February 10, 2001
After a week of frustration where the main GPVWC computer literally died, I am back in action and slowly getting to grips with what has been happening since I have been away. Many things need to be done asap, such as posting the remaining team launches and releasing the 2001 carset.

During my absence I was able to construct a new PC to replace my old PII233mhz shitheap, so I don't expect to be having any more computer problems in the near future!

Also, as many of you may already know, I have returned to work and have not got as much time for site updates and can not be online as much as I have been in the recent past. These problems have been worked around though, so there is no need to start getting worried! :)

I would like to warmly welcome Lynette Dixon (my fiancee) to the GPVWC team. She will help out with the administration and will be online to answer questions and respond to emails every day (at some point during the day).

I also had a few offers of help from various people, all of whom will be contacted shortly (as soon as I get my mail configured with outlook again).

With all of this help my workload will be eased considerably and I will have more time to answer questions, update new sections on the website and get our new hosting package sorted.

Things are looking very rosy for the future indeed!

As for 2001, we need to conduct a practice race ASAP! For this I need to issue a carset (which will be released in a few days time). This practice race will determine the fastest of the new teams and the slowest new team will sadly not be able to compete in 2001 (due to the 11 car limit in GP3 and F1).

I need 1 2000 team to step down from the practice race so that we have 11 teams to race with, so if there is a 2000 team with drivers who can't or don't want to compete in the practice race contact my via ICQ asap.

Site updates to come in the next 2 days:

DPI Team Launch

Ferrari Racing Team Launch

TBA Racing Team Launch

BA Racing Team Launch

Roaldo Racing Team Launch

Arela GP Engineering Team Launch

2 new hotlaps (at least) for the hotlap section

Some more info on the practice race and 2001

So keep checking back!
