GPL F3 Hotlaps

Hi, Is there a site where I can find F3 replays? (or times) Before moving to F1 (and F2), I'd like to master these 'gokarts' first, and I need some sort of reference to where I'm standing right now. HCW

Hi, I am not aware of any fast lap sites for F3 cars, but no doubt somone will have some info for you on that, but i have listed here my best times for all the tracks, using the F3 cars. It might give you some idea of what are reasonable times. Kyalami 1:37.90 Mexico 2:09.82 Monaco 1:43.13 Monza 1:52.09 Mosport 1:38.19 Nurburg 10:04.14 Rouen 2:24.55 Silver 1:48.06 Spa 4:09.68 Watkins 1:19.71 Zandy 1:41.39 Those were taken from my best laps table in GPL.... I hope that helps you out a bit. Cheers, Ron

> Hi, > I am not aware of any fast lap sites for F3 cars, Ron... thats because there is not such thing as a fast F3 lap!! Its an oxymoron ;) Ask Mike Barlow.... he is into going slow <VBG> Scott PA-Scott G.T.S. Racing - http://www.GTS-Racing.com -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Mark, First of all let me state that I was just busting on Mike, The King of the F3 race hosts <G> Secondly... I havent run that many laps in the F3 but It annoys the heck out of me when I punch it and the RPM limiter kicks in. ROFL Im use to hearing that baby scream ;) Scott PA-Scott -- Scott B.

Sure Scott. It takes some getting used to. There are better sounds out there to make these things sound a bit more exiting. Mail me if you want me to send you something. The whole thing about F3 racing is that there is much less reliance on machinery to go fast. It takes a very smooth driving style to go fast in one of these babies and the envelope performance is much narrower. You will not be able to use the engine as a steering device in a F3 car. If you forget about ultimate straight line speed (these things are all relative anyway), the racing becomes much more exiting when running with the faster F3 guys. Barlow and myself were running at Monaco last night for a number of laps within inches of each other before i hit the bales at the chicane :- (. I dare any F1 racers to go through Eau Rouge together side by side at full racing speed and hold it together :-) Regards Mark > Mark, > First of all let me state that I was just busting on Mike, The King of the > F3 race hosts <G> > Secondly...

F3 is a lot harder than F1. You should try it, it's a blast. Scott says...

You may think that sounds funny, but what I think is you need to hop into a race with Jake or Chris Anderson in F3 cars. I can see the tears flowing now...... B-b-b-b-b-u-t its a TRAINER!! Why am I getting my ASS kicked????? Neither the F1, F2, of F3s are "easy", give F3 racing a shot, I believe you will see my logic.. Its VERY different. GPL has a LOT of hidden virtues, and F3 racing is one of them! >> F3 is a lot harder than F1.

Naah, You just need more drivers to "kart series", so keep talking, my ears and eyes are sealed... ;P
