GPL uk track league....
Discussion
I've been playing this game on and off for 3 years now (though I hadn't touched it for about a year until last week) and I think that Brands is definately one of the most difficult and technically challenging tracks - so if your new to the game don't get discouraged!
The key to a consistant quick (not fast) lap is smoothness of throttle and brake - avoid locking wheels at any cost - late hard braking does not work in this game - slow in fast out appears to be the only way - I just wish I could master it!!!

I've played it sporadically for two years, but I bought it specificaly to learn where the corners went on the Nordschleiffe before a track week there. Consequently I am not bad at that track but pretty crap every where else as I have not tried them.
I just got WinVroc working 2 mins ago so I am all ready for tonight now :tremblesinfearandanticipation:

Wahoo 
An hour and a halfs practice and I'm down to 1:48 best now. However I tried a race and it's bl00dy hard keeping out of the way of the faster cars and trying to overtake without hitting the one in front is a nightmare.
I apologise in advance to the carnage I will try to avoid tonight

Incidently, does anyone fancy been nice and sending a setup file my way? I can't get the car set up at all and those setup's on Eagle Woman's site don't seem to work

I never managed to see the replay of that - I thought I'd given you loads of room. Obviously not 
Sorrrry
I, erm, may have attempted to shut the door a little keenly if I was being honest
Maybe, if everyone is agreable, we should attempt to get through turn 1 in the order we qualify in rather than the inevitable 15 abreast
It's always difficult to know what to do... either qualify well and be rear ended into turn 1 or qualify badly and cruise past the group grass cutting effort

At Brands it always seems to be turn 2 where I end up causing chaos when I race the AI, turn 1 isn't too much of a prob...
Think I might need to work on actually starting the car too, I either bog down horribly or get so much wheelspin the back of the car ends up catching the front in a hurry

I'd much prefer we all tried to get through turn one as per grid position, but who knows, I'll probably light up the rear tyres and harpoon the pitwall :
I'm signed up on WinVroc but the race lists have been down all day, people have been grumbling about it in the chat area
Do we need those lists to race or do we make our own once we get into the Pistonhead chat room?
Best of 1:45 now, I am becoming a GPL god
