Generally Rookie Championship : Season 15 [Login][Race]

[Buka]

Generally Rookie Championship

"let rookies have their say"
GRC website

The GRC is back with its 15th season. This one will be managed not by James, but by me under GRO license. In fact almost nothing have changed except of website adress and mail. Be careful and update your bookmarks.

So, let's get started : GRC, or Generally Rookie Championship is a competition reserved for "Rookies", or more precisly to "Bronze" and "Silver" classes according to GRO rules, ie. rookies and also more experienced "amateur" drivers. So, all the good drivers are not permitted to race there, which makes GRC an ideal entry-level formula to all GR newcomers.

Calendar

So here's the calendar :

• Farlhyn-gt by mith612 : From 11/03/2010 to 17/03/2010
• Ningar City by AleksiNir : From 18/03/2010 to 24/03/2010
• Conte Marlo by Darjo : From 25/03/2010 to 31/03/2010
• Ardennes : From 01/04/2010 to 07/04/2010
• Maradeli by Paw : From 08/04/2010 to 14/04/2010
• Masters of Apasta by James&Tizio: From 15/04/2010 to 21/04/2010 (/!\ 25 km race /!\)

You can check the complete calendar and also standings and results here

So, how do we play ?

Well, as Generally is not a online multiplayer game, everybody have to play offline. But to simulate "real racing", we set up a system : The login system.

It seems quite complicated, but it is not that complicated, in theory, we could summarize this method into 3 steps :

1. You login on the website (you'll find the GRC login link here)
2. You make the race of your life
3. You send required files to grcchamp@gmail.com

But for more details, a simplified version of rules is available on post #2 of this thread

OK, how do we join ?

It's very easy actually, you just need to reply to this thread or send an email to grcchamp@gmail.com and give the following informations :

• Your nickname
• Your email address (to send your login informations)
• Your nationality

But you can also sign up teams, as many drivers as you want, the only condition is to be at least 2 drivers, so basically,
I need to know :

• The name of your team
• The drivers of your team

Here will be the current entry list :


What files do we need ?

All files you need are available in this pack, actually it is a special GR copy for GRC, with tracks, cars, AIs, options, etc. well all you need for GRC.

GRC events use the "login system", meaning that you must login, race, and send files of your attempt to be counted on results, here's exactly how to do step by step :

1. When you ready to race, check your settings, go here and click on the link below, type your login and your password
2. Then, download the .zip file and extract it to the GRC GR copy main folder
3. Start your GRC GR copy.
4. Select the track you've just downloaded, select your driver (IN FIRST), and then the 3 AIs. Start the race
5. Before that the race start, you can save your game and modify starting grid thanks to Savegame reader
6. When you have finished your only attempt (when the results appears), take a screenshot with F11 and save your game
7. .zip your files (I need only .bmp and .gam, no .trk) and send them to grcchamp@gmail.com
8. Wait for the results ^^

You must login here to race for GRC.
