You might want to fix the first two race dates, because the month is wrong
 
Are we definitely starting at 7PM GMT? So that would be 8PM BST?
Also this monday might be an issue, dads birthday
 
Am interested, only the timing doesn't work out for me :(

I'm looking to expand my PSN friends list though with fair drivers that like online kart races. Most of the time I'm online on Saturday evenings (BST) and occasional week evenings between 2100 and 2300 BST.

If anyone's up by the way for a similar 'weekend' series, count me in :)

It's a bit late to change the timings right now although I would happily race you on saturdays at 9 if you add me. I can point you in the way to another kart championship that runs on saturdays run by tombrooks97. I think it's in the afternoon though.

Thanks for the hint, found tombrooks97's series on the forum 👍 :)

Next week all times to be moved forward by half an hour. The f
lobby will open at 7:30pm BST and Qualifying 1 will begin at 7:25pm GMT. Race 1 then begins at 8:00pm BST.

On another note, well done to GTP_Galahad23 for taking the lead in the championship, he set 3 fastest laps which were sometimes a second quicker than the next best time. If you would like to find the results then they are available on the social group page just below in my sig.
 
Oh thank you DAN but, to be honest i love this circuit and i drive a lot in it. I dont hope to do all the fastest laps in the top gear test track, but yes win a race ;)
