The former follower of the GPVWC has set up his own league (allF1) and publicly attacked the GPVWC and Dan Lawrence after promotion of his league was refused.
Stovold had applied to compete in the GPVWC for the 2001 season and was succesful in his application. He then proceeded to ask Dan Lawrence for a managerial job assisting the day to day running of the GPVWC. As there was no job to offer Stovold he was politely told that his services were not needed. Stovold then repeatedly (over the course of two hours) begged for a job (literally)..
Since then Stovold has set up his own league - asking the GPvWC and Dan Lawrence to promote it. After being told that the GPVWC were not interested in promoting his league Stovold proceeded to abuse Dan over icq and to post untrue information on his website.
Stovold also posed as sim racing rep David Griffen and GP3 Global League Administrator Kurt Baumann in order to abuse Dan over ICQ.
here are a few extracts from the ICQ log between Dan and Stovold -
If you would like to view the full icq history please contact Dan

The GPVWC would like to warn ALL members to stay away from Stovold as he is seriously unstable.....
He has been banned from EVER competing in the GPVWC.
His site base - Homestead - have also been emailed requesting that his 'libelous' pages be taken down immediately.
Dan Lawrence would also like to apologise to all GPVWC members who have been abused in the same way by Stovold.. (Richard Dickson being one of them..)
