Your Name is an {insert your nationality here} sim-racer who currently drivers for {insert current team here}} in the {insert series here}.

To the right, you will see the driver information tables. Feel free to fill them out.

The very top box is the new general driver infobox. Here you have your nationaliry, the year you joined the GPVWC, your very first race at the GPVWC. There is also a line where you entered the series you currently enter and your current teams. This is usually those you have signed with for the current season.

Below this is the driver infoboxes that cater for individual series. You can add additional driver infoboxes for each series you have competed in. The general rule of thumb on the wiki is that you only add an infobox for a series you have actually competed in.

For example, a test driver for a Superleague team who has not started a Superleague race in his career would not add in an infobox for the Superleague. He would have one for whatever series has started an event in.

The order I tend to keep them in is in order of how they came about. In descending order I go Superleague, Supercup, Formula Challenge, Masters, World Sport Series, World GT.

Early Sim-Racing Career

Here you can briefly describe any previous GPVWC experiences you have had. You only need to keep to highlights and clip notes. This really shouldn't be longer than two to three paragraphs.

Series Name

Here we break up your GPVWC history by series. Using this format is easy on the eye and breaks up each series individually to keep things grouped together. It makes it easier if someone wants to read on a particular drivers exploits in a certain season.

20xx

Here we break up your GPVWC history by year under each series. How much (or little) you choose to write in here is up to yourselves. Some choose not to write anything at all while others like to expand with great detail about how their season goes *cough*Joe*cough*.

If you have raced (or will race down the line) in further series, you can add in more headers to keep that written history seperate and not get clumped together.

Racing Career Results

At the tail end of the page is where you can put in individual driver results tables. A template of these tables is located HERE. On this page you will find every series run by the GPVWC and a results table for every year of competition in the GPVWC.

Just select what tables you need and post them on the bottom of your page. The order I tend to keep them in is in order of how they came about. In descending order I go Superleague, Supercup, Formula Challenge, Masters, World Sport Series, World GT. Obviously you don't put in a series box that you haven't competed in.

If you are unsure of how edit them, feel free to ask me or other members of staff. Wiki editing can be a bit trick to the novice.

Confused? Feel free to ask any questions. I also tend to point people in the direction of recently completed pages or my own page which was done with this layout. I found looking at other people's pages when I first got started on the wiki updating as a great way to get an idea for how the coding works.
