Take this warning to heart! Before GPLRank I would occasionally go on-line, have a few races at Monza or Spa, then back to real life. Now, because of GPLRank, every night sees at least 3 laps at the $#(*&)(@# Ring, then maybe (*#$#$ Mexico, or some other godforsaken track. And I'm at it each night until I set a PB on some track. Then a quick upload, check my buddies, check the Nations Cup. And to bed depressed because despite having cut 5 points off my rank I've dropped 20 positions at the same time! Fun?

Actually I don't mind Mexico that much, I just suck there. I hated Zandvoort for a long time too, then I found a decent line and started to like it. Same with Mosport. I'm sure Mexico will have the same effect eventually. And I don't hate Mexico as much as Silverstone. I don't know why they even paved that place. I spend more time on the grass than the track...

Didn't say it wasn't challenging. <g> But it's kind of like the 'Ring, rewarding when tamed, and a good place to race. A long fast straight funneling down to nearly nothin' creates good passing zones. Those tricky switchbacks are there for your competitors to stumble over. When I first purchased GPl, of course, one of the first things I did was tour all the tracks. Didn't like Monaco and I didn't like Mexico. Two years later I still hate Monaco, but Mexico is in my top 5 fav's. Rick "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:pFpb5.321$[email hidden]... > Yuck! It's a nasty piece of work.

Yuck! It's a nasty piece of work. No grip anywhere, can't see where you're going cause it's all so flat. Tyres burried in the track, hard to pick your line through the middle section (the switchbacks). No really fast bits apart from the main straight. Need any more reasons? :)

I've just been playing Monaco, and I hate it too, it's just not a race track is it! Mexico would be ok if there was a bit more grip, the Ring on the other hand has tons of grip everywhere, it's just a case of learning the layout and working out where the pitfalls are. I get the feeling Mexico is an 'expert' track for drivers who are technically very good, which probably doesn't include me then. :)

You took the words right out of my mouth :) It's beginning to feel like work.... "No honey I can't go tonight I have to improve my ranking.
