GPL: Something Quite Queer...

4 posts by 4 people · 21 Jun 1999 - 22 Jun 1999

I've had GPL for over 6 months now, but I've yet to turn a wheel at either Rouen, Mosport, Kyalami (until this weekend) or Mexico! I've been driving alot, probably nearly everyday since I purchased it, but all my track time has been spent mostly at the 'ring, Monza, Watkins Glen or Zandvoort! Isn't that something? I wonder why that is. It's not as though I've gone out of my way to avoid these tracks, I only just noticed when looking at my records page in GPL. Quite ***, I think you'll agree... AND another thing. Going down the main straight at Kyalami in my Lotus for those***few laps _frightened_ me! I really felt the urge to lift off. The sense of speed is astonishing! I've never had that. Rob Swindells 4th in Goldline Bearing FFord Championship (12 Points); 8 points behined Championship Leader (as of round 3 of 6)
I know exactly what you mean, Rob! When I was first lapping around Brands Hatch and got to the fast straight with Pilgrims Drop I was thinking: "Nice straight, hey I'm picking up speed, what's that a blind right going uphill, oh oh I better slow down or else..." I wont even start to discuss the first time I lapped around Rouen. LOL.

I've never had that. It's exactly the feeling I had racing for the first time in Monza, when the main straight becomes so terribly narrow... Same goes for the back straight, where you can really feel the speed and the power of the car! Those drivers were mad... Lots (and I mean lots) of respect to them. And maximum respect to Papy!
