap times

5 posts by 5 people · 12 Jan 1999 - 14 Jan 1999

I just ran a practice at Mexico with headphone (at high volume) on instead of speakers (turned down some to avoid disturbing the family). I almost immediately ran a best time (1:59) in an Eagle. Why - because I could now hear the tyres squeal as they started to slide and could use the audio feedback to get much more control into my driving. If you haven't tried it have a go!

I like pissing other people off with my computer room shaking from the sound of a engine revving at max. :) -- all opinions expressed while drunk, stoned and flying through clouds. I'm not paranoid. That's just a rumour started by people out to get me.

the best thing about headphones its gets rid of the the volume fight between computer and TV, and when the kids are fighting you can't hear em till someone gets wounded and comes to you.
