Excellent suggestions for us GPL learners

Tom Pabst has written some excellent tips for learning to drive. http://www.simracingnews.com/crewchief/columns/4.html Thanks Tom Dingo

I've only read so far only two pages. what I have read so far, However, Is **Driver school** potential!! If TOM or anyone else could take this reading and implement that to an on coarse and off coarse drivers school.... The Online racing drivers school will have it's birth. Just think of it... The only ones that will be crashing on the first lap will be the ones that make a mistake rather then the ones that don't know what a brake point is ;-) My hats off to TOM for the excellent article and teaching tool. BTW; I'll be driving the ring in second gear later today, Maybe I can run a faster lap in that second gear alone<g> Thanks again TOM, Mike Barlow

I agree fully Ralph and Mike. Kudos to Tom for a very well-written article. I'm somewhat embarrassed, but my usual attempt at learning a new track in GPL goes something like this. 1.) Try to go very fast 2.) Spin out get frustrated 3.) Try to go very fast again 4.) Spin out, get very frustrated 5.) see #1 This is fantastic stuff Tom! I haven't had a chance yet to test it, but it sounds like a great approach. -- -/- Walk Walker Official HAL Backmarker

yes and possibly pon somethingh like VROC you could get a little icon next to your name signifying that you have passed the racing school's test. More experienced drivers could skip the learning part and just take a certifying test.
