I'm up for it as always, at least when I'm at home. I should be able to make it to three or four of the races.

If we continue racing at Tuesdays, don't expect me to race when there are GPLPT races on the same day. As for the rest, count me in

Maybe we ought to finally have a change of race day this time then?? I think we've talked about it every new season, but never actually done anything.
Since I won't be around for enough races to be an overall contender though I'd like to nominate myself to drive just the BRM and Honda. That way I can still have some fun dicing for some lower positions, and also stay out of the important championship battles. |

I will be there, but only from time to time as other commitments allow. If the day/time is to be changed, I have now lots of commitments, but Wednesday would definitely be out.

I'd love to do it, 'cept the races may be in the Wee-hours for me, and I might get mega-lag even with my "Phat Pipes"

Hello, Folks,
I am interested, but time zones may be a problem (I'm living near Boston now). I took part in some races in the 2003/2004 TTFRL season but couldn't continue to race due to problems in my computer (you may recall that: it often crashed amidst a race. This seems to have been solved now). One thing that I always wanted to ask... Why don't you guys race during weekends? I fail to understand why you race in a working day, as Thursday or Wednesday or whatever. Since Ten Tenths has members around the world, the only feasible days for a truly global league is, taking into consideration time zones, Saturday or Sunday... Cheers, Muzza |

But then GPL is around 7/8 years old (I think), and even with new cars it should run well.
What sorta spec is your system? |

I may be availble but not on a regular basis, as along with GBGPL 76s , 65s, and now 69s Mondays / Thursdays.
I am also heavily involved with GBGTL & Mini SE7EN Leagues on Wednesday. As Tuesdays are only testing days at the moment i could slip in for the races. Pete |

My current desk is too wobbly to handle my momo force wheel in full action...
and just had to do a fresh install of windows so i'll have to install everything again. If someone can help me with links to some good download sites for the patches and new cars, would be much appreciated! |

It shouldn't do. We've had people racing on dial-up before.

Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4:00 PM Eastern Time (I believe that's 9:00 PM in the Isles) would work out great for me. Plus weekends, of course.
By the way, what's the secret to making my mirrors not choppy in OpenGL rendering again? Like ASCII Man, I had to re-install Windows recently (lousy no-restore-disk-saving computer repairmen!). |

A couple of the ideas floating around might be something to look at, such as the GPL69 mod, but its early days.
Before kicking off season 5 there's a couple of things I need to sort out. I'd like to have an automated scoring mechanism and a 'proper' website in place, both of which I'm currently working on. |
