Hi Bruno, welcome to UKGPL   .

Take a look here    https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?board=48.0     look for  "SEASON 37 REGISTRATIONS"   and select which race series you would like to take part in. There are 4 REGISTRATION options. Simply vote in each one that you wish to race.

We have many races planned,  right now we are having a vacation away from league racing until 30th August. But we will have some fun races before the serious stuff starts that you can join in before that date. Watch the forum     https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?board=53.0      for info about races.

Hi friends,
I would like to come back !!

Are you ready ? Are you Ok ?

I thank you in advance

tell me what I must do to regularize my situation

[Phil Thornton]

Bonjour Philippe

Welcome back, please have a look at home page, there are links on there to all the registration threads. The 55GP cars are new since you last raced with us. If you haven't tried them, have a go off-line before you decide if you want to have a go with them.

The Mixed Open Wheel might be of interest to you. Your race history suggests this would be a good series for you.

When you decide which championships you want to race in, just vote in the associated thread.

Regards

Phil

Hi All

the appeal of GPL has got me back sim racing after what seems an age since the last time I raced

I am amazed how many driver names i recognise who are still enjoying GPL ad reading the thread above a few have come back recently too

having loaded up a new build, most things seem to come back to me and work OK

couple of questions

is there a particular chat room to use before a race. I am a reserve and from memory we used to meet in a chat room and wait to be told if OK to join

in setup info it recommends loading up teamspeak. Is it used?

is there any basic setups for the 55 mod? or advice to get started with a setup for these?

cheers

Peter

Hi Pete,
Welcome back after what must be a very long time.

As far as I'm aware the Chat Forum in Igor doesn't get used that regularly. For some reason I can no longer access the GPL chatroom.

Teamspeak is used by a few drivers.

I think you've signed up for the GP Sprint (67's) & 55's. For the 67's there are 22 registrations but only 17 drivers who have scored points. If there is a free space at 9pm it should be fine to join the server - I'd be surprised if there wasn't.
Not sure about the 55's.

True, and it's a great shame.  The pre and post race banter used to be the highlight of each event!

I think that we had a full grid in the 55s on Sunday.  But they are a tad tricky and only four went the full distance.

Best bet is to join SBRC and receive a replay lap and a setup.  ;-)

Hello everyone,

11 months since I've got back to GPL, 10 months since I joined oAo, now I'm intending to enhance my participation in league racing...

I consider myself to be relatively quick but I don't really know whether I would classify myself as a works driver or as a privateer as my lack of consistency has denied me from getting some results in my GPL league racing career so far. How do you here at UKGPL assess someone's class?

[Phil Thornton]

Hi lalb2001

It normally takes a few races to work out the relative ability of a new driver. I suggest you register for the championships you are interested in and we'll make you a works driver for the rest of the season. At the start of next season we will have a better idea if you fit into the Works or Privateer category.

If we made you a Privateer and you turned out to be too fast and easily won the remaining races, the results would distort the current Privateers Championships without you being able to win. The most you could score would be 3 × 50 = 150.

Welcome to UKGPL

Phil

For now I intend to do the F1 55 and 67 seasons to get my rithm racing wiht others back again and just have fun.

Cheers.

Leo

[Phil Thornton]

Hi Leo

Welcome to UKGPL, we are running the 67F1 series as a joint venture with our friends at GPL Brazil so hopefully you will be familiar with the rules. I suggest you join the Privateers, there is a translation of the rules here. Please vote in this thread.

I see you have already voted in the 55GP, I've processed your registration so you now appear in the championship table. The rules for the 55GPs are published above the championship table.

[Dimitar Dulichki]

Hello guys. Finally i decided to give Grand Prix Legends a go. After many years with GT Legends, now i want to drive GPL as well. I hope i can join a race in the future, but first, of course, I'll start testing to be ready.

Cheers, Dimitar.
