It is with great pleasure that we can announce to you the introduction of a support class race series to Grand Prix Online.

In the next update to GPO, as well as the final tracks, adverts, loading screens and the usual things you expect from an update we will also be including a specially modified for GPO Porsche supercup mod and a Formula BMW single seater mod to form the GPO Support series.

Details of the races, times and schedule will be posted in the coming weeks but we can say now that we will not be using the standard F1 tracks for this series. The decision was taken to include some of the very best circuits rfactor has to offer and make a truly great add on to the current GPO series. Templates for both cars will also be included and on the run up to the start of the series we will release a skin pack for you all to include your teams liveries.

We really hope that this will be a good thing for GPO and will open up new doors for the league and give us some more exciting racing as well as a great test bed for upcoming GPO F1 drivers.

Stay tuned for further announcements in the coming week.

Many thanks

The GPO admin team.

Grand Prix Onlines administration would like to say that at this time we have no comment on the article posted in the daily news.

Here is the full article about the events of the GPO sprint series British Grand Prix. The actual written report was huge this time (in the very best way) so the font size had to be reduced to fit all of the text into the document. So as a result you will see that the image, when clicked on, will go slightly larger than previous. Thanks to Nick Oldenhuis for a superb article and thanks to all of the sprint series drivers for giving us such a great race to write about. Enjoy.

Can all drivers registered to drive in either Challenge or Sprint series events please remember to complete your driver allocation for the upcoming race. This is an important part of the preparation for a grand prix weekend and we would appreciate your co operation on this matter. Thank you.

After a bit more work we can now bring you the finished, revised format GPO news articles in their intended double page spread format. With luck you can click the thumbnail below and the full article will load in a larger screen for viewing and reading. We hope you enjoy this as it has taken a lot of preparation and hard work to produce an article of this nature and to be able to bring you a much improved news section. Many thanks. The GPO admin.

Please leave us your feedback and comments. Thank you.

With a week to go until the next round of the GPO championships posters for the event have been seen around town and the German race fans are getting ready for the GPO circus to arrive.

This stunning race flyer was created by resident GPO artist James Scanlan whose work can be found throughout the media of Grand Prix Online. Many thanks to James for creating this.

As part of the GPO website facelift currently going on we have updated the links for the free practise screen and the live timing application. You will see these located at the top left of the website and a simple click will take you to either of these applications.

This has been done to allow us to free up some of the tabs at the top of the website for further new content as it is developed. The old links still work for the time being and we will update you all when this is changed. For now though we hope you enjoy the continued updates to your GPO website.

Do you have a team or driver website that you would like to have featured on Grand Prix Online? If so contact the league admin and we will add you to the new team websites bar located at the lower left of this website.

We very much look forward to adding new content and helping your teams and drivers reach whole new audiences.

After some work the news reports for GPO will be getting a dramatic facelift as we strive to make GPO a more visually striking and appealing place to visit. The upcoming race previews and race reports will take on a new look and be uploaded in a visual magazine style presentation along with images of the key race moments.

The one included here is an example of the work and simply utilises the excellent report written by Malcolm Rice that eventually became the audio for the highlights video. Part of the article is missing as this would be visible on a second page that will be created.

We hope you enjoy this new development, please leave your comments and we will return with more soon. Please click the image for an enlarged pop up screen. Thank you.
