To join a
race, either:
- select it in the racelist and
click Join in the toolbar
- double-click on the race
- right-click on the race and choose
Join.
Whichever way you do it, the following
dialog will be shown (assuming the race has not already started (red X
icon) and you have the track installed (red N/A icon if not)).
Note: if you get a message similar to 'No mods found', then you need to
go to Options and check the path to GPL. Then also check that
sierra/gpl/mods/gplmods.ini is correctly configured, and restart iGOR.
Host

Information about the race is shown
uppermost in the dialog -

location)
Player

here.
Mod Choice
- If the host is allowing different mods, you will be able to choose
the mod you wish to drive with here. If the host is not allowing
different mods, this option will not be visible.
Car -
choose your car here. This depends on the chosen mod, and the
chassis that are allowed by the host.
Helmet Colour

work, this colour will not work properly on anything but the original
2d style helmet graphics.

servers ;-)

than anything!
