New Drivers

[Phil Thornton]

Hi Red

Welcome to UKGPL.  I suggest you have a read through the first post in this thread; it contains some good information for new drivers.  You might find this web page helpful too.

If you haven't raced on-line yet I recommend you setup IGOR and join in on the practice servers.  The AI is OK but you can't beat racing against real people :-).

Regards

Phil

Hi
I want to say hello to the members of this Racing League. My Nickname is Josh64 and I am from Germany. I drive in the GPLRacer League this Year the first time. I want to Drive in this League because I Hope the Drivers here are more Gentlemen like and Not so aggressive like in the GPLRacer League.
So what I must doing to Drive in the Season 27. Maybe I want to drive a 65mod and a 67F2 Mod.
Do You have any Instructions for me?

Hi Josh (or would you prefer another name?). We are in a mid-season break right now but we will probably start up again on 15th July. There is a new members page here that may be helpful. When the season does start there will be registration threads in this forum.

We run two 65 grids on every second Tuesday - for the fast boys there is the 'Pros' series and for the slightly more challenged (i.e. me) there is the Amateurs series. The Pros are a bit less gentlemanly than the Amateurs but the contest is just as keen. If you are not sure, go for the Amateurs and I can always move you up. As for the F2s. Sunday night and almost certainly a single grid with a wide range of abilities.

Drop me a PM if you need anything else. Take a look out for Cookie's fun races in the meantime.

Thought it was about time - The dogs old enough to need only moderate shouting at and the house and garden now look vaguely civilized!
Has anything major changed or is it all much as it used to be?

I haven't noticed you registering for the 65 Ams.... 

I've barely touched GPL for a year(ish), but I don't think Ams would be fair

Hallo Bastian, welcome

You will find all information about the series we race in "UKGPL Announcements" subforum

For the 67s, 65s and 67F2s we have 2 divisions for the faster and less fast drivers (e.g. 65s: Professionals -Amateurs)

If you want to join a series you have to vote in the poll of the series registration thread

Hi there !

Having jumped back into the sweet GPL groove this year (via the F1Legends league) after a 5-five year break I'm hoping to find the time to at last run in the legendary UKGPL . I've been into GPL since it came out and into simracing for many years before that (the old Papyrus Indy 500 sim ). I started GPL online late in 2005 and was quite active on the scene for five years, competing in all the French-speaking leagues and some foreign ones as well like Runar Bjornstad's awesome 2007 WC 40th Anniversary series. With Runar we set up the 2008 World Cup as a continuation to the WC 40th, and late in the year I also created Historic Simracing Organisation with three other fellow GPLers (Martin Audran, Antoine de Mautor, Guillaume Siebert). We did have some GPL racing at HSO early on, and actually two of the current top three in the gplrank participated in those races . We're 100% rFactor now since a few years, but we're still hoping to stage some GPL events in the future.

Nice to see some familiar names racing here lately, like my man Iestyn - what's up dude - or that other froggy David Rainier  .

I have yet to thoroughly read all the rules and schedules but will do so ASAP and hope to see you all trackside soon !
