A couple of things to say on our off weekend before Le Mans, first being that the provisional BoP for Le Mans has been posted in the BoP table for competitor review. Hoping to be able to finalize that on Monday.
Secondly, a vote has been started to determine which event VRR will host as its 2020 Summer special event. It's a free vote, and anyone interested in voting may select any of the responses they so choose. https://forms.gle/Ab4p6gnHbyAGojpp6
First quarter of the season is already down, and the next race is arguably the most important of the season, Le Mans is going to be a pretty big test of endurance for both driver and equipment, and I wish everyone the best of luck. Race availability again is required by February 7th, at 10:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time.

Le Mans is out of the race, clearly a difficult race for multiple reasons, between the Balance of Performance not being correct enough, in addition to the expected fatigue the race distance brings. But that is behind us now. Spa is the next race up, using the baseline BoP, so racing should be closer, with a couple of tweaks to help fix the persistent balance issues with the Supra and the Jaguar. Race availability confirmation is required by February 14th, at 10:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time.
Something else I will be addressing is the clearing of vacated entries. Due to the withdrawals and changes to the roster of Above and Beyond Racing, two BMW Z4 slots have been freed for reselection. Due to complications with the Ferrari 458 Italia, the #16 car will be given the first opportunity to switch to the Z4 should that team elect to. Pending that decision, the remaining space will be open to any team to make an adjustment, at the expense of being ineligible of inheriting any provisional status of making the change.
