Hello everyone,

Recently I had been surfing youtube for some GPL videos to help me learn tracks, and I realized that there are not very many videos of just people doing laps. I have decided that I will fix this problem with a new series of videos that will be just simple laps from a mounted car position. These will be like the old style films drivers of the era used to watch before they would tackle a circuit on their own. I will be doing as many tracks as I can, and I will take any suggestions or ideas anyone has. Whether you view these videos to learn a track, look at the pretty scenery, get your GPL fix at work, or just to make fun of my “interesting” driving skills, I will be happy to have you viewing them.

The first Video will be one of Monaco:

In the future I hope to add some sort of commentary. I find it hard right now though, because everyone has their own way of racing around the track, and mine probably isn’t the best. I would want the commentary to be more about the track then it would be how to drive it. If anyone has suggestions about this please let me know.

I also hope to do some of the same tracks over again with the other mods. I am unsure if it will be worth it though, since these aren’t videos to teach you how to drive. Let me know what you guys think

Thanks again,

~Jake

Being home from school I now have time to do some of these over the next few weeks. I decided I'll do the races on the 1965 calendar, including the non-championship races.

The first stop on the 1965 season is East London in Prince George South Africa. It is a beautiful spot on the schedule, and provides a short but fun track to race on. This time Ferrari have let us strap the camera (they're big you know) on their car and they gave us a few laps around the circuit. This is one of those laps.

Stay tuned for more GPLaps.
