Gpl Laptimes

20 posts by 10 people · 14 Jul 2000 - 17 Jul 2000 17:36 UTC

What lap times should a GPL beginner aim for?

A newcomer asked what lap times to target in GPL. Replies pointed to the GPLRank site and to the benchmark replays shipped with the game, on which GPLRank is based, and advised focusing on consistency first. The thread included some light teasing.

Take a look at these times: http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de/ These are the fastest drivers in the world. These are the drivers of GPLRank.... -/-WW "Kieran Larkin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ko3nr$lk0$[email hidden]...

He was talking about W Glen actually Andre :-) I reckon I could cycle around it under 9 mins <g> Andrew
The actual time is not that important. You're looking for a close spread in laptime. Jan. =--- Kieran Larkin wrote...

The replays included with the game are good benchmarks, although some are better laps than others. Also these are the time GPL Rank is based on. Simon (GPL Rank +57)
