Hi,

I've been spending the last three weeks slowly getting back into GPL after a ten year break. My aim, this time around, is to enjoy racing rather than hot-lapping, and today I did just that.

The intention was to learn an historic track which I hadn't driven before and to be competitive against the AI. Well, mission accomplished. I've just had an absolute blast with the AI in my 1966 McLaren M2B. Really close racing and I felt the fear and excitement of the original drivers.

So, a huge thank you to the everyone who keeps GPL going. This is what it's all about. Lee, I'm loving the head-movement patch now that I've got it to work.

Now for my next challenge in the McLaren: but which track should I choose?

Spa 67........ but take the 312 if you want to win

Janakkala!

Seems daunting at first, but it's a lot of fun once you've memorised it.

Solitude

[Marx]

Targa Florio and Ilse of Man. Epic tracks in history, length and quality.

[twinpotter]

Montlhlery in France. Always been one of my favourite GPL tracks.

TP:

[Arno]

Goodwood, Spa67 and Beal60s

[Arturo Pereira]

Very soon Spa67 will have excellent company, so I would try Spa67 in the meantime.

[Michkov]

Or join us over at oAofor some human opponents, next up Silverstone on 8.8.  That should give you time to prep.

Arturo, what are you suggesting? Is something on the horizon as epic as Spa67 ???

At least it will replace an original Papyrus track.
