GPL training from fast lappers. (attached replay)

Your exit from Parabolica at the beginning of the hotlap is too slow. The lap prior to the hotlap needs to set up the hotlap. You cross the S/F line at 165, ten MPH down from what you could have. At the end of your hotlap, you've got a decent exit from Para into the straight, had you also had a similar exit you'd probably have shaved near half a second from the hotlap. 2. No need to shift up to fifth after Curva Grande, stay in fourth. In a long race, the shift to fifth will help save your engine, but for hotlapping, it needn't be a concern. 3. The turn in to Lesmo2 looked a bit early, forcing you to stay off the power at the exit. Start in to Lesmo2 a bit later, and you'll find you can get in the power much sooner after the apex without running wide. This helps your speed through the whole back half. Didn't notice much else to comment on. I can hit a high 1:28 at Monza now and then, but most of my laps there are 1:29's too, so take my comments with a grain of salt... Trips

Posting a 670kb file to a non-binaries newsgroup is NOT a good way to go about getting help..... especially from those of us who have to pay through the nose for our online time. -- Cheers, Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824 ________________________________________________________________________________ "I liked things better when I didn't understand them" (Calvin & Hobbes)

I apologize to everyone about posting the replay. I decided to do it at the last second. I was aware of your concerns so I noted the attachment in the header. That way, you didn't have to open the message if you didn't want to deal with time for the file download. Unless of course, you read all messages offline. Then, of course, you had no choice. Anyway, sorry. My bad. Won't happen again. To make it up to you, I'm attaching a 6 meg "I'm sorry" hallmark card. :) <Dan>

There are probably many people who would look at your replays and help you out, but this is not the place to post them, many of us use 56k modems and have to pay by the minute for phonecalls. Please post binaries to an appropriate group, alt.binaries.simulators for example. Your message alone took over 5 minutes to download :( and I download newsgroups at peak times :( -- Ian Parker ICQ 21772592 > Is there anyone that openly accepts replays and suggests tips on areas >that need to be improved for faster times?

We are looking into starting an Online drivers school. If things work out I'm sure there will be thousands of drivers applying for it. However, The school will take some time to get completely organized before it's ready to accept applications. Mike Barlow

I haven't seen the file and no binaries at all for that matter, so apparently this newsserver I'm using (news.nl.net) is well configured : non-binaries newsgroup -> posting_with_attachment doesn't make it there Maybe if you can get in contact with 'your' newsserver admin, he/she could set it up like that. I know I like it :) (btw, it's safer too, virusses don't make it into the group either). -- Ren van Lobberegt, The Netherlands.

If you had to pay what they have to pay for storage space for Usenet, you might do the same thing. -- **************************** Michael E.
