Hey what the heck, thought I'd try some online racing. After starting winvroc I get the GPL version incompatible, all red squares the instructions say check path (which is OK). Any other options other than uninstalling it?

u need gpl 1.2 patch available from papy.com also sometimes the WinVroc installer may show the correct gpl location, but browse to the gpl folder manually just to be sure Md Keith Daniell wrote: > > Hey what the heck, thought I'd try some online racing.

Ran my first couple of short races last night, a bit embarrassing, spun at Silverstone and finished near the back, broke down at Monza (yes, Lotus and I love it) after some contacts. I think the shakes will stop during my online racing eventually. Great fun! WinVROC is impressive, no problems with latency or warping (granted only 2 experiences so far). Rock solid. Thanks to all who helped create this excellent program/environment. Keep up the good work! -Keith Keith Daniell wrote:

+) well just to prevent any confusion... Winvroc has nothing to do with your race connection, all it does is help you find races Md Keith Daniell wrote:

Thanks for the clarification. Anyway, very handy program and accolades extended to the folks that made GPL so effective online. -Keith Martyn Danby wrote:

Been racing online since January, still get all wigged out and shakey when anywhere near other racers. I need to condition myself to ignore the other cars and concentrate on driving! Hey look I am catching that car . . . was! SLG Keith Daniell <[email hidden]> wrote:
