Bugfix for GPL Replay Analyzer 7.52003-12-27 09:21:14
Author: Ed Hut
A small bug was discovered in GPL Replay Analyzer 7.5. The bug is that the last laptime of the file that is being uploaded to GPLRank is truncated, meaning a faster laptime was submitted than actually driven. This only happens with GPLRA 7.5 on Win9x and WinME. People running either Win98 or WinME should get this version 7.51 if they use GPLRA to upload times to GPLRank, either direct via GPLRA or via the GPLLaptimes.ini file. WinXP and Win2k-users does not have to upgrade.

After upgrading, just resubmit your times and GPLRank will store the newly uploaded laptime.
Small enhancement of 107% page2003-12-16 18:18:49

In the 107% page you can now limit the tracks that will be displayed to just one specific rank. Somebody suggested this enhancement a while ago. I don't remember who it was (I don't archive all my email), but thanks to whoever it was!

Close collaboration with JC Hotlap Site2003-12-03 17:46:53
Author: Ed Hut
Many of you may not be aware of JC's Hotlap Site, which is dedicated to all non-F1 car classes. This great website collects replays and setups of many tracks, so that people that want to drive non-F1 classes can benefit.

From today GPLRank stores all replays that are served by JC's and checks for interesting laptimes when people upload their laptimes. If you already have a non-F1 account at GPLRank, find out now if you have laptimes are considered interesting.

If you have never driven a F2 car, or have swapped a F2 engine in a F1 chassis to create a FD class car, head over to JC's Hotlap Site to find out more!
Chassis selection for track statistics in MCH2003-10-24 17:53:55

By request of Ruud Dingemans, the track statistics feature in MCH now takes the selected chassis into account. As Ruud described it: "I'd like to see how I'm doing as a BRM driver on a certain track if I'm driving the BRM, since comparing it to the average time (with all those Lotii and Eaglii around) kinda shrouds the results."

I intend to include selection for car class as well sometime soon. Watch this space!
WR page now also shows unverified records2003-10-11 13:40:47

Many people have asked for a page that just plainly shows all the best laptimes for all tracks for all chassis, and here it is! It is now very easy to check if you hold a record (I was surprized to see that I hold the Brabham F1 record at the short version of Oulton Park).

Please note that only F1 laps for a limited number of tracks are being verified by GPLRank admins, while non-F1 laps are being reviewed by the crew of JC's Hotlap Site.

New version of Multiple Choice Hell2003-09-20 07:12:47
Author: Ed Hut
A new version of Multiple Choice Hell is now online. This version has faster response times than the previous version, especially for tracks with many laptimes. You'll also notice a new option in the chassis selection: "Any chassis of 1967", which will in due time of course be extended with "Any chassis of 1965" and all chassis of 1965.
New ini-file processing is now live2003-09-15 12:52:25
Author: Ed Hut
After a full week without any issues with the 2nd beta of the new and improved ini-file processing I've decided deploy it for real. Of course I have my fingers crossed :-)
In case of any weird behaviour, please drop us a line at the email address that's mentioned above.
