VROC is the data base that list the races that people put up on VROc
and you can join right from the web site.

GSB is an interface to VROC which lets you see all the races listed on
VROC shows you who is in the race and also has a chat room for all the
racers to meet in. You can join, host or set up dedicated servers
right from GSB.

Stupid Question About VROC & Spyboy

Alright, Sorry but I have to ask.

Does VROC & Spyboy do the same thing?  From what I understand, VROC is a
java applet and seeks out all GPL races around the world that are going on.
Is that right or do those races somehow register with VROC?  Also if VROC &
Spyboy are the same thing, why would you use Spyboy when it's just 1 more
program to clog up your hard drive?

Thanks in Advance

Also, the advantage of going through Spy Boy is that you don't have to run
Netscape (which can consume a lot of your system resources) to join the races.
GSB is very light weight.
