There has been an amazing number of utilities create by some extremely talent members of the GPL Community over the years. Here is a list of those utilities.


Absolutely Essential Utilities

Logitech Wheel Drivers

If you run a Logitech wheel, like the majority of us, you can get the most current drivers here.


GPLPS GPL Installer by Bernd Nowak.

The utility greatly simplfies the fresh installation of GPL. It applies many of the basic patches and updates the car and original track graphics with the exception of Monaco which you can get HERE


GEM + iGOR by Paul Thurston

GEM functions as a front-end to GPL, which allows you to choose which mod you wish to run as well as many other settings. iGOR is the online race aggregator with built-in chat functionality.


Pribluda orignally written by Denis Fedorov and updated by Amir Kamal

Pribluda is an essential tool for hotlappers as it provides split times and for online racing as it provides standings and time gaps to cars in front and behind you. This feature is very useful to make sure it is safe to leave the pits or to reenter the track after an off. The most current version is 1.1.1.0 (20080209). Pribluda is included with the GPLPS GPL Installer noted above but an older version, 0.97 which some actually prefer over the new version. The older version (0.97) is also available on a standalone basis from this link.


GPL Digitial Display Modifier Look under Utilities then under Lee and Stefan

This utility allows the user to view the same information available at the bottom of the screen, such as RPM and gear, as is visable in the out-of-cockpit view while in the normal cockpit view. This utility is included with the GPLPS GPL Installer. So if you used it, you have already got it.


WinVROC

This is an program used to host and join online races. It also has chat funcationality. iGOR the primary tool now to host and join races but some leagues still use WinVROC.
