Fun Racers Vintage Car Race - September 20th

[250 GTO]

POSTPONED ONE WEEK - NEW DATE IS Tue 20th Sept

Ladies and Gentlemen!
I introduce to you, the first ever Fun Racers Vintage Car Club Race, taking place at the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix Track.
We will ofcourse be racing top of the line classic cars (somewhat), so mind the paint!
The weather forecast says clear blue skies. The only thing that's gonna be raining is champagne and kaviar *harh harh haaarh haaaarh*
The race is scheduled for 2 hours (I haven't tested the lap times yet, so the precise number of laps will be added later), so make sure to visit the lavatory before race start - I am once again looking at you Sir. Marcus!
There will be no qualification, since it doesn't really make any difference in these longer races.

There will be no prices, since we have plenty of money already *harh harh haaarh haaaarh*

And do remember to clear network cache and restart your PS3 before joining.

Chatter while driving is more than welcome, so grab your headset, and a cool glass of white wine - a 78 Montrachet should suite this occasion perfectly, wouldn't you say?

So go ahead and sign up

PPS. Ofcourse if you sign up, and later find out that you can't make it afterall, that's okay, please just drop a line about it here
