   Too hard? Not really. It just takes time to really get yourself in synch with these
cars and to get the feel. I can tell you that a group of us will be able to lap very
comfortably at Spa puting the best AI car down between 5 to 7 secs a lap at present. I do
admit that we have not tested under full race distances however, so tyre stability could
be a factor. But comparing the best AI times on low fuel loads indicates the above. Think
back to your first laps in GP2, 1/2 the learning (to drive) curve, and that's about where
GPL is I'd say. Splendid!
