I agree with Captain Franko! If you have gone M.I.A during a season, then wish to rejoin next season, why are you entitled to be treated with a "reward" as such. A loss in performance should be applied. Going back the base starters perf seems logical, and fair to those who have remained active.... Or, if there are circumstances where a driver has voluntarily stood down from active drivby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Totally agree!!! This bloke is not sucked into the commercialism that is, Valentines Day..... LOL Yes, i am married, yes i love my wife very much, but.... she aint getting any extra special attention she doesn't warrant! LOL!

Just a question, should I be seeing in game, a difference between the soft and hard compound tyres? Should one of them have the green/blue stripe around the rim area? Not sure if I have got the proper appearance for these tyres or not...??by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Not the best of performances, even with the addition of a boost. Still, not too far off my team mate. Hopefully we can get some luck, and sneak up into a points finish.by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
That list is pretty much what I thought was the 'latest' lineup... I think my paint dept can relax for a while yet... maybe a S7 entrant perhaps...LOLby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Just a question regarding Season 6, and the team waiting list. From what I recall, MAC Racing and Christel VXR are going to be on the grid, but are there officially/unofficially any extra teams currently operating that are going/gone? I know with all the driver movements and retirements at the moment, it may all be a bit confusing, so is there any chance of an official GPGSL update on a proposedby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Hoping to arrive in the USA within the next day or two, and head to Disneyland for a bit of fun ahead of the Indianapolis race weekend. A hike/run through the Arizona deserts for pre-race training is on the agenda. This fat boy is tearing it up in the gym, to get the race weight down a bit!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
TNR debutant Sheppard press statement. What a miserable end to what could have been a promising debut race. Running in the top 10 then a spin into the sand trap to condemn me to a lowly finish. Still, a kind of expected result, with the driver still coming to terms with the racing scenario, after a season full of testing. My sponsors were happy though, getting plenty of time on the race coverageby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Awesome! Looking forward to the 2011 season already!!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Looks like i may have really pulled a lap out of the bag for qualifying. I appear to be dropping back, with a queue forming behind me. Guessing my lack of a boost for this race was always going to be a hinderance in overall performance. Hopefully a finish in the top half of the field is still achievable....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Starting 9th on the grid for my debut in GPGSL racing. Quite happy with that, given the ordinary running early in the session. Hopefully this is a signal of good things to come for the race, and a message to the rest of the field, that I am here to race for results, not just run around making up the numbers...by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
22nd so far? Wow! I suck...lol. Guess I am tired, after running the test session too...thats my excuse and I am sticking to it! Or.... I am running development parts on the TNR for evaluation for next season, and so far, those parts aren't working!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
So am I running the Tester's role as well as the actual race seat as well? I can only assume this is the case, given the "vacant" testers seat at TNR, since my elevation to a race seat??by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Aaaaah, thanks for the headsup! Downloading now....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Having searched the GP4 forum here, and browsing thru the GP4-Argentina thread of gr48 (who has made awesome helmets for 2010!!) I haven't spotted a helmet for Paul di Resta. With him tipped to be announced as one of the Force India drivers in the next day or so, I was hoping to track down a version of his helmet. Anyone got it, or at least a link to it they can share?by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
It is all fitting in well for this Adelaide event - today is Australia Day, the Poms will be put to the sword by the Aussies in a 1 Day cricket game at the Adelaide Oval, and apparently my team boss is shouting all the GPGSL a full Aussie bbq lunch trackside.....by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
As a Melburnian, and someone who has been to the GP for 13 of the 15 yrs it has been held here, it is a great event! The greenies say the park has been ruined by the GP, but truth be known, the GP has turned the location into a modernised, clean and maintained parkland area of the city!! Prior to the first GP of this modern era in 1996, Albert Park was nothing more than a desolate, uncared for swby shep34 - F1
This Aussie driver is itching to hit the track in Adelaide. Nerves about stepping up into the big game are there, but minimal amounts of fear are present! Hoping for a good solid run in the True North Racing machine, something for myself and the team to work on for the rest of the season is the goal.by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
New Race Driver for True North Racing Press Statement. Glen Sheppard gladly accepts the promotion to race driver for TNR, after running as one of the teams' test drivers for the season so far. After offers for various roles at another team, loyalty to TNR was a big factor. Just starting out in this GPGSL business, bridges were not wanting to be burnt, and staying with TNR was an easy choiby shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Awesome tribute to one of the all time greats, if not the greatest.by shep34 - F1
Worked for me too! And very glad to comment that this track is 100% awesome fun!! Going to take many, many laps around this place in the coming weeks I think! Great work to all involved!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Anxiously wanting/hoping to run this track, but I too get a CTD when the progress bar in GP4 gets almost to the end. Tried the above method, but it doesn't quite make sense to me, an extreme non-expert at doing anything like described! Hoping something can be sorted out with this, as it appears from the video, this track would be awesome!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
AWESOME!!!!! Those pics are just amazing. Really looking forward to getting laps on this track!!!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4

12th place isn't too bad, in trying weather conditions! Couldn't help but notice, it appeared I was the first/ the bravest/ the gutsiest/ the most crazy to go to slicks as the track dried! Just a shame our True North racer couldn't quite get the handle on the conditions.by shep34 - Grand Prix 4

Just testing a userbar I whipped up myself, and announcing intentions that this TNR Tester intends to excel here in Dubai. A great track, with flowing corners and fast straights - much like Le Mans, where I enjoyed a very good result!by shep34 - Grand Prix 4
Oh no! What will NASCAR do without Narain there? You know he won the Most Popular Driver Award in their Camping World Truck Series, after running just 7 races in the season!!!! LOL Narain winning that award is clear proof that the Indian public, despite living in squalor, filth, poverty etc, can clearly use the internet to support their sportsmen. Either that, or Narain has a very tired finger fby shep34 - F1
