FAQ

How to enable a track

1. Place gplSeasonManager.exe in Grand Prix Legends root directory, right next to gpl.exe.
2. Let's pretend you want to enable spa67, which is already present in tracks/ subdirectory.
3. Download the corresponding event.ini file from GPL Events Database and place it inside spa67 directory.
4. Open Command Line in GPL directory & execute the following command command: gplSeasonManager enable spa67
5. If no errors occurred, the track is now enabled.

By default, this program reads & modifies 67season.ini. If you want to edit other seasons, please refer to Usage Examples.

Why not GEM+?

1. I hate non-portable software.
2. I hate software doing magic under the hood and patching my executables & files without notice.
3. GEM+ uses sgem.ini to enable tracks in a similar manner, but the latest official GEM+ package was released in 2010, meaning in 2024 this file is really outdated and doesn't include information about newer tracks. Updated sgem.ini versions aren't publicly available and only registered users can access these files.
