Back in late December when Peter_PaP. posted in this thread, he said they wanted to team up w/me for this season. I was wondering if this person is still interested in racing for this season, so I'll send a PM to him ASAP. If I don't hear from him soon I'll ask if anyone else wants to team up with me. I am still interested in racing this series though. :)

I'll take that as an official no then.

OOooooo So tempting ...

Test session 1 starts this Monday, If I were you, I would join Camikaze now that he's without a teammate.

Updated team table, there's 2 teams with both slots open still & 2 teams with one slot open still.

Remember, Pre-Season Test sesson 1 starts this Monday. You aren't required to run it, but we recommend you do so you can familiarize yourself with your car. If you decide not to run the 3 Pre-Season tests, you don't have to worry about the series until the week of July 16-22.
