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

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.

In between the practice sessions at the Monaco track, Scott Beck, team owner and driver of Rothmans Racing joined us for a welcome drink and a small interview.

Behind The Scenes is all about the people behind the visors. What are they doing and what do they like or dislike are the main questions for this section. For the first issue we sat down on the paddock in Malaysia with Stuart Fields, one of GPO’s multitasking men with some questions. In this article we get to know a little about the man Stuart Fields and his views on certain matters withing his GPO staff role, his team principle role and as a driver.
