Well my GPL rank a the moment is 212.12.
I started at 265.37 so im greatly happy that ive improved that much.
Shit rank i know, but i dont claim to be a great GPL driver, not even
a good one, but i do like a challenge. GPL is a challenge for me, GP2
i have mastered, every other game i have mastered other than this one.
Great game. These are my lap times, using a keyboard
Kylami - 1.24.75
Mexico - 2.01.53
Monaco - 1.36.74
Monza - 1.31.15
Mosport - 1.34.37
Nurburgring - 10.18.05
Rouen - 2.11.21
Silverstone - 1.38.74
Spa - 3.46.71
Watkins Glen - 1.13.50
Zandvoort - 1.35.59
Ive only really really tried hard at Kylami and Monza. I dont think i
will improve much on those times, altho i have improved 3.2 seconds
when i said i wouldnt improve on it last time too.
Hopefully i can improve.
My goal in this is to get a rank of under 200 at the moment.
Anyone reckon i could do it??

Keyboard driver's GPLRank progress
Macca proudly reported improving his GPLRank handicap from 265 to 212 using only a keyboard. Others praised the effort, urged him to get a wheel or analogue joystick, and noted that top driver Wolfgang Woeger used only a joystick.
Automated summary.
Damn good for a keyboard.

Since there is sooooo much time to be made or lost there, if you bring your
ring time down you can EASILY fit under 200. (being about 214 I can't say
I'm the best person to be advising ya...! :>

I've always understood that was why American cars (or Land Yachts as I saw
them called elsewhere on this ng) had such sloppy steering - so you could
turn the wheel at the same time as signalling without it affecting the car
:-)

P.S. I liked Coulthard's hand signals AFTER the turn today.
GPL is a challenge for me, GP2
Please, get yourself a steering wheel and pedals. If you like gpl now
your going to love it with a steering wheel.

In case you didn't already know Andrew, Wolfgang Woeger uses a
joystick, check out where he is on GPLRank.

too bad. :)

Nope, Woeger only uses a joystick, no pedals... (I asked him
personally)

Check it out John...10:03 for the Ring. Not bad considering I've only
completed around 5 laps of the track. I'm catching you slowly. 50 Oz boys
bow, so I gotta move my arse up the ranks. We've slipped to 14th in Nations
Cup..keep pushing me & I'll do the same. Let's get those 48 other Oz boys &
girls to kick ass!!

Go for a good one, (about $60-80) if you do, but if spending that much (i
know you shouldn't) then go for the $95 for a wheel, either Ferrari NONFF or
the MS NONFF. Then we can really compare times.... Then again stick to the
keyboard, I don't think I could handle the asswhipping.
