The World Grand Prix Championships are back for another season of thrills, spills, shunts and bumps. The multiverse's best racing teams will go head to head to find out who is the number one racer - and who is the number one racing team.
For those of you unfamiliar with the WGPC, I could tell you about how it's been going since around 2005, and how its basically a slightly-more-relaxed version of Formula 1, but to best get a feel for how it works, here is a link to the WGPC12 thread from 2013, and here is a link to last year's World Championship, WGPC13, both of which were pretty awesome experiences from start to finish. Having a read of it will give you a feel for how the season works, but bear in mind there are a couple of changes for season fourteen.

The WGPC is the multiverse's oldest open-wheel motor racing championships. Our ethos is to provide a fun RPing environment for everyone, regardless of their knowledge of cars, Formula One, or motor racing in general. You don't need to be a petrolhead to RP here. If you *are* a petrol-head, though, and you're looking for something more in-depth and technical, try Formula Hodori.
Closing date for sign-ups is February 29th 2016.
