Would you kindly point out to me why you took such offence to my post? You a budy of
Zonker or something? Where do I imply that your not entitled to your opinion? What
rubbish!
   Btw, Spa, or any other track, is as hard as the competition make it. Sub 3.20s at Spa
are definantly not easy but times close to the 3.20 mark on low fuel loads are very
repeatable.
   I think you and Zonker are being very premature about your judgement of GPL. These are
all new tracks, cars and physics models and simply need to be adjusted too. One thing I do
think however is that Papy really missed a great opportunity by ommitting the GP2 and GP3
classes as a training tool. We could have had 3 different types of leagues for everyone
that way and the general sales appeal would have been substantially increased. To me, this
has been the worst news about GPL so far.
