Bzzt! Wrong answer, thanks for playing...<g> Actually, I ran some laps at Watkins Glen, and tried left-foot braking. After stuffing my ferrari in the wall for the umpteenth time, I gave up again...

I heard from a confidential source that he's flown out to Finland recently for private tuition from El Huttu. I hope his mobo blows so I can have a chance to beat his time at the Ring. Andrew

Yep, no sooner had I joyfully announced that I had overtaken him than he leapfrogs me again...... How is it possible to feel so competitive with people you have never met and don't really know? All I know is the strange looks I get when I realise that I've drifted off into that dream world where I have just made a perfect pass through the chicane at Monaco, or completed 3 laps in a row without crashing at the 'Ring :-) Ian Ian Riches Bedford, UK

Hey Eldred, I see you've moved the notch up a fair bit at GPL Rank. Seems you've found around half a minute at the Ring. Way to go! And I thought I had my work cut out for me before. Hmmm....I may have to visit the Ring tonight. PS How did you manage to gain all that time at the Ring? -- Ken MacKay Halifax, Canada GPL Handicap +159.60
