GPL: I think I've just set a new world record!! :)

_SEVEN***_ barrel rolls in my Lotus 49! I have the replay as evidence. 190mph down Mexico's front straight and then bam! into the bank at the side of the track, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thir***, four***, fif***, six***, seven***! Then my car bounces over the guard rail! Can anyone beat that?? BTW, no I wasn't abusing the game, I had just set a PB :o))) 1:50.3 something. -- Rob Swindells "Add life to your days, not days to your life." "The greatest substitute for talent is hard work."

Impressive! Jon

I did 25/26 when I got the Bosch Kurve all wrong. But far worse than that I just crashed my real car this evening : ( No-one hurt thankfully. Feckin mud on the road caused me to slide when I hit the brakes and I didnt get the front wheels unlocked quick enough - wasn't even going fast. All that GPL didnt help me this time. -- Cheers, Robin Lord - Trance DJ & Sim Racer. http://www.oppositelock.co.uk Nrburgring and Grand Prix Legends | _SEVEN***_ barrel rolls in my Lotus 49!

I guess Shift+R didn't help, eh? :) > I did 25/26 when I got the Bosch Kurve all wrong. > But far worse than that I just crashed my real car this evening : ( > No-one hurt thankfully. Feckin mud on the road caused me to slide when I hit

I have a great replay from the Glen where I parked the car in the pits and as the car stopped the engine exploded and the car shot into the air and hit the sky box and just proceeded to flip wildly in mid-air until coming to rest on the grass just inside Big Bend.

With Robins driving, Shift R would not have helped. ;) Breaking my poor Starlet like that :( Pete

Ah but Rob, if you *are* abusing the game you can beat it, I did exactly the same thing, rolling along the bank in Mexico. Actually I was trying to launch my Eagle into space, but I ended up with a 19-roll move :-) I've got the replay somewhere :-) -- Cheers! Graeme Nash

Sounds like a helluva ride... I've got to have the record for both in the air cartwheels and altitude in the same wreck from an online incident at Spa - slid into the guy I was running with coming out of the little S between Les Combes and Burnenville and when he/we hit the fence, I orbited - got so high the car bounced off the "ceiling".

Hey Rob, I'm sure I remember you posting a few months back about you having done 1:49.xx at Mexico and that you felt you could get down into the 1:44s. I remember posting a follow up to it, or was it someone else? Think I'll be paying a visit to deja this weekend. :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

I'm stuck at 15 at mosport...<g> And yes I *was* abusing the game. Don't we all do this sometimes?
