I have had the game for about 3 months and race whenever I get the chance. I know these times will improve with practice. Zandvoort 1:34.84 Spa 3:37.95 Rouen 2:10.50 These are the only 3 tracks I race regularly. I have yet to race against any of you on VROC . On April 9 my Mediaone cable modem gets installed and then I will try my skills against real living breathing human opponents. See you soon.

Keep in mind, tho, Dhook, that these are very fast times that Pat's talking about (and all Lotus times). It may seem impossible to get there... but try all the same. If you can get within 2 or 3 seconds of the times Pat speaks of, you will be in "racing" range on VROC... meaning, you won't get left in the dust. With your current times, that might happen. Just work to shave a bit more time off, make sure you can run your best times consistently... then jump on VROC and join us in the fun! -_Dave

Pat's great while sitting at his PC - arguably among the best there is. I'm looking forward to hooking up with him (and any other interested Indiana sim racers) at Stefan Johannson's Karting Center soon to see what he's really made of. ;-) Stay tuned for new of the event.

As Dave said, don't be put off by Pat's fast times at these tracks. Pat is one of the faster drivers in GPL, but to be very competitive and to get podium finishes at those three tracks you mentioned, times to look at trying to achieve would be more in the range of: Zandy = 1:28 to 1:30 Spa = 3:25 to 3:28 Rouen = 2:02 to 2:05 If you can get close to those times and be consistant, you will be on the podium more times than not. <G> Great news about the cable as well.. See you on-line soon... Cheers, Ron
