»How to prepare Gp2 for racing in the league

Be sure you use your Grand Prix 2 with all original values. If you are not sure if you have used any editors that modified things like cc-cars performance or track values in the past we recommend to re-install your Grand Prix 2 to avoid problems. It is not necessary to install a new Gp2 but so you can be sure you made everything right. We also recommend to use no further editors or utilities for your league Gp2 than Steven Young's Gp2Edit and Gp2Lap.

	The first step is to download the latest version of the carset from the downloads page of the league. Then you have to export it into your Gp2 using Steven Young's Gp2Edit v1.84 (If you don't have it you can download it from the networks' download site). Be sure to export all items of the carset into your Gp2.
	The only thing you can change is the cockpit. If you want to use your own one you can do it.
	The next step is to install Gp2Lap v1.14. It is also available on the networks' download site in the utilities section. Download and install it using the documentation in the zip-archive.
	As the last step you have to download the track from the league's download section and install it into the right slot. If you've done this right your Grand Prix 2 should be ready for action!

»How to run a qualifying session

Be sure you followed the instructions under the section above!!! Then start a non-championship race. Start a qualifying session and save your fastest hotlap.
Name the files as the following and send it to tizianofurlan@xyz.it

Q_nn_dn.xxx

Q means that this is a qualification lap. It remains!!!

nn is the driver number. This should be yours!

dn are the driver initals. Should be yours, too!

xxx is the file suffix given by Gp2. Should not be changed!

For example: If my name is Horst Schmidt and my number would be 55, I would have to name my lap: Q_55_HS.HLX !

»How to run a race session

After the qualifying deadline has ended a grid will be published on the results page. Look what place you have qulaified and go to the driving options menu in the driving menu. Set the quick race start position the same as the your position on the grid. Then start a quick race. Be sure you drive as many laps as it is shown in the schedule. If not you have to adjust your quick race length or the number of laps with Gp2Edit. During your race you have to save your fastest lap. When the race is over wait till the "race over" box appears and save your game. Name the files as the following:

sc_dn_nn.xxx

sc the session code. for the saved game it is ra and for the hotlap hl

dn your driver number.!

nn your initials.

xxx is the file suffix given by Gp2.

For example: If my name is Horst Schmidt and my number would be 55, I would have to name my saved game: RA_55_HS.QRX and my fastest lap: HL_55_HS.HLX

Please zip the files before you send them to tizianofurlan@xyz.it

»Meeting deadlines

»General rules

To make the league fair and nice for everybody it is necessary to follow some other rules:

	Because of the big performance differences between the certain skill levels it is necessary to drive in ace mode.
	You can use all standard driving aids including F2, F5, F6, F7.
	The driving aids F1, F3 and F4 are not allowed. If you use them you will be disqualified.
	It is also necessary to drive with a keyboard. You won't be allowed to drive with a wheel !!!
	If you are on a race session you can save your game. But you're not allowed to reload it. You must drive in a unique session or your race won't be accepted.
	Due to a bug in Gp2 your average processor occupancy mustn't be higher than 100%. And you mustn't be more than 5 seconds above 100%. This is necessary because of the slow-mo the game does if the PO is above 100%. Your time gets counted slower and you have more time to react. That's why there is such a rule.

----------

»Cheating

All kinds of cheating will be penalised. If it occurs one time you will be disqualified. If it occurs often you will be banned !!! Better you don't cheat and you won't get caught.
