Do you want to race drivers at your own level online in GPL, at any track,
whenever you want and where the outcome will matter for your standings in a
competition? If so, then take a look at any of these three competitions:

Scandinavian Open GPL Ladder (SOGL), for Europeans as far south as the internet
will allow.
   - http://www.racesimcentral.net/~w-41236/GplLadder/SOGL/index.html
Australian Open GPL Ladder (AOGL), for Australians and surroundings.
   - http://www.racesimcentral.net/~w-41236/GplLadder/AOGL/index.html
US Open GPL Ladder (USOGL), for North Americans and as far south as the internet
will allow.
   - http://www.racesimcentral.net/~w-41236/GplLadder/USOGL/index.html

Until now there has only been SOGL, where we have tested out the format of the
competition, but now we go public with this format, cause it have potential to
be great fun :o). I have plans for an Italian Open, mainly cause southern
Europeans usually have trouble getting low pings to northern Europeans.

The general idea is all about practicing online racing and being a gentleman
driver. You join the competition closest to you, time zone wise, make an offline
or online off-competition Novice race where your fastest race lap will rank you
on that track in the competition. You arrange these races yourself and they are
needed to get your first ranking on any of the tracks. In the competition you
may now challenge drivers a little bit better than you for a match on the tracks
you have been ranked. A match is best out of three Novice races at that track.
Max three drivers per match, which means you may challenge upto two drivers per
match.

We also have a club at Yahoo clubs where drivers from all three competitions
meet and discuss, chat, organize big friendly races (if we get drivers with
cable modem's and T1's :o)) and can watch how the weather is here in Sweden,
where I live :o).

Please visit the sites and read the news, rules and "How to" part.

If there's a six in my email replace it with the digit instead.
