I guess the problem was that the field was pretty much GT-R's. But, that's it for Wildcard entries as all 6 spots are filled.
@True-blue-8, could we see you make an appearance in this series at all?

I intend to change my entry from the GTR anyway if that's cool. As a few people said, there are too many GTRs, and it seems to me that group a has enough drivers, and since all the wildcards are in group a, I thought I'd switch to group b if that's ok
Actually, there won't be a championship round this Saturday, but there will be a test session for the first round of the Enduro Cup at Apricot Hill. This will be for all drivers in this series, and if you have a co-driver, they can join in as well, providing that they send ME a friend request prior to Thursday afternoon so I can invite them to the club.
I won't be in attendance, but I am talking to people to host for me.
We will also hopefully be testing out the Live Streaming we (the GTOR) have acquired.

New drama hits ATCC
March 30th 2015
The new GTOR series haven't reached halfway through its maiden season yet that polemics and clashes start to bloom. In case you haven't heard about it already, Ford is heavily rumored to withdraw its full support to the independent team On Strike Racing after their spokesman publicly criticized the car and the inability of the manufacturer to help getting things the right way this weekend.
The relationship didn't start on the right foot, the team couldn't attend the first two rounds due to technical problems with the car and couldn't pass the safety crash tests on time. Worried about its brand image, Ford committed full support to the indy team, the only full time Mustang on the grid at the time.
Unfortunately things didn't go as plan and the results of the 3rd round at Midfield were way below expectations. Despite the optimistic and confident declarations in both official conferences and paddock interviews, the tension between the manufacturer and the team was palpable.
"The Mustang ? It's the typical American car cliche : only good for straight-lines !" said the team's driver, David Talle, quickly withdrawing its declaration, stating it was only a banter, not to take seriously.
Below a picture from a pre-season promotional shooting featuring David Talle and On Strike Racing's (former?) car
The situation got even worse in last round in the British double header. Poor results at Brands Hatch and a first corner incident in London (involving several cars) due to a suspected suspension failure, forcing the team to retire early and preventing them from taking part in the last race. The team appealed the sanction but it is more likely the GTOR/ATCC direction won't step back : "It isn't a problem of who's at fault." declared an ATCC official "If there's a safety issue no matter if it comes from the driver or the car. Any safety deficit is to be penalized.".
It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
The following days things escalated, both putting the blame on each other, resulting in a rumor that Ford broke the team's contract. No one would answer our questions on the matter among both On Strike Racing and Ford Motorsport division.
In the meantime BMW conducted private testing at the Nürburgring circuit this morning and some crew members of On Strike Racing were seen on the trackside. A couple of cars were running on the track including a M4 Coupé in testing livery, looking very similar to the ATCC's M4 specs. Moreover the driver seen on some pictures is suspected to be David Talle, wearing his characteristic yellow and turquoise helmet.
If all this prove to be true, the future of On Strike Racing in ATCC doesn't look that dark, although a switch of manufacturer will mean dropping the few championship points the team hardly earned this far.

Mysterious Team testing spec car looking for entry into ATCC
by Autosport
Monday, March 30th 2015, 22:30 GMT
A mysterious all-black ATCC Group B spec Mercedes-Benz has been spotted circling the Brands Hatch circuit in England this afternoon. The team is rumored to be GT Russian Team, which is currently participating in the Blancpain GT Series with a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3.
However, GT Russian Team has been looking to expand into a different series for a long time now and ATCC might be its best opportunity. If they were to enter into ATCC, it will most likely be in Group B with a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.
Some amateur pictures were released onto the internet almost instantly, revealing the sleek curves of the Mercedes in a testing livery. The team used a special window tint to die out colors inside, and in turn, has made the driver's helmet unrecognizable - Quite a clever tactic.
The driver of car has not been revealed and possibly never will be. However, it is rumored to be current ATCC driver mikey_2412. He has shown impeccable driving over the first few rounds of the season, recording 4 podiums from 6 finishes!
With this news, there are now rumors flying about the internet saying that mikey_2412 may be jumping ship to Group B with Mercedes. It is also reported that he was complaining about the attendance in Group B at the London/Brands Hatch Double Header, in which only 1 Group B entrant had shown up. Plus, mikey_2412 didn't say he hadn't thought about joining Group B.
So, the evidence is there, the rumors are flying about, we just need to wait and see on what mikey_2412 has to comment on this intriguing news.

Obviously changing group is dropping points as it is another championship ranking. I would say even if you change car within the same group you should drop your points.
Ps: @Mikey24 You testing livery copycat !

BMW admits fault to R-Sport
In a recent press conference held in Wexford, Ireland at R-Sport's team headquarters. Team leader and driver WanganGhost has said BMW was deeply apologetic about not supplying race Engines to the team.
"Its really a shame we did not get to race at London or Brands hatch. It was supposed to be more of a home race for us." BMW were at fault with the fiasco as R-Sport builds the chassis. BMW has made no further comment about to why the engines were not delivered. People have noticed an GTOR/ATCC BMW driving around the Nurbürgring though. BMW has not made a comment on this.
