testing on VROC (Virtual Racers' Online Connection). If you want to get a
sneak peak of this application head to http://www.racesimcentral.net/ and read the
news section. There is a screen shot with an early view of what the
interface will look like. As time progresses we will add more and more
features. For some background on VROC read the news post that Alison put up
earlier.

Alisons email:
Many people have asked where to find other people with whom they can
race in Grand Prix Legends on the Internet. Until now, would-be online
GPL racers have been connecting through email, ICQ, IRC, and Kali.
While this has led to some great racing, it often can be hard to figure
out where the action is. Also, would-be hosts must notify potential
clients of their IP addresses, which then must be written down and typed
into GPL's multiplayer screen.
However, soon there will be a single central facility for finding other
GPL online racers and joining them in Internet-based races. This
facility will automate the exchange of IP addresses and launching GPL.
This facility is called the Virtual Racers' Online Connection, or VROC
(pronounced VEE-rock) for short.
VROC is a Web site which will allow you to view a list of GPL races
being hosted, and to join one of those races or to host a race yourself.
VROC is somewhat similar in functionality to services like TEN and The
Zone, but is Web-based and devoted entirely to GPL.
VROC is a co-operative development effort between me (Eagle Woman) and
John O'Keefe of The APEX, and is currently under development. We hope
to begin testing within the next few days, and will go public with the
site as soon as we feel it's ready.
Keep an eye on Eagle Woman's Grand Prix Legends and The APEX for future
announcements about this exciting project:

Please watch these sites for news about VROC. We appreciate email, but
keep in mind that answering requests for status of the development
process will slow down the development of the site and delay its
release.
See you at the track - soon!
