Hi guys,
What is GPL and where can I find it?
/Igor
Newcomer asks 'What is GPL?'
Igor asked what GPL was. Answers ranged from jokes to Race1530's enthusiastic description, a link to GPL movies and where to buy it, with advice that the original boxed version includes printed manuals. Regulars then joked about holding their breath and forgetting to blink during races.
Automated summary.

Igor,
Go here http://jasonwoods.tk/ to the "movies, other movies" page, and
download the "In a Blur" movie for a look at Grand Prix Legends. There are
some other good GPL movies on the same page. It's a great racing
simulation...challenging but very rewarding to learn. Most people think
it's one of the best, next to GTR 2002. A huge list of GPL resources is
here: http://hotgrids.racesimcentral.com/
This is from the box description:
Overview
Known as the most dangerous year of racing, the 1967 season affords the best
showcase for Papyrus' rebuilt physics model. With fast and unstable cars and
perilous tracks devoid of safety measures, Grand Prix Legends offers the
most extreme and realistic racing experience ever for the PC. Completely
redesigned 3D physics model, which allows cars to catch air and interact
realistically with the road and surrounding area like never before.
Features
Grand Prix Legends uses Papyrus Enhanced Artificial Intelligence, and is the
first Papyrus product to offer native 3dfx and Rendition support. By
featuring the cars, tracks and drivers from the 1967 season, Grand Prix
Legends finds the narrow window of time when racing was at its most risky
and fantastic. Includes famous drivers, including Jack Brabham and Jim
Clark, and teams like Ferrari, Lotus, Brabham and BRM.
www.gogamer.com has GPL in stock.

Plenty of links there to buying the game. Try to get the original boxed
version rather than the dvd-style rerelease.

I do too, but it hadn't been posted when I sent in my post.

I think I've said this before but if you do a google search for "gpl"
(without the quotes) the first relevant hit is 8th out of about 2,170,000.
Considering the 'other' gpl that's pretty good going ;-)

Hi Roger,
Why do you say that about the dvd style re-release, is it not the same. I
only ask because I was thinking of getting a second copy (I've had the
original since about 1998) so that my son can run it and we can have races
together.
Thanks
Russell

There's no real difference with gpl itself, and with the re-release you get
the patches on the CD, which saves a bit of hassle.
But the original boxed version has the printed manuals. They're alot easier
to read away from the computer than pdfs ;-)
No other reason really I guess.

You have to *breathe* before you can smell the gasoline. I've had times that
I've become aware that I'd been holding my breath for the last 2 or 3

Apparently, Senna used to do that too. In good company there, Eldred.
My particular oversight is blinking... have to remind myself to do it in
longer races or I mess up my eyes.

I'm the same as Eldred, forgetting to breathe. I also have a tendancy to
grit and grind my teeth. Damn it makes your jaw ache.

Yeah, I've done that as well. Finish a race, then wonder, "Why do my eyes
hurt???"

My problem is the smokes. I have to leave them in another room, or I could
go through a whole pack in a single RASCAR race :)

Tomatoes are poisonous?... Uh-oh...

I thought EVERYONE knew that. Why else would they be so YUCKY tasting?
Think of this: They have fossil records of tomatoe plants that date back
to the times of the dinosaurs. It doesn't take dummy to figure out that
the tomatoe plants are still here and the dinosaurs are NOT!! Sure
scientists can say it got to cold, or some giant-huge space rock slammed
into the Planet and instantly killed all the dino's. But I beleive they
are missing the most OBVIOUS explanation. Plant eating Dino's ate
tomatoes, Plant eating dino's eventually died. Meat Eaters either ate the
infected Plant Eaters or scavenged the carcasses...Goodbye Thunder Lizards.
It's only the Mega-Corparations that have economic interests that keep
the truth from being told.
Secondly, any good Ultima player will remember what the most deadly
natural poison is: Nightshade. What is in the same plant family as
Nightshade????? you guessed it. the Tomatoe! Make sure your next of kin
sends funeral notices to RAS..We'll make a collection and send flowers.

It's the Gay Pirates League.. We meet on irc.shadowworld.net on
channel #GPL. You don't need to be a gay pirate to attend, but try to
remember to at least bring an eye patch. Captain Powell gets a little
crazy when he's had too much Havana Boy so don't mind his awkward
advances.

That big GPL box looks so much better on my shelf than that tiny GPL
