    GPL Rank down from +118.136 to +94.833 :)

    I took the brabham out and tried it on all the tracks, couldn't get a setup that suited me for Zandvoort or the Ring, but other than that it seemed a very nimble and steady little car.

    yay, i finally completed a race at the ring (it doesn't seem to save the lap time if i do some laps then quit :( ) and now i've got my official handicap!

    I am 416.146 seconds slower than Mr Clark per lap!

    I gotta do some more laps on Zandvoort tonight... It's my slowest track. All my laps on it were done before i got the joystick working ;)

    Butcher... an irish GPL server ??

    What's the story with this, does it exist, how do I join? (I'm quite new to online gaming)

    Checkout Eaglewomans Online GPL and from there head over to VROC for the necessary software. The VROC software is basically a chatroom and a list of GPL servers which you join by clicking on one of them, couldn't be simpler. The Irish Server is called W.Driving and you should see it in the server list.

    Just clocked a 1:09.2 in qualifying at watkins glen in the lotus, not a particularly great lap, but better than my laps on other tracks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,484 ✭✭✭Gerry


    Down to 1:07.84 at the glen in the lotus, it didn't even look like a very good lap in the replay, however I think I carried more speed in the esses. Starting to work on setup now.
