Hi guys ! :)

I was hired to be the proud ambassador of the GRPL Discord community here on GRIF, and you are warmly welcome to join us thanks to the link below.

GRPL Discord : https://discord.gg/3pqsD9n

What will you find there ?

The most active GR community online, mostly organizing competitions with high quality tracks and cars.

If you're an old GR member, you'll surely find with surprise some fellow friends you knew years ago. You may also unravel your driving skills competing with fierce opponents.

If you discovered GeneRally recently and are new about all this, welcome to the GR community ! We are pleased that you discovered this great fun game, and you are invited to have fun with us, even if you're new with competitions.


Overview of the series:

This year, a novelty : With F1 and F2 categories is added the F3 category. More details below.

Formula 1
  • . Real F1 teams managed by Team Managers who recruit best drivers available
    . More advanced rules, various strategies, wet racing
    . Longer races (15km) faster cars, higher tyre wear
    . For more experienced/ambitious players
Formula 2:
  • . Real-life F2 teams which function as junior F1 teams, supervised by the same Team Managers that manage F1 teams
    . More relaxed competition: simple rules, no strategies, one tyre compound
    . Medium races (10km), medium speed cars, medium tyre wear
    . For less experienced players
    . The same calendar as F1
Formula 3 :
  • . Real-life F3 teams, supervised by F1 and F2 Team Managers.
    . Relaxed competition : simple rules, no strategies, few laps to do.
    . Short races (7km), slow cars, low tyre wear
    . For rookies and players who just began to play to GR, ideal for first timers !
    . The same calendar as F1

Basic rules:
English version of rulebook is available on our discord server, but here is a brief overview:
Team Managers responsible for hiring and participation of drivers
Qualifying + race format (Q determines a starting position for race) with login system
Deadlines for qualifying sessions on Thursdays, for races - on Sundays
7 laps of qualifying in F1, 4 laps in F2 and F3, / 15 km race in F1, 10 km race in F2, 7 km race in F3

Cars & tracks:
We use the finest collection of real world tracks created by best trackmakers in Generally, including Maciej1, Areen, Sartalas, Gabor Kozma, futuredesign and others. Calendar is below.

Game pack:
Available on our discord server (link above) under F1, F2 & F3 section.

How to sign up?
Write a post in #zapisy-signup channel according to instructions. List of Team Managers who have free seats can be found in #calendar-entrylist channel. After signing up you will receive your login data from administrator.

Calendar - updated 25.05.2020 :

Entry list - updated 25.05.2020 :
Entry List.png
Yes we have already begun the competition, but don't worry ! You may always sign up, it's not too late until the competition is finished ! Also, qualifying sessions determine your place for each race. That means, if you want to join the competition even if you're late, you may have some chances to finish on the podium in a race (with training :D ).

For first timers :
Are you afraid to join us ? Are you imagining yourself screwing your races so badly ? Is your driving in GR sucks ? Are you totally new to GR competition ?
Me too, when I joined for first time.
Yes at all those questions, yes I was stressed to death during my first login, yes my driving was like I drunk too much, I even have to go to the pit stop because I drove like a fly bouncing into windows, yes I didn't have some good results at the beginning.
But...
That was so fun ! :goodvibes:
And I continue enjoying myself doing so, and like you'll see, with perseverance and training (I learned a lot there), you'll have good results. I'm sure of it.
So I warmly welcome you again to compete with us, and have fun ! :bsmile:

Replays are available on Discord. Links for videos of the races (if available) will be posted there.

Round 5 : Czech Republic GP
R5 - F1.png
R5 - F2.png
R5 - F3.png
(First time I comment on such event, don't know a lot from motorsport and don't know each one of the competitors very well, but I'll try my best)

Feared by some, wanted by others, this 5th round of the competition will takes place in Brno in Czech Republic. Very demanding track, technical, lot of tight corners and not so many places to rest (apart from the restaurace near the paddocks). Drivers may wander in the forest around the track in training sessions to let off the pressure, or eat some wieners to become winners (I'm sorry for this).


In F1, a surprising quote by Lorenzo saying that he dislikes this track. It may be a chance for the other drivers but they have to still be watchful. Last race was not in favor of Lorenzo looking qualifying sessions, but still won it. Tinjovic or Lorenzo on podium ? Maybe someone else ?

In F2, it's difficult to say anything before the qualifying sessions and the race. Lot of good drivers are battling for first place, and the favorites may be between Mszostus, Brodaty, Gzehoo, FRUKIScze, Sartalas... Campos Team is not far behind, and with the addition of goat who was a great competitor in F3, competition will be once more fierce.

In F3, Art1st is taking 1st place one race after another, and no one knows who will stop him and when. Several contenders are behind, like Kikwik and Roch95 to take his place and to add pressure on him. goat was a serious opponent too but left to F2. With the arrival of Pat from higher category, it will be even more difficult for Art1st. Pat may not have stunning results in his former racing category, but it may drastically change in F3.

Good luck to every racers and stay tuned for results ! (Will post results next day of their release on Discord)

(Hope it was ok for first time :) )

This is great idea and I can't think about anyone better for this work :bg:

Meanwhile this is me, while waiting for my first race victory in F2. -> :bomb:
But I hope the fuse is way more closer to the end and exploading. :misch:

Thanks FRUKIScze ! :bsmile:

You make me remember that Brno is your home turf (I forgot to say it in my previous post) and that you're surely pump to the max for this race ! :macho:

Good luck and make a big explosion there ! (I hope I will race before you, as I don't want to be caught in your destructive power. :D )

Rumours say that FRUKIScze has done a lot of practice already, but will he match the pace of the returning Brazilian? Anyway, let's have some non-Polish winner finally, at least in one series :P

Breaking news ! :hammer:

Some changes in teams today : Darq from F1 goes to F3 to take the place of Dropbox, who has retired definitely from the competition. A free seat is now open in Marcinho's F1 team.

F3 competition will be harder with those late additions (Pat and Darq). Will they blow away the competition ?

We wish them good luck ! :bg:

Round 5 : Czech Republic GP - Qualifications :

F1 Results :

F2 Results :

F3 Results :
R5 - F3 - Results.png
In F1, an impressive teammate workout has been made for both drivers of Haas and Mercedes teams who's sharing the first places of this qualifying session. Ziwi put a huge amount of fuel giving a significant amount of unnecessary weight, but despite this he gained an average position in the standings.

In F2, even if lot of pressure was on him for this race, FRUKIScze won the qualifying session in his home turf. But be careful at the newcomers Serginho and Pablinho, who made also good times despite their penalties. Mszostus is behind and Alonsomania too with a surprising comeback. goat didn't make it this time, transition between racing categories are not kind, but he may catch some places during the race.

In F3, no surprise once again with Art1st in Pole Position, followed by Gimpek who's waking up since Germany GP, and darq who gains from the F1 to F3 transfer. The previous main contenders Roch95 and Kikwik are a little behind, but both made great comeback in previous races and we'll see if they'll redo the same here. Pat have an average position but may climb the ladders during the race. Konrado have a good place to take 9th place for the 5th time. Will he do it again ? :P

Surprisingly good qualifying results, despite this track being very technical. We can see all the efforts and training each drivers put in this race.

The outcomes of the race will be surprising too, I'm sure of it, as everything could happen. A mistake is easily made here, a lack of focus after driving through a lot of those corners or a tire on a sunk tire, and it may produce some great fights on the tarmac arena.

See you on Sunday for the race, Monday for results, and be ready for the 5th round of the season ! :popcorn:

It was Kikwik, commentator of GRPL Discord server for GRPL F1, F2 and F3 season. :coffee:

I'm glad to see some familiar names back on track :bg: Thank you Serginho! I really needed that luck to stay P1 with that margin to P2. I hope we can show some good and fair battles without any penalties in race :boxing: , so fans will be entertained and we could see more Czech GPs in the future. :cool2:
It's a pity you missed your home GP this season already :kickcan:
