Dave, you must look at GPL from a broader perspective. Remember that a large number of people driving GPL live Stateside. As a consequence it doesn't get really busy until about 22:00GMT, when the top Euro drivers meet are likely to meet face to face with our buddies over the pond. ( BTW before someone swipes me here as seems fashionable at present, no I'm not quite a top driver <G>). Even then we are only considering the East coasters. Many guys on the West side of the USA are happily pounding the tracks when you and I are tucked up in the early hours of the morning. This makes for some long lie-in's on saturday mornings hehe. Regards. MS

Thats a bit early really, the most popular time seems to be after 11PM when we start getting some US racers on as well, 5 - 7 PM is about lunchtime in US so most are still working. If you use GSB you will see quite a few people in chat usually throughout the day. Alternatively get involved in a league where you can get some regular racing with people of a similar ability. -- Ian Parker UKGPL League http://members.xoom.com/ukgpl/index.html http://www.ukgpl.com --
