GPL drivers' photo and profile website

Michael Barlow highlighted Stefan Zscharnack's site with photos and profiles of GPL community members. Posters signed up, joked about their looks, and were struck by the age range, with an earlier survey putting most GPL drivers in their early thirties and VROC regulars in their fifties and sixties.

We are really Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill using assumed names.

Can't imagine to see my dad play gpl... Eric Cote of www.simracingmag.com did a survey not to long ago. one of the questions was about your age.. Looks like the biggest age group was about 32-34. If I remember right, the oldest driver in the survey was 72(?) and the youngest was about 13. If you did the same pole for NASCAR I would only guess that the average ages would be closer to 20-25 with the biggest group being in the ***s. But that's just a guess. Has anyone done a survey on the age group of the NASCAR sims? -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

Can't imagine to see my dad play gpl... I believe it. I've got 2 kids & three step-kids that are older than you, & I'm not nearly as old as a lot of these guys! But the nature of the sim as it is, 1967 F1, you gotta figure it'd appeal more to the older crowd. Older......how depressing.

Yeah, I know. Like my momma used to say, the only other alternative to growing old is to die young. But it just don't seem that long ago (1967). That was the year of the Riots here in Detroit, and the memories are still pretty fresh.

Tim, GPLers as you call us, actually average more than 30 old at WinVROC. I'm a young 52, but Gary Hoorn, one of the most respected hosts, racers, and fellow gplers, is 63. Age real doesn't have all that much to do with it. Just look at Paul Newman. Joel Willstein

Kind of a resemblance there to Peter Criss or even Paul Schaffer(sp?) from Letterman.
