The GPVWC Awards, one of the most cherished traditions of this league, is back for its 2012 edition. The GPVWC Awards are symbolic prizes meant to celebrate the best of the current Superleague season and are ready to be assigned to some of the most remarkable performers of the year.


As usual, the GPVWC Awards will be chosen by the Drivers and Managers who competed in the 2012 season - making the awards significant as they are an acknowledgement coming from fellow competitors. All in all, however, the Awards are meant to be a tongue-in-cheek celebration of a great season of GPVWC racing. For this season, the Awards will be presented LIVE at the GPVWC Day on November 25th. Each Manager and Driver can vote by sending a forum PM (subject: GPVWC Superleague Awards OR GPVWC Supercup Awards) to GPVWC Manager Dave Carr-Smith indicating the top three individuals/teams for each categories.


Number 1 will receive three points, number 2 will receive two points and number 3 will receive 1 point. For the first time in 2012, the GPVWC Administration introduced a shortlist of candidates for each season.


NOTE: Deadline for voting is 4pm on WEDNESDAY, November 21st 2012.
