for 3 yrs ive been racing sims on my PC.
I started with F1RS by ubisoft. This sim i saw on a mates PC, and i just
about blew my bolt as soon as i saw it. This hooked me incredibly well:)
The same friend rang me up at work about 12 months later and said "Greg you
gotta hear this"......he then proceeded to put his phone against his PC
speakers and press his foot firmly and violently into his gas pedal:) He
had just installed the GPL demo, and was sitting in pitlane at monza in the
ferrari with original sound !!!!!!.
All i rememeber thinking was how can i get this GPL thing, and how can i get
out of work 4 hours early:).
Well that was my introduction to the all encompassing GPL world, and it has
been an incredible ride for the last 2 years.
Ive been drinking bourbon for the last 2 hours, and im really unsure why im
posting this thread to you all, but i feel the need to voice my enthusiam
for the worlds greatest sim:)
cheers
Greg Stewart
GPL rank 2nd
What sort of burbon? :)

(either the first one at Watkins Glen or the one at Monza) had no Ferrari in

The 3 cars were Lotus, Eagle and Coventry (Cooper), when we bought GPL from the
box, it was a big surprise to us to have the Ferrari in it too. (was not
initialy planned since contractual conflicts I believe)
In any case, congrats for the 2nd rank Greg :)

release that was on the NR99 cd that included the Ferrari. I could be wrong
because its been ages since I saw that demo and I never played it (except to
show my buddy how good it was on his PC). I dont remember a Ferrari but the
replay file with the demo was a lap at the Glen in a Ferrari... But it could
simply be a coincidence as like I said I never played the demo much after I got
the full version :)
But GPL pretty much is the only sim I've played since that fateful October day
back in 1998 when I first installed it. And, like many of us, I too have
stories of girlfriends neglected and hours of sleep lost just to break that
magic 1:30 mark at Monza :)

I still play Nascar 3 and recently got into GP3, but GPL is still the
one I REALLY want to get good at. And speaking of girlfriends mine
just left (no, I didn't spend too many hours in front of GPL... it
just got old) - and man i'd forgotten how good this game is.
Heartbreak? pffft. I got GPL, baby ;-) Powersliding around the Lesmos
is almost as good a sensation as she used to give me... (or is that
just because Lesmos sounds vaguley rude?)
