Everyone is well aware of many of the "time" related accomplishments as far as GPL goes, that is a certain time in a certain car. The GPL Rank site is a who's who of the fast and fastest. Certainly some of the faster drivers out there have won races in various makes, but a question struck me and I don't recall seeing anyone talk about it. It would amount to a CHAMPIONSHIP Monster Rank. One person, winnning the 1967 GPL points title in every make of car. Has it ever been done? Lawman

Nice idea, but the AI adapt to your speed, so you would have to fix them at the default for it to be comparable on your PC to someone else's. In nearly 5 years I'd be surprised if someone hadn't done it though ;-) I ran the whole championship at GP length once, in a Lotus, and won it, and I've done several single full GP races (one online at snett67 in the Cooper, came 3rd out of 5 finishers). I also have a Monster Race Rank (-93 or something) so I've finished a race at the 11 original tracks in all 7 cars, but I haven't raced the AI since I started racing online a little over a year ago. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to do it with novice length races. How much have you managed to do so far then? Malc.

Certainly you jest! If I can maintain enough focus to stay on track for ONE race, I am thrilled. Nevermind winning! But that is the beauty of GPL, no matter what it stays installed on my HD to continue to frustrated and impress me.

Get yourself online with vroc & you'll improve your consistency (and gplranks) no end ;-) Malc.
