VROC is the only real on-line racing option for GPL at the moment, 
maybe other racing sites will appear over time though?

To race at VROC you will need to have GPL (obviously), Netscape 
(version 4.5 preferred as support for older versions may not be 
available at VROC for much longer?).

I recommend visiting the VROC site and d/l'ing and reading the FAQ 
pages, (especially helpful are the FAQ's on setting up DUN for 
on-line gaming and setting up GPL for on-ling racing) and you will 
also need a file called core.ini (which is available from the VROC 
site also) which you place in your GPL directory.

Virtual On-line Racing Community. The VROC site is currently 
specifically for GPL only though.

Hope to see you on-line soon....
