Hi all. Ever since Bas and I have been picking up Grand Prix Legends again we've been busy getting a Monster Ranking done. I'll first explain what it is and then tell you why he's a b*stard. (No no, you don't need to guess, as his (for now) is lower than mine obviously ... ;-) As I'm not sure I told you guys what a GPL Rank is I'll start with that, as it's easier explaining a Monster Rank then. On each of the Grand Prix Legends default circuits a benchmark time has been set. On Monza for example this time is 1:30.202. When you compare your own fastest lap (no matter weather it's a practice, training or race lap, and no matter which car you use) with that benchmark time you get your GPL Rank time on that circuit. In my case it's like this: With my Lotus I did a lap in 1:30.051. This is faster than the set benchmark (You honestly didn't think me picking Monza was a accident, now did you ... ;-) so for the Monza circuit my GPL Rank is -0.151. In this case it was a lap in a race, but if it had been a practice or training lap it would have counted also. A Monster Ranking is different in that not just the fastest lapin any chassis counts, but all fastest laps in all chassis are counted up. So where I have a GPL Rank of +9.463 I also have a Monster Ranking of +492.876 ... Yeah I know, but the excuse is that I've only began with having a Monster Ranking in the first place just a couple of days ago and I'm working on it, promise. Bas however (yes this is the b*stard bit) has a Monster Ranking of +439.608 which is almost a whole minute faster than mine! Now this does sound quite dramatically, I know. But please bare in mind that it's one minute divided over seven chassis and eleven tracks so that makes it (seven times eleven devided over sixty seconds) about seven tenths of a second per car per circuit so you'll have to admit that now it sounds ... well erm ... still pretty dramatically, I know. Grrr. Lucky for me I still have the lower GPL Ranking otherwise I would have needed to come up with some sort of lousy excuse for not showing up with race weekends anymore for some time ;-) I mean come on, I still do this for fun mostly but I do want to be the faster one of course *grin* Well I'm Monstering my way back old chap, you just wait (please wait!) and see :-)
