TNR's Glen Sheppard post race statement.... Disappointed. Frustrated. Confused. Angry..... Just some of the words I could use. So much power under the foot for Silverstone, but a very poor qualifying run pretty much put pay to a great result. There was plenty of speed in the True North Racing BMW, but we just couldn't utilise it. Traffic and a a slight off early in the race dented tby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
By my calculations and predictions, I should easily win this race : From 18th to 10th in the first 9 laps. Plenty of time to go, and plenty of speed under the carbon fibre TNR.....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Have just finished running a full 100% race distance at this great track! Wow!!! Great track, right across the board. Had a great run there, and seriously enjoyed running on this layout. Well done to all involved in this one!!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
15th???? WTF???!!!!! Lol. Oh well, guess I will just have to pass 14 cars...by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
36 hours of commercials so far in the Free Practise session... Geez, the GPGSL bank account must be bursting at the seems with all this revenue.... LOLby shep34 - Grand Prix 4

I am headed off to the shops soon to buy the week's food. Gonna get some nice juicy steaks to put on the TNR bbq.... LOLby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Hmmm, the TNR boosts: Just ran 3 accelerated time races at Silverstone, with a variety of results. One TNR with a dominant win; a TNR 1-2; and one engine bbq and loose wheel in another race. Ought to be a bit of pot luck as to what the official result will be! Can't wait!!! LOL!! I like these odds.....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
French Driver Announcement..... After an international search for the best, or cheapest driver available with French heritage, the French GPGNC team proudly announce that the great, legendary Jean Girard is the driver. Jean comes to GPGNC with a record of achieving greatness in all of his previous racing. He even starred in a crappy nascar racing film along side Will Ferrell!!!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Pre Race Press Statement from TNR's Glen Sheppard Heading into this last race of the year, we at TNR wanted to shoot for the stars! Both Norbert and I had driver boost available, and combined with the Team boost, I think it was a 100% agreed team strategy to throw caution to the wind, and hopefully finish the season with a bang, one way or another!!! Got the fingers crossed our TNR enginby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Wow, from a personal view, and a TNR drivers view, this final round is gonna be exciting!! A good weekend should give TNR a 3rd place finish in the Constructors title, and as long as our engines don't blow up this weekend, hopefully a top 8 in the drivers title for me. Just got to hold off that Tafuro GP machine of Gianluigi....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4

A pretty good qualifying spot failed to live up to an equally decent race result. Whilst TNR team mate Norbert improved all race, I seemed to go backwards all race long! Sloppy pit stops, and just a touch off the overall pace. 9th place is okay, but only just..... Hoping to close the season in Silverstone with a great showing......by shep34 - Grand Prix 4

Attention Race Fans! Having almost finished going through the billions of screenies FRAPS took of this race, you can expect a whopping coverage coming your way! Upwards of 150 photos look like making the cut! Plenty of action early in the race, some big accidents, an oil fire and some high drama and a brain fade or two..... Look out for full coverage within the next 24 hours......by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Qualifying for Interlagos has been run, with screenshots been sifted through right now. Hope to have that posted in the next hour or two.... A fairly dull session, with the final 7 minutes seeing zero track action!! 1 incident during the session, from a driver who is fairly sheepish in wanting to mention this.... screenshots should indicate who that driver is/was.....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Test Drivers session at Interlagos has been run.... Hope to have that posted here tonight, within the next hour or two.... Then, hope to get the Qualifying posted within 24hrs, then the race within a day or two after that (starting a new job as of Wednesday, so hope to get it all done before then, or... at very least, run/won/ready to post by around Wed night my time....)by shep34 - Grand Prix 4

Absolutely thrilled with a pole at Spa!!! Have been dreading qualifying at times this season, with some pretty ordinary results. This time, the reward for perseverence is great! Pole at Spa, you ripper! Now I just have to get the mighty TNR off the line, through the first corner safely, the pedal to the metal through Eau Rouge and fingers crossed the next BIG reward follows....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Another good showing from the TNR guys. Hopefully Norbert and I can show similar pace in qualifying, and each bring home a strong finish. Plenty of boost being used right across the field, so it ought to be an interesting race weekend.by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
I "may" be available to do a race weekend as RD "IF" the timing is right, and a race is ready to be run the weekend of 17-18th Sept. Got a few days off there.... So, if needed, I can put my hand up to take it on...by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Obviously GP4 has a limit of 17 races in a season, but why (hypothetically, of course...) limit the GPGNC to 17 races? If 22 nations are entered, and there are tracks nominated for those countries, and possibly a "neutral" race to close the season, why couldn't 22 races be held? TSM allows for easy loading of tracks, so it isn't like it's a major issue. Results could beby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
I personally love that Dubai circuit! Have run there the past 2 seasons in a row as a fill in race for Valencia. Great layout, real fun to drive! Plenty of great "neutral" tracks available for consideration. Dubai, Yas Marina (potential issues there, maybe with permissions??), Brno, Donnington Park perhaps, Fuji, Road America... heaps of options. It doesn't bother me what tracby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
