I heard people saying that railriding in GPL gives you faster laptimes...
I tried railriding at the esses at Watkins Glen but it didn't give me any
faster times... I have saved a replay of me riding the rails... Can anyone
tell me what I am doing wrong? Is it my technique?

Sarcastic rail-riding replay and cheating debate
A poster asked why rail-riding at Watkins Glen did not make him faster and linked a replay. Many replied that rail-riding was cheating or only worked at Monza's Lesmos, without watching the replay, which showed his car comically riding atop the guardrail. The thread drifted into jokes about the number 42.
Automated summary.

you do it right.
p.s. many people consider railriding cheating !!

Railriding is cheating allright. Don't try it on VROC !
Just tried it for fun last week at Monza. (wanted to see my name again for
the fastest lap as some dutch guy took it from me) Well my name will stay
there for long time I guess because I did a 1.26.5
did it only in Lesmo1 (I'm faster without rail in curva grande and do it in
lesmo 2 and you'll eat bushes)
BTW I tried it once just for fun and it's no fun so don't call me cheater...
If you are refering to my pst a while back then rail riding is NOT faster,
1. It is cheating, and
2. In GPL unlike some other games it cannot gain you time.
My problem was that I couldn't turn the acr around the corners and had to
rail ride, but its not good for gaining time in GPL. I'n other sims, that
allow it,. just press up against the wall and go flat out around the Monaco
haripin:-)

How many real open wheel cars can drive flat out against the rails and still
finish a lap ?

But the real question is, how many people here will be driving in a real
grand prix? It's only a game folks!
I haven't downloaded the replay yet, but it seems to me he is probably
being sarcastic. Think about the Glen. Where are you going to scrape
along a rail and gain time? I imagine the replay shows an Eagle bouncing
from guardrail to guardrail and finally ending up a crumpled ball of
flaming wreckage, but unfortunately my work PC doesn't have GPl, so I
can't confirm my suspicions. If this is the case, then it's a pretty
funny joke. :)

no more than 8 surely!
Mike.
GP2 had a much better variation on this theme. Those of you who still run it
should try to drive around Brazil for a whole lap, on the outside of the
track on the grass. We used to do this in one league as an aside. It proved
to be quite a fun competition.

and watch it. By accident, I presume, he hits the left gaurdrail in the
sss's and the car ends up on top of the rails riding the rail between the
right tires and the body. He rides the whole rail and then continues. Too
funny.
Obviously his post was in jest.
