8.3 Is there any way to make GPL display a picture of me?
Yes. By default, GPL displays an image of a ghostly anonymous driver in the
Player selection menu and the newspaper that's displayed at the end of the
race. You can over-ride this anonymous image by placing a bitmap image in
your Player folder. This image should be 105x124 in size and should be 24
bits in color depth (it can be black and white or color), and must be named
player.bmp.

For example, I'd place an image of me in the following location:

C:\SIERRA\gpl\players\Hine__Alison\player.bmp
Now, your image will be displayed in the Player selection menu and also on
the newspaper whenever you win a race.

Also, you can over-ride the default image displayed for all players on the
Player selection menu by placing an image of similar dimenions in GPL's
layout folder.

For example, I'd place an image in the following location:

C:\SIERRA\gpl\layout\player01.pbf
I believe that this must be a Papyrus PBF file. You can download a utility
called WinMip that will convert standard graphics files to PBF format from
several of the sites on my Links page.

You can download a sample player01.pbf and a sample player.bmp from my
downloads page.
