I have only recently discovered the joys of GPL. The only problem is that I
have downloaded several setups and placed them in their respective track
directories but when I try to use them in the game the don't show up. Also,
how do you get into this VROC thing?

You need to put them under your 'player' directory.

Setups go in the players directory not the tracks directory. If you go into
the players directory you will see a directory for your player name. Go
into this and you will see a setups directory. Go into this and you will
see a folder for each track. Copy the setup into the relevant track folder
here.
As to VROC, go to http://www.vroc.net and download WinVROC. You also need
to download the WinVROC fix. Install the files and fire up the porgram
whilst connected to the net. You will be asked to enter where GPL is
installed and a chat name. The a rce list should appear, usually with
between 10 and 20 races. Green races are ones you can join, amber races are
ones you can;t join because of a speed issue, blue races are password
protected and red races are either underway, for a track you don't have
installed (indicated by a - in front of the track name) or for the wrong
version of GPL. In order to run on VROC you must have version 1.2 of GPL
installed.

The setups go in the corresponding track folder in the "setups" subdirectory
of your particular player.
E.g. C:\sierra\gpl\players\Stamper__David\setups\spa\bat_out_of_hell.lo1
WinVROC... well, you need a modem and an internet connection (seeing as
you're asking on a newsgroup I figure you got that bit sorted), a copy of
GPL with v1.2 patch and no-disco patch applied (www.sierra.com) and nerves
of steel.

David, you've probably already received the correct advice but here goes
anyway....
The setup files go into the *player* folders. For each player you create a
separate folder is automatically made. Under each player is a folder called
"Setups". For each track you visit and create a setup for there is a
sub-folder (the track name) created in that "Setups" folder.
It is in that Track folder that you put your setups.
