I hear a lot about VROC, and was wondering, how do I get on? Does it take
special software?
Sorry to sound lame, but I've started wondering about online races ever
since I got hooked on GPL(a week ago).
Are there novice races? I don't want to be in anyone's way, just want to
race against someone live!
Can a service like this be used in NR1999?

You need a recent version of Netscape - either the 4.5 version with the
full suite of Netscape tools or 4.07 or later of the standalone
browser. Then go to http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc/ and read the stuff
for new users. You will need to download a special ping utility and a
core.ini file. You should also tweak your Windows 95/98 Dial Up
Networking setup to optimize it for gameplay. That's about it.
Occasionally. VROC will display the level the host has set (although
this pertains more to race length and damage model). Some hosts will
also mention in the comment field that the race is for novices.
VROC is specifically for GPL.
Good luck,

How possible would it be for the people who set up VROC to set up a similar
service for NR1999? They both being PAPY sims, it seems that is should be a
possibility.

Even if they are from the same company, they are completely different
product. The client/server architecture and multiplayer coding is far
different.
Still, there is way for you to race online with your NR1999 CD. You have a
/NROS section for use on TEN. It's for the Nascar sanctioned online series.

Oh, I'm sure they could do it. It's just a question of do they want
to? Do they even play that game? I know that John O'Keefe, Alison Hine
and company are very passionate about GPL and did a considerable amount
of work just for the benefit of the GPL community.

Yeah, but you have to subscribe to TEN, and I don't think that would be
worth it when NR1999 would be the only game I'd be interested in. That's
just one more ting to pay for. No thanks. I'll stick with racing my
Bro-in-law on the LAN.
Anyhow, thanks to everybody for the info on VROC. Went there today and
checked it out. A bit more practice and maybe I'll get up the nerve to join
a race. Still having oversteer issues though...
Try lowering your front shock rebound, and add some rear toe.
