GPL Sillyness #2
Posted by Glyn
When your mum comes up stairs with jammy dodgers and a cup of tea, you cant really say no can you? The only problem being we were just about to start a game of GPL - this should be fun.
Luckly, having a clutch pedal meant I didn't make a complete hash of the start, but changing up the gears and controlling the oversteer was a problem with a boiling hot cup of tea in your hand.
On the way to the first corner, my worst nightmares came true. Spinning and hitting the wall caused the wheel to jolt, sloshing tea all over my mouse pad. Its already had various other drinks spilt on it so I wasn't too bothered.
Later on in the race Sim went side by side with me round 2 corners, and down hanger straight. They say Masta at Spa is a hairy corner - you should try going side by side drinking a cup of tea!
Anyway, from this I have concluded that if Ellis NASCAR track is to be any good, but must feature a straight long enough to take a sip of tea, because Hanger Straight is about 100 metres too short.

I doubt my fictional track is going to be long enough, depending on what speed your doing, but Knockhill will not be long enough :P 50 second lap times in an IROC cr with no elevation yet :P
Racing Is Life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting
Jesus may be able to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life, but he can't do shît for low fps

I was in the middle of an online race once, at Kyalami, just starting the straight, about half a second behind my long time rival, and my mobile went off...
...being the considerate bastard I am, I answered it, as changing up gears with my right hand was fine... about 100 metres from the braking area, and I realised that I was gonna struggle to change down gears...
I swerved to the right to avoid the other guy, stamped on everything, ended up going backwards past him, and hit the wall...
yeah as Glyn said I did that for about 4 laps at Castle Combe in the VT race I just moved my right hand over to the left paddle to downshift, wasnt easy though lol
