GPO Support series is coming!

Stuart Fields — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 08:00:06 +0000

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.

Stuart Fields — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:23:00 +0000

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.

GPO Secures Machinima Partnership

Dave Carr-Smith — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 22:28:59 +0000

It is with great pleasure that I announce GPO’s new partnership with Machinima.

As some of you may know, Machinima is the premier online gaming network, receiving over 108 million video views each month across the Machinima network. Videos will also be uploaded onto the Machinima YouTube channels which hold well over 1 million subscribers.

The deal will see Grand Prix Online having exclusive sole rights within the sim-racing community to upload race highlights, reviews and track guides to the Machinima network that will ultimately see GPO gain huge exposure with the online gaming community.

This partnership is a great coup not only for GPO, but for the teams of GPO both now and in the future, both league and team sponsors can look forward to huge exposure via this newly formed partnership.

We will begin submitting videos to Machinima shortly. We look forward to seeing you at the Spanish GP held on 8th/9th May in order to give us some great new footage to use.

As usual, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact either myself or one of my fellow admins.
