You have 2 major problems here. 1/ limited time and 2/ Playing many sims. You are simply
kidding yourself if you think you will get good at GPL by dividing your limited time by
using other sims. It's obviously the habbits you have formed in these other sims that make
you think GPL is wrong. And the demo tracks are easy! Wait till Spa and the Ring get a
hold of you! You'll be throwing your 'puter out the window for sure, hehehehehehe. Why
waste your time on other sims? Get GPL, do 2-3 hour sessions at a time and enjoy. Being
able to pilot these things well takes time and is EXTREMELY rewarding!

   PS - I drive the Lotus with full non linearity as I have explained to you before and am
right there with the best in the world. But being this fast only comes with a LOT of hours
of practice, just like any other sport! GPL is faultless IMO.
