Due to the recent events of Hurricane Sandy, certain complications may arise
within the next couple of weeks. For instance, at yesterday's pre-season race
was almost cancelled due to GTPlanet's servers going down. You can always try
searching for the room in the Open Lobby menu by using the filters. Use the key
word "Race for Real" and filter the track that we will be racing that day. Look for
a lobby with the name of "GTP ALMS Private", "GTP ALMS Rd.#{current round}
Private", or similar. Also look for my name or any name on the registration list.
